Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 oz Semi-sweet chocolate
- 2 cups Milk
- 3 tbsp Granulated sugar
- 2 tbsp Cornstarch
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- 3 tbsp Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp Powdered sugar
- 10 pieces Chocolate cookies
- 2 tbsp Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, melt the semi-sweet chocolate over low heat, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 2: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup of milk with the cornstarch until smooth. Set aside.
Step 3: Gradually add the remaining milk, granulated sugar, and melted chocolate to the saucepan. Stir constantly over medium heat.
Step 4: Once the mixture is slightly warm, add the cornstarch mixture. Cook and stir continuously until the mixture thickens to a pudding-like consistency (about 8-10 minutes).
Step 5: Remove the pudding from heat, then stir in the vanilla extract and Kahlua liqueur. Let the pudding cool to room temperature.
Step 6: In a chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream and powdered sugar together using an electric hand mixer until soft peaks form.
Step 7: Crush the chocolate cookies into coarse crumbs. Set aside.
Step 8: Assemble the parfaits by layering the chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and crushed cookies in individual serving glasses. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled.
Step 9: Top each parfait with a dollop of whipped cream and sprinkle dark chocolate shavings on top for garnish (optional).
Step 10: Chill the assembled parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
