  • Cooking method: No-bake
  • Prep time: 20 minutes
  • Cuisine type: Dessert

Ingredients

  • 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

  1. Whip the heavy cream with a hand mixer until it starts to thicken.
  2. Add the granulated sugar and vanilla extract, then whip until stiff peaks form. You’ve got whipped cream, congratulations!
  3. Gently fold in the melted chocolate until well combined. Try not to eat it all before you assemble the parfaits.
  4. In serving glasses, layer crumbled chocolate cookies, a generous drizzle of chocolate syrup, and then a hefty dollop of chocolate whipped cream. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the glass.
  5. 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.
