FAQs
How long can you keep a parfait in the fridge?
Divide the parfait into four airtight containers and store them in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. Add toppings just before indulging to maintain freshness.
What is no-bake cheesecake filling made of?
A no-bake cheesecake filling skips eggs and sets in the fridge. It typically comprises condensed milk, cream cheese, sugar, and flavoring, resulting in a mousse-like texture distinct from an oven-baked cheesecake.
Can I make parfaits in advance?
Absolutely! Prepare the parfaits following the recipe instructions up to refrigeration. Let the cheesecake mixture set up in the refrigerator overnight, and add the finishing touch with cherry pie filling before serving. These delightful treats last 2-3 days in the refrigerator, uncovered.
