Black Forest Parfait

Recipe, An Easy No-Bake Dessert

A parfait recipe is the perfect single-serve dessert when you don’t want the temptation of eating more than you’d like when it comes to sweet treats. This black forest parfait combines the flavours of the classic American-style German cake, cherry, chocolate, and cream, in a no-bake, layered glass that can be fixed in about twenty minutes. The whipped cream cheese mousse is tinted pink and flavoured with cherry syrup and chopped cherries, and it is layered with a crushed chocolate cookie crumble made using Sunfeast Dark Fantasy Choco Fills. This parfait recipe is quite easy to make, and the perfect option when you want something that looks like a dream, something fancy, yet needs no oven time at all. The chocolate crumble is made first by crushing the Sunfeast Dark Fantasy Choco Fills and mixing them with a little melted butter and salt. Then the mousse is made by beating the cream cheese, and the cherry syrup goes in. Whipping cream is made separately and folded into the cream cheese for a light and airy mousse. This parfait recipe is perfect for layering in a parfait glass or a short rocks glass. The assembly is quite simple as well: start with half the chocolate crumble, then add the mousse, then repeat for a second layer of each. The mousse can be layered with a spoon if you don’t mind messiness, but piping it from a piping bag gives neater, more even layers. Consider the piping bit if you are serving the parfaits to guests or for a special occasion.
