Ingredients
Scale
Fruits
- 1 cup fresh raspberries
Chocolate
- 1/2 cup chocolate chunks or shavings
Dairy
- 1 cup whipped cream or vanilla/mascarpone custard
Other
- 1/2 cup chocolate cookies or cake crumbs (optional)
- 1/2 cup raspberry jam or compote
Instructions
- Prepare the base layer: Spoon raspberry jam or compote evenly at the bottom of your serving glasses to form the flavorful base.
- Add texture layer: Sprinkle chocolate cake crumbs or cookie crumbs over the jam to introduce a crunchy texture that contrasts with the creamy layers.
- Layer cream: Pipe or spoon a generous layer of whipped cream or vanilla custard on top of the crumbs, creating a smooth and rich middle layer.
- Garnish: Add fresh raspberries and chocolate chunks on top for a beautiful and tasty garnish that highlights the dessert’s flavors.
- Repeat layers: If desired, repeat the layering steps to build a taller parfait, finishing with a swirl of whipped cream, some extra chocolate pieces, and a few raspberries on top for a polished presentation.
Notes
- Use mascarpone custard for a creamier texture with a slight tang.
- Chocolate cake crumbs add a moist texture compared to cookie crumbs which are crunchier.
- Can be made ahead and chilled for 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
- For added depth, drizzle a little raspberry liqueur or syrup between layers.
- Use dark chocolate chunks for more intense chocolate flavor.
