Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 8 oz dark chocolate (70% cacao), chopped
  • 1 ½ cups cold heavy whipping cream
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 cup crushed chocolate sandwich cookies (about 8 cookies)
  • Chocolate shavings, for topping (optional)

Method
 

  1. Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl over simmering water, then set aside to cool for 5 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whip the cold cream and vanilla with a hand mixer until soft peaks form, about 2 to 3 minutes.
  3. Fold the cooled melted chocolate into the whipped cream gently until no streaks remain.
  4. Layer crushed cookies and chocolate mousse in four glasses, finish with a dollop of whipped cream and chocolate shavings, and chill for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

The parfaits need at least 1 hour in the fridge to set; you can make them up to a day ahead. The cookie layer will soften over time, but the contrast of textures remains delicious.
