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
- 1 drop 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 Decoration
- 4 Oreos
- Candy eyeballs
- Red food color marker
Instructions
- Make the cheesecake batter: Beat cream cheese with a paddle or hand mixer until smooth. Add sugar and clear vanilla extract, then beat until well combined. Divide the mixture equally into two bowls. Add 3 tablespoons of Fanta orange to one bowl and mix well; optionally add orange food color to intensify the color. Whisk heavy cream in a chilled bowl and whisk attachment until whipped. Divide whipped cream into two equal parts and gently fold each part into the respective cream cheese mixtures to create two batters, one white and one orange. Chill these mixtures in the refrigerator.
- Make the Oreo crust: Crush Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor. Mix in melted butter thoroughly. Divide the Oreo mixture equally and place half into the bottom of 2 serving glasses (or use 4 small glasses). Reserve the remaining crumbs for layering and topping. Freeze the glasses for 15 to 20 minutes.
- Create the spooky Oreo eyes: Twist apart each Oreo cookie and place a candy eyeball on the cream side using caramel sauce as glue. Use a red food color marker to draw veins around the eyeballs on each Oreo half. Prepare 3 to 4 of these spooky eyes and set aside.
- Assemble the parfait: Transfer the white and orange cheesecake batters into separate piping bags. Remove the frozen glasses from the freezer and pipe orange cheesecake batter over the Oreo base. Follow with a layer of white cheesecake batter, then sprinkle some reserved Oreo crumbs on top. Repeat the layering process, ending with a white cheesecake batter layer. Garnish with additional crushed Oreos and the prepared spooky eyes for decoration.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the parfaits for 3 to 4 hours to set fully before serving.
Notes
- Use clear vanilla extract to keep the cheesecake batter white and prevent color change.
- Chilling the mixing bowl and whisk attachment helps achieve better whipped cream.
- If Fanta orange is unavailable, substitute with an orange soda or orange juice concentrate for flavor.
- To stick candy eyeballs, caramel sauce or melted white chocolate works well as adhesive.
- The orange food color is optional and depends on the desired visual effect.
- Freezing the glasses before layering helps set the crust firmly and prevents mixing of layers.
