With Valentine’s Day just a few days away, I wanted to share a dessert that you could make in a snap, as well as something that would not feed an army! As much as we all love dessert, sometimes you just don’t want to have a ton of leftover sweets tempting you. And I hate to admit it…I still have some cookies from Christmas in the freezer!
These parfaits blend some of my favorite flavors together: chocolate, orange and cheesecake! They taste so good you won’t believe how easy they are to make…it’s kind of a cheat recipe, using cheesecake pudding and pie filling and orange Milano cookies, but that can be your little secret!
Place cookies into a small resealable plastic bag. Using a mallet or rolling pin, crush cookies; set aside.
In a large chilled bowl, place the whipping cream, orange juice and cheesecake pudding and pie filling.

Using 2 (8-ounce) martini glasses, begin layering the parfaits.
Place about 1/2 tablespoon of the crushed cookies into the bottom of the glasses, top with 1 teaspoon fudge sauce, top with 1/3 cup cheesecake mixture, then 1 tablespoon crushed cookies, 1 tablespoon of the fudge, 2/3 cup cheesecake mixture, then remaining crushed cookies.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
