  The Recipe: Midnight Mint Oreo Parfaits
  Yields: 4 large or 6 small parfaits

Ingredients

The Crunch:

20 Mint Oreo cookies (crushed into chunky crumbs)

2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted (optional, for a richer base)

The Mint Cloud:

8 oz (1 block) cream cheese, softened

½ cup powdered sugar

1 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, cold

1 teaspoon peppermint extract (start with less and adjust; it’s strong!)

1 drop green food coloring (optional, for a soft pastel mint hue)

½ cup mini semi-sweet chocolate chips

The Topping:

Extra crushed Oreos

Fresh mint leaves

Whole Mint Oreos for garnish

Instructions

The Base: Toss the crushed Oreos with melted butter in a small bowl. This creates a “crust” texture at the bottom. Spoon two tablespoons into each glass and press down gently.

The Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

The Filling: In a separate bowl, beat the softened cream cheese and powdered sugar until completely smooth. Stir in the peppermint extract and green food coloring.

The Fold: Gently fold the whipped cream and mini chocolate chips into the cream cheese mixture. This keeps the parfait light and airy rather than dense.

The Layering: Using a piping bag or a spoon, add a layer of the mint cream over the cookies. Add another layer of cookie crumbs, followed by one final layer of cream.

Chill: Let the parfaits set in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. This softens the cookies just enough so they melt into the cream.
