Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Batter
- 8 oz cream cheese at room temperature
- ½ teaspoon clear vanilla extract
- ½ cup granulated white sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Fanta orange soda
- drop of orange food color (optional)
Oreo Crust/Base
- ¾ cup Oreo crumbs (from about 10 Oreo sandwich cookies)
- 1.5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
Spooky Eyes
- 4 Oreo cookies
- Candy eyeballs
- Red food color marker
- Caramel sauce (for sticking eyeballs)
Instructions
- Make the cheesecake batter: Beat cream cheese using the paddle attachment of a stand mixer or hand mixer until smooth. Add granulated sugar and clear vanilla extract, then beat until well combined. Divide the cream cheese mixture equally into two bowls. Add 3 tablespoons of Fanta orange soda to one bowl and mix well; add a drop of orange food color if desired for a brighter orange color. Chill the heavy cream bowl and whisk attachment for 20 minutes, then whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Divide whipped cream into two equal parts and gently fold each into the two colored cream cheese mixtures separately. Refrigerate both mixtures.
- Prepare the Oreo crust: Use a food processor to crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs. Mix melted unsalted butter into the Oreo crumbs until evenly combined. Spoon half of the Oreo mixture into the bottom of each serving glass or divide among four small glasses for smaller portions. Place glasses in the freezer to chill for 20 minutes.
- Make spooky Oreo eyes: Twist open each Oreo cookie to separate the halves. On the cream side, carefully place a candy eyeball and secure it using a small amount of caramel sauce. Use a red food color marker to draw veins around the eyeball for a spooky effect. Prepare 3 to 4 eyes. Set aside.
- Assemble the parfait: Remove cheesecake mixtures from the refrigerator and put the white and orange batters into separate piping bags. Take chilled glasses from the freezer. Pipe a layer of orange cheesecake batter over the Oreo crust, then pipe a layer of white cheesecake batter on top. Sprinkle some reserved Oreo crumbs on top of the white layer. Repeat layering with orange then white cheesecake batter, finishing with white batter on top. Garnish with more crushed Oreo crumbs and the prepared spooky eyes.
- Chill the parfait: Refrigerate the assembled Oreo cheesecake parfait for 3 to 4 hours to set before serving.
Notes
- Use clear vanilla extract to keep the cheesecake batter as white as possible.
- Chill the bowl and whisk attachment before whipping cream for better volume.
- Adjust the amount of orange soda and food coloring for your preferred orange intensity.
- If caramel sauce is not available, use a small amount of honey or melted white chocolate to stick the candy eyeballs.
- Serve chilled for best texture and flavor.
- Can be made a day in advance and kept refrigerated.
