- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate, melted
- 1 cup chocolate cookies, crumbled
- ½ cup chocolate syrup
- Fresh mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
Cooking Instructions
- Whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until it starts to thicken.
- Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, then whip until stiff peaks form. You’ve got whipped cream, congratulations!
- Gently fold in the melted chocolate until well combined. Try not to eat it all before you assemble the parfaits.

- Finish with a flourish of crumbled cookies and an optional sprig of fresh mint. Voilà! Dessert bliss!
Suggestions
- Alternative ingredients: Swap the semi-sweet chocolate for dark chocolate if you’re feeling mysterious. Use gluten-free cookies if that’s your jam.
- Garnishing options: Add a sprinkle of sea salt or some cocoa powder dusting. Feeling nutty? Throw in some chopped nuts!
- Cooking tips: Make sure your mixing bowl is cold when whipping the cream. It’s one of those things that sound fussy but makes a world of difference.
