Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams semisweet chocolate chips
- 360 milliliters heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 150 grams crushed chocolate cookies
- 30 grams dark chocolate shavings
- 100 grams fresh raspberries (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium heatproof bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips over a double boiler or in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth. Allow the melted chocolate to cool slightly.
In a large mixing bowl, whip 240 milliliters of heavy cream with sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Fold half of the whipped cream into the melted chocolate to create a chocolate mousse. Set aside the remaining whipped cream for layering.
To assemble the parfaits, begin by layering a heaping spoonful of crushed chocolate cookies at the bottom of each serving glass or dessert cup.
Add a layer of chocolate mousse, followed by a layer of whipped cream. Repeat the layering process until the glasses are filled, ending with a dollop of whipped cream on top.
Sprinkle dark chocolate shavings over the top layer of whipped cream and garnish with fresh raspberries, if desired.
Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1 hour to set before serving. Serve chilled.
