Chocolate Mousse Parfait with Fresh Berries
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 8 ounces semisweet chocolate, chopped
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup fresh berries (such as strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- In a small saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream over medium heat until it begins to simmer, then remove from heat.
- Add the chopped semisweet chocolate to the hot cream and let it sit for 2 minutes to melt, then stir until smooth. Let the mixture cool to room temperature.
- In a large bowl, whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream with 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the cooled chocolate mixture into the whipped cream until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, toss the fresh berries with 1/4 cup of powdered sugar until coated.
- To assemble the parfaits, spoon a layer of chocolate mousse into the bottom of each serving glass, then add a layer of the sugared berries. Repeat the layers, finishing with a dollop of chocolate mousse on top.
- Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the mousse to set and the flavors to meld.
- Garnish with additional fresh berries before serving, if desired. Enjoy!
