Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, beat 8 oz softened cream cheese with 3/4 cup granulated sugar and 1 tsp vanilla extract until smooth and creamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Step 2: In a separate chilled bowl, whip 1 cup cold heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks, then gently fold into the cream cheese mixture until fully combined and fluffy.
  3. Step 3: For the edible cookie dough, combine 1/2 cup heat-treated all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, 6 tbsp melted unsalted butter, and 1/3 cup mini chocolate chips in a bowl. Mix until dough forms.
  4. Step 4: To assemble, spoon 2 tbsp graham cracker crumbs into each serving glass, then layer 2 tbsp of the cream cheese filling followed by 1 tbsp of cookie dough. Repeat layers once more.
  5. Step 5: Chill parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours until set and chilled before serving.
