Mini Wafer Parfait Recipes

Steps:

• In medium bowl, beat whipping cream and vanilla with electric mixer on high speed until soft peaks form (thick, but cream still falls onto itself). Refrigerate.
• In large bowl, beat pumpkin pie mix and cream cheese with electric mixer on medium speed until blended. Add powdered sugar; beat until well combined. Taste for sweetness and if necessary, add more powdered sugar.
• Gently fold half of the whipped cream into pumpkin mixture.
• To assemble parfaits in plastic cups, layer crushed cookies, pumpkin mixture and plain whipped cream. To garnish, top each with whipped cream and 1 piece of white chocolate. Store in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Beat the cream cheese, 3 tablespoons heavy cream and 5 tablespoons sugar in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract and the lemon juice and zest. Beat until light and creamy, about 3 minutes.
• Whisk together the remaining 1 cup heavy cream, 3 tablespoons sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract and the sour cream in a large bowl with a handheld electric mixer (or a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment) on high speed until soft peaks form.
• Add a layer of crushed graham crackers to the bottom of each parfait glass. Top the graham crackers with a layer of the cheesecake, then a layer of fruit (see Cook's Note). Top each parfait with a dollop of the whipped cream and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 16 muffin tin cups with cupcake liners.
• Place 1 cookie in the bottom of each cupcake liner.
• Beat cream cheese and sugar together in a medium bowl using an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in eggs and vanilla extract until smooth. Pour batter over the wafers in the cupcake liners.
• Bake in the preheated oven until golden and set, about 15 minutes.
