How to make Cheesecake Parfait Cups

In a small bowl, add 1/4 cup of water, then add in the gelatin.

Begin to prepare the cheesecake filling while the gelatin sets. (This will allow the Gelatin to ‘Bloom’ or absorb the water. This will help your cheesecake set better when it is mixed in.)

Add the cream cheese, greek yogurt, and heavy cream into a mixing bowl of a standing mixer and combine at low speed. Use a spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl and combine until smooth.

Pour in the sugar, vanilla, and lemon juice and blend again at low speed. Use the spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl again and blend until smooth and creamy.

Place the gelatin into the bowl and combine until smooth.

Combining ingredients in a mixing bowl.

Place two cookies in a plastic bag to crumble and then, place them into the bottom of each Parfait cup.

Scoop the cheesecake filling into the cup on top of the cooking crumbles. You will want to fill the cup about halfway.

Adding some crushed Oreo's to the bottom of the glass.

Crush up about 2-3 more cookies to add on top of the filling and then, top with more cheesecake filling to the top of the cup.

Adding the pudding to the glass.

Take some of the mini chocolate chips and sprinkle them on top, then take one Oreo and put it on the side of the cup.

Put the Java Chip Parfait cups in the fridge for at least 4 hours to chill, or overnight for the best results.

Serve, and Enjoy!

What is Java Chip?

Java chips are chunks of chocolate that are used in coffee. These chips are used in other things, like this dessert. With a little bit of coffee flavor, these chocolate chips are perfect for adding coffee flavor.

How to Soften the Cream Cheese?

To soften cream cheese quickly, you can cut the cream cheese into smaller cubes, this will allow the temperature to soften it faster. You can also beat the cream cheese with a few teaspoons of milk in order to quickly soften it. And, finally, you can place it into the microwave for 15-20 seconds to warm it slightly.
