Ingredients
Scale
Cheesecake Filling
- 8 oz cream cheese (softened)
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt
- 3 Tbsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
Other Ingredients
- 14 Oreos (including cream filling)
- 8 oz strawberries (diced into small pieces)
- Whipped cream (optional, for topping)
Instructions
- Soften the Cream Cheese: Set your cream cheese out on the counter about an hour before starting to allow it to come to room temperature and soften, ensuring it blends smoothly with other ingredients.
- Crush the Oreos: Place the Oreos in a zippable bag and crush them using a rolling pin or pulse briefly in a food processor until you get coarse crumbs. Set aside.
- Prepare the Cheesecake Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, Greek yogurt, vanilla extract, and maple syrup. Mix well using a fork or electric mixer until smooth and creamy, making sure the cream cheese is well incorporated.
- Assemble the Cups: Spoon or pipe about 1/4 cup of the cheesecake filling into the bottom of each parfait jar or cup. Sprinkle 2-3 tablespoons of crushed Oreos over the cheesecake layer, then add 2-3 tablespoons of diced strawberries. Repeat the layers until the jar is filled, aiming for around 6 layers total (2 layers of each type).
- Top and Serve: Finish by piping or spooning whipped cream on top, if desired. Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cream cheese is properly softened before mixing to avoid lumps.
- You can substitute maple syrup with honey or agave nectar if preferred.
- Use fresh, ripe strawberries for optimal flavor and sweetness.
- These parfaits can be refrigerated for up to 2 days, but the Oreo crumbs may soften over time.
- Feel free to customize the dessert by adding nuts or chocolate chips for extra texture.
- If you want a vegan version, use dairy-free cream cheese, plant-based yogurt, and vegan Oreos.
