No-Bake Oreo Cheesecake Parfaits
If you love Oreo cookies and cheesecake, you will definitely love these cookies and cream parfaits too. Crunchy Oreo cookies and a silky homemade creamy mousse are layered into glasses – every spoonful is rich and creamy, yet light and airy.
These dessert parfaits are a really quick (no-bake) treat that only require 6 ingredients and no oven.
Ingredients Needed
You only need 6 ingredients to make this no bake treat.
(For all the details, scroll below to the complete printable recipe card.)
- Oreo cookies – Regular or double stuffed.
- Heavy cream – Makes the filling rich and creamy.
- Powdered sugar – Combined with the heavy cream for sweetness. Avoid granulated sugar or it will be grainy.
- Cream cheese – Softened to room temperature for easier blending.
- Whole milk – Helps loosen the filling.
- Vanilla – For flavor.
Recipe Variations
There are actually a couple fun ways you could change this up and still keep the same look and refreshing flavor.
- Use different Oreos. Replace the regular Oreos with mint or golden ones.
- Make it minty. Add in a 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract.
- Make it boozy. Blend in some Baileys Irish Cream for an adult parfait.

Proper Storage
- To make the cream filling ahead of time: The filling can be prepped 1 day prior to assembly. Keep in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
- Storing assembled parfaits: Parfaits should be kept refrigerated until ready to serve. They can be assembled up to 1 day in advance, but the longer they sit, the whipped cream will start to loosen and become flat and the cookie will lose all of their crunch.

It was delicious!!!!!!
I might’ve just found the most delicious parfait recipe! Thanks for sharing!
I made this parfait last night for my grandchildren and they loved it. The mousse turned out very light and fluffy and they loved the crunch of the oreo cookies. Is it possible to make the mousse mixture the night before and then assemble it the next day to save some time?
Hi Jo-Ann – you could make the mousse the night before and make sure it stays very chilled, no problem.
IN THE COOKIES AND CREAM RECIPE, #2 IT SAYS, DO NOT OVERHEAT, OR IT WILL BECOME THICK AND CLUMPY! NOT SURE WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT! THERE’S NO COOKING, SO HOW CAN YOU OVERHEAT IT? JUST MY MISUNDERSTANDING!!??!!
Hi Rena – you are correct, there is no cooking involved. But when you use an electric mixer to beat the cream, it causes friction and heat, and if you beat longer than necessary it can cause the cream mixture to “overheat” and become clumpy. Hope that clarifies it for you!
I love serving parfaits for dessert!! You can’t go wrong with cookies and cream!! Thanks!!
It’s barely 10am and I’m already craving dessert. How do you do this to me!? These pretty little things look AMAZING! Perfect for parties or just to have ready for a late night snack!
