Ingredients

Scale

Crust

  • 14 Oreo cookies

Cheesecake Filling

  • 2 – 8 ounce packages cream cheese, softened
  • ½ cup powdered sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 – 8 ounce container Cool Whip, thawed and divided
  • Orange gel coloring

Toppings

  • Ghost Peeps
  • Halloween sprinkles
  • Candy pumpkins

Instructions

  1. Prepare Crust: Crush 7 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by hand and divide the crumbs evenly into 7 – 5 ounce cups to form a cookie crust base.
  2. Make Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in 2 cups of Cool Whip to blend without deflating the mixture.
  3. Color the Cheesecake Mixtures: Divide the cheesecake filling evenly into two bowls. Add orange gel coloring to one bowl and mix thoroughly to create a vibrant orange cheesecake layer, leaving the other bowl white.
  4. Assemble White Layer: Spoon or pipe the white cheesecake mixture evenly over the Oreo crumb base in each cup.
  5. Add Middle Crust Layer: Crush the remaining 7 Oreo cookies into fine crumbs and divide evenly among the cups, layering them over the white cheesecake mixture.
  6. Assemble Orange Layer: Spoon or pipe the orange cheesecake mixture evenly over the Oreo crumb middle layer in each cup.
  7. Top with Cool Whip Swirls: Using a piping bag fitted with a 1M tip, swirl the remaining Cool Whip on top of each parfait to create a fluffy topping.
  8. Decorate: Add ghost Peeps, Halloween sprinkles, and candy pumpkins on top of each cup just before serving to keep decorations fresh and intact.

Notes

  • Use room temperature ingredients to ensure smooth and creamy cheesecake filling; set cream cheese out beforehand.
  • Use a food processor to finely crush Oreos, including the frosting, resulting in a consistent crumb texture.
  • Substitute the Oreo crust with crushed graham crackers or Biscoff cookies for a different flavor.
  • Customize colors by tinting cheesecake filling with different gel colors, like bright green for a unique Halloween effect.
  • Use a piping bag or a ziplock bag with a corner cut off to achieve neat, professional-looking layers and toppings.
  • Wait to add toppings if transporting; cover cups with lids or plastic wrap and decorate upon arrival to maintain freshness and decoration quality.
