Parfait Ingredients

Cheesecake Filling: I used the cheesecake filling recipe from my no-bake cheesecake for my parfaits.

Crust: You can buy graham cracker crumbs to use for the crust. Or, you could crush sheets of graham crackers. You will need about 11 full sheets of graham crackers for 2 cups of crumbs.

Cherry Pie Filling: I used cherry pie filling for a classic cherry cheesecake flavor. You can easily substitute this for a variety of your favorite cheesecake toppings, and I will give a few suggestions below!

What Size Parfait Cup Should I use?

This is ultimately up to you to decide! For this recipe, I used my one-cup parfait cups and it made 8 individual parfaits. The approximate amounts of filling per cup given in the recipe below reflect that. Whatever size parfait cup or short glass you have on hand should work just as well, just be sure that you are evenly dividing your crust, filling, and topping.

Cherry Pie Filling Substitutes

If you are not in the mood for cherry, you can easily change up your no-bake cheesecake parfait toppings.

Can I Make Parfaits in Advance?

If you are making them ahead of time, follow all of the recipe instructions up to refrigerating the parfait. Simply allow the cheesecake mixture to set up in the refrigerator overnight*, and top with the cherry pie filling before serving. These last 2-3 days in the refrigerator, uncovered. 

*You can also top the parfaits with cherry filling immediately after adding the cheesecake filling, but it may bleed together a bit. It will not affect the flavor.
