Description
A delicious and easy-to-make dessert that combines whipped cream, crushed chocolate sandwich cookies, and a delightful presentation.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 package chocolate sandwich cookies
- 2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Chocolate shavings or chips (for garnish)
- Whole cookies (for garnish on top)
Instructions
- Prepare the Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, pour the heavy whipping cream. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract. Beat the mixture using an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form.
- Crush the Cookies: Take the chocolate sandwich cookies and place them in a plastic zip-top bag. Use a rolling pin or a heavy object to crush the cookies into fine crumbs. Set aside a few whole cookies for garnishing.
- Assembly: In a serving glass, begin by adding a layer of whipped cream at the bottom. Sprinkle a generous layer of the crushed cookies over the whipped cream. Repeat the layers until the glass is almost full, ending with a layer of whipped cream.
- Garnish: Add chocolate shavings or chips on top. Place a whole chocolate sandwich cookie on the top for decoration.
- Chill: Refrigerate the parfait for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a layer of chocolate pudding or vanilla yogurt.
- To enhance texture, toast the cookie crumbs in a dry skillet over low heat before layering.
- Serve the parfait cold for the best taste and texture.
- Experiment with different flavors of sandwich cookies for variety.
