How to Make Irresistible No-Bake Brownie Cheesecake Parfait

Making this delicious parfait is simple and fun. Just follow these easy steps!

Ingredients

8 oz cream cheese, softened
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 tsp vanilla extract
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup heavy cream (for ganache)
1/4 cup butter
1 1/4 cups mini dark chocolate chips
1/4 cup toasted coconut
1/4 cup coarsely chopped nuts
Store-bought or homemade brownies, cut into cubes

Directions

Make the Ganache: In a small saucepan, melt the butter and 1/2 cup of cream together over low heat. Stir in 3/4 cup of chocolate chips until the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat and let cool. Stir in the remaining chocolate chips to add texture.
Cheesecake Filling: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, mix the softened cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture.
Toast Coconut: Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Spread the coconut on a baking sheet and toast it in the oven until golden, about 5-10 minutes. Keep an eye on it to prevent burning. Once toasted, let it cool.
Assemble Parfaits: In clear glasses or dessert cups, start layering. Begin with a layer of cheesecake filling, followed by some ganache, and then add cubes of brownie. Repeat these layers until the glasses are full. Top with toasted coconut, chopped nuts, and some extra chocolate chips.
Chill & Serve: Cover and refrigerate the parfaits for 3-5 hours or overnight before serving. This helps all the flavors blend together.

Tips to Make Irresistible No-Bake Brownie Cheesecake Parfait

Variation
