RECIPE: Cookies & Cream Parfaits

COOKIES & CREAM PARFAITS

(recipe via thecozyapron.com)

INGREDIENTS
16 fl oz whipping cream, cold
2 tablespoons sugar
2 (16 ounce) tubs all natural Belgian chocolate pudding
24 Oreos
A few squares of chocolate to garnish

METHOD

1. Using a mixer (or hand-held), whip the cream until thickened slightly. Sprinkle in the sugar and finish whipping just until stiff peaks form.

2. In a medium-large bowl, add 2 cups of the chocolate pudding (set aside the rest) and begin adding in the whipped cream in increments, gently folding in to keep a fluffy, light consistency. Once all whipped cream is incorporated, set aside. This is the chocolate mousse.

To Assemble (6 servings) -

3. Add about 3 tablespoons of crushed cookies to the bottom of each glass. Next add a layer of chocolate pudding, then a layer of the chocolate mousse. Repeat this process with another layer of cookies, then the pudding, then the mousse. Finish with a sprinkling of crushed cookies and a dollop of chocolate mousse. Garnish by shaving a little of the chocolate square.

4. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
