Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 ½ cups of graham cracker crumbs with 5 tablespoons of melted butter. Mix until the crumbs are evenly coated and crumbly.
- Spoon about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into the bottom of each clear cup, pressing down lightly to create a solid base.
- In a large mixing bowl, beat 8 ounces of softened cream cheese with ½ cup of powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- Add in 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and mix well. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the cream cheese mixture.
- Divide the cheesecake filling into two bowls. In one bowl, add a few drops of orange food coloring and mix until well combined. In the other bowl, add green food coloring and stir until the color is even.
- Begin layering your parfait cups by adding a generous dollop of the orange cheesecake filling on top of the graham cracker base. Follow with another layer of the crunchy base, then add a layer of the green cheesecake filling.
- Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a colorful cheesecake layer on top for a stunning presentation.
- Top each parfait with a swirl of whipped cream, then sprinkle with Halloween-themed sprinkles. Add candy eyes on top and place a few gummy worms for that spooky touch.
- Place the assembled parfait cups in the refrigerator and let them chill for at least 2 hours.

Notes
Allow parfaits to sit at room temperature for 10–15 minutes before serving to enhance the creamy texture.
