Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams dark chocolate chips
- 500 ml heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 8 pieces chocolate cookies
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
Place the dark chocolate chips in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat 250 ml of heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to steam, but do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chocolate chips and let sit for 2 minutes. Stir gently until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
Crush the chocolate cookies into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a sealed bag and rolling over with a rolling pin.
Melt the unsalted butter and mix it with the cookie crumbs until the texture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 250 ml of heavy cream with ground cinnamon, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
To assemble the parfaits, start by spooning a layer of the cookie mixture into the bottom of 4 serving glasses. Gently press down to form an even layer.
Add a layer of the chocolate mousse over the cookie crumbs, followed by a layer of the cinnamon whipped cream. Repeat these layers until the glass is full, ending with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Optional: Garnish with a sprinkle of crushed cookie crumbs or a cinnamon stick for presentation.
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set and the flavors to meld together.
