Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup cream cheese (softened)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 tsp mint extract
- 8-10 Oreo cookies, crushed (for the base and topping)
- Green food coloring (optional, for a festive touch)
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, beat the heavy whipping cream with 1/2 cup powdered sugar and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, beat the cream cheese with 1/2 cup powdered sugar until smooth.
- Add the milk, mint extract, and a few drops of green food coloring to the cream cheese mixture. Continue to beat until everything is well incorporated.
- Gently fold in the whipped cream mixture into the cream cheese mixture until smooth and creamy.
- In serving glasses or bowls, layer the mint cream mixture and crushed Oreos. Start with a layer of Oreo crumbs, then add a layer of mint cream. Repeat the layers, finishing with the cream mixture.
- Top with a sprinkle of crushed Oreos and, if desired, a few more drops of green food coloring.
- Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1 hour to allow the layers to set before serving.
Notes
- You can make these parfaits a day ahead and store them in the refrigerator.
- Feel free to swap the Oreos for your favorite cookie.
- To make this vegan, use dairy-free cream cheese and coconut cream instead of heavy whipping cream.
- If you don’t have green food coloring, skip it! The parfaits will still taste amazing.
