Ingredients
Chocolate Ganache
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Whipped Cream
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces cream cheese room temperature
- 2/3 cup powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
Other Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed Oreo cookies (reserve 1/2 cup for topping)
Instructions
Chocolate Ganache
- Place the chocolate chips in a large bowl and set aside. Heat the heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Once it comes to a simmer, pour it over the chocolate chips. Let it sit for about 2 minutes without touching, then whisk the chocolate and cream together until smooth.
- Place a piece of plastic wrap directly over the ganache and allow it to cool to room temperature before placing in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes (or overnight).
Whipped Cream Mixture
- In a stand mixer or electric mixer with the whisk attachment, whip cream on high until soft peaks form. Reduce the speed to low and add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar slowly while mixing, then transfer to another bowl.
- Add the room temperature cream cheese to the mixer and whip on high until light and fluffy. Carefully add in one scoop of whipped cream at a time until the cream cheese and whipped cream are combined.
Assembling the Parfaits
- When you're ready to assemble the parfaits, remove the chocolate ganache from the fridge and whip with a hand mixer, or in a stand mixer with the whisk attachment, until light and fluffy - about 2-3 minutes.
- Scoop the whipped cream mixture and whipped chocolate ganache into separate piping bags and cut the tips off.
- In the bottom of a small jar or cup, add a few tablespoons of crushed Oreos. Next, pipe in a layer of whipped cream, then a layer of chocolate ganache. Repeat the layers of Oreos, whipped topping and chocolate ganache one more time so that there are 2 layers of each.
- Garnish the top with a bit more whipped cream and a sprinkle of crushed Oreos, then serve immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
