No-Bake Halloween Cheesecake (Printer-Friendly Version)

Creamy cheesecake and crunchy cookie layers topped with festive candy for a fun autumn treat.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Cheesecake Layer

01 - 225 grams softened cream cheese
02 - 125 grams powdered sugar
03 - 5 milliliters vanilla extract
04 - 240 milliliters heavy whipping cream

→ Cookie Crumble

05 - 120 grams graham cracker crumbs
06 - 57 grams melted butter

→ Topping

07 - Candy corn, as desired
08 - Chocolate shavings, as desired
09 - Whipped cream, for garnish

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - In a bowl, beat the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined, creating a light and airy filling.
02 - Combine graham cracker crumbs and melted butter in a bowl, stirring until the mixture resembles wet sand and the crumbs are fully coated. Set aside for layering.
03 - In clear cups or jars, layer approximately 2 tablespoons of cookie crumble followed by 3 tablespoons of cheesecake filling. Repeat layers until cups are nearly full, leaving space for toppings.
04 - Top each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream and scatter candy corn and chocolate shavings to decorate in seasonal style.
05 - Cover parfaits with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 120 minutes to allow layers to set and flavors to meld before serving.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - For the best texture, ensure cream cheese is softened before mixing. Chill parfaits at least 2 hours for optimal layering and flavor development.
