Instructions

  • Crush the bag of Mini Oreo's and fill the bottom of the Parfait glasses with the Cookie Crumbs. Set aside.

  • Place the Red Cheesecake Batter next to the White Batter in a long Ribbon on the Plastic Wrap.
  • Roll the wrap up around the Cheesecake and fold the ends up.
  • Cut off one end of the plastic wrap, and place the Plastic Wrap in a Pastry Bag with tip, and pipe into Parfait glasses, on top of Cookie Crumbs, in a swirling motion, coming up to a point at the top of the glass.
