Ingredients  

  • Red candy melts
  • Red sprinkles
  • 2 (8-oz.) packages cream cheese
  • 3 Tablespoons heavy cream
  • 5 Tablespoons sugar
  • 2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 1/2 teaspoons lemon zest
  • 1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
  • 1 1/2 cups crushed red velvet cookies (See Kelly’s Note)
  • 1 1/2 cups blueberries
  • 1 cup store-bought or homemade whipped cream

Equipment:

  • Piping bag or sealable plastic bag

Instructions 

  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Melt the candy melts according to the package instructions then pipe them into the shapes of stars with a 1 1/2-inch line coming off the bottom of each star. (This will serve as the piece that sticks into the whipped cream.) Immediately sprinkle the stars with the sprinkles before the candy melt sets. Set the stars aside or refrigerate them until they’ve fully hardened.
  • In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat together the cream cheese, heavy cream, sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy. Transfer the mixture into a piping bag or sealable plastic bag.
  • Add a layer of the crushed cookies to each serving glass. Pipe a layer of the cheesecake filling on top of the cookies, then top the cheesecake with a layer of blueberries and a dollop of whipped cream.
  • Using an offset spatula, carefully release each candy melt star from the baking sheet. Top each parfait with a candy melt star and serve immediately.

Kelly’s Note:

  • Red Velvet Oreos are my go-to for this recipe, but any other red-colored cookie works.
