Grasshopper Parfaits

This Grasshopper Parfait recipe is a fun twist on Grasshopper Pie and is really easy to make, but looks so fancy. Keep it kid friendly or make an adult version with Creme De Menthe. Either way, it is rich, creamy, quick, no-bake, and crazy delicious!

Ingredients

15 whole mint green Oreo cookies
2/3 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup powdered sugar , divided
8 ounce package cream cheese , softened
2 tablespoons whole milk

Instructions

Place the Oreo cookies in a food processor and pulse several times until crumbs form. Set aside.
In a large bowl, beat heavy cream with an electric mixer until it starts to thicken; slowly add in 1/4 cup of the powdered sugar. Continue to mix until thickened and stiff peaks form. (Do not overheat or it will become thick and clumpy.) Pour into a bowl; set aside.
In the same bowl (no need to rinse out), beat the cream cheese until smooth. Continue mixing and add in the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar and milk. Beat until well combined.
With a spatula, gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture, until just combined.
Alternate the cheesecake mousse with the cookie crumbs in small tumbler glasses. Continue layering depending on the size of your glasses.
Serve right away or chill for later and enjoy!

Notes

Use regular Oreos. Replace the mint oreos with regular ones and add in 1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract and a couple drops of green food coloring.

Try Thin Mints! Ditch the Oreos entirely and use Girl Scout Thin Mints

Make it boozy. Use creme de menthe liqueur for an adult version.
