Ingredients

  • 8 oz package cream cheese softened
  • 7 oz jar of marshmallow creme or fluff
  • 16 oz Cool Whip thawed
  • vanilla wafer cookies crushed
  • 3 cups sweet cherries pitted
  • handful of sliced almonds
  • grated dark chocolate for garnish (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Add vanilla wafers to a large resealable plastic bag and seal. Using a rolling pin or heavy pan, crush cooking until they are in small, pea sized pieces.
  2. Add a sprinkle of crushed cookies to the bottom of stemless wine glasses or whichever containers you're serving the parfait in.
  3. Sprinkle a few sliced almonds over the top of the cookies, and set aside.
  4. To a large mixing bowl, add cream cheese and marshmallow creme. Using a hand mixer, beat together until well combined.
  5. Use a rubber spatula to fold in thawed cool whip.
  6. Spoon mixture into a large piping bag fitted with any decorating tip you desire.
  7. Pipe in a layer of cheesecake filling and top with a handful of sweet cherries.
  8. Repeat with crushed cookies, almonds, cheesecake and cherries until glasses are full.
  9. Garnish with a few extra sliced almonds and a bit of grated dark chocolate.
  10. Serve chilled.

Notes

  • If you'd prefer a dip instead of parfaits, spread the crushed vanilla wafers in the bottom of a 9x13" pan, sprinkle almonds over the top, and gently top with cheesecake filling. Top cheesecake with cherries (whole or chopped), a sprinkle of almonds, and some grated dark chocolate. Serve chilled.
