Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup of decadent lava cookies or your favorite brownies, chopped into small pieces
- 8 oz (about 225g) cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup sour cream
- Fresh berries or fruit (optional for topping)
- Granulated sugar (optional, for sweeter cream)
Instructions
- Start by beating the softened cream cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture until well combined. Optionally, add sour cream for a tangy twist.
- Chop the brownies into small, bite-sized pieces. Optional: microwave them briefly if warm brownies are preferred.
- In clear glasses or jars, layer brownie pieces at the bottom, add a layer of cheesecake filling, and repeat until full. Finish with a layer of cheesecake on top.
- Garnish with fresh berries, fruit, or drizzle with chocolate or caramel sauce if desired.
Notes
- Use high-quality cream cheese for a richer flavor.
- Chill the assembled parfaits for at least 1 hour before serving to enhance flavor and texture.
