Method
 

How to Make Cheesecake Parfait
  1. Pulse graham crackers in a food processor until finely ground; reserve crumbs.
  2. With softened cream cheese and sugar in a bowl, beat on high speed until smooth and no sugar granules remain.
  3. Pour in heavy cream while scraping down the bowl; blend until fully combined. Begin on low speed and steadily increase.
  4. Continue beating until the mixture is thick and lump-free, roughly 1 minute, scraping the bowl at least once.
How to Assemble No Bake Cheesecake Parfaits
  1. Place 2 full tbsp of the crushed graham cracker crumbs into each cup as the bottom layer.
  2. Transfer the cream mixture into a 16-inch pastry bag and pipe it into each cup until about 3/4 full.
  3. Spoon cherry pie filling over each cup until it reaches the rim.
  4. Place one canned cherry with stem on top of each parfait.
  5. Chill for at least 1 hour prior to serving; may be prepared up to 1 day in advance.
