Level Up Your Chocolate Parfait Game
Have you been looking for ways to level up your dessert game? Look no further than National Chocolate Parfait Day on May 1st! A chocolate parfait is a classic treat, but it can also be so much more. Let’s explore some of the different types of ingredients that you can add to your parfait to make it truly special.
Fruit and Nuts
Fruit and nuts are a great way to add some texture and flavor to your parfait. Try adding fresh berries like strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries for a pop of color and sweetness. Or opt for dried fruit like raisins, cranberries, or apricots if you’re feeling adventurous. And don’t forget about the nuts! Almonds, walnuts, and pecans all pair nicely with chocolate and make for an interesting crunch.
Cereal and Granola
Love cereal? Why not add it to your parfait? Use cereal as a layer between your chocolate pudding or mousse and the other ingredients in your parfait. Anything from corn flakes to fruity pebbles will work! If you want an extra crunchy layer, opt for granola instead. The possibilities are endless when it comes to granola—you can find combinations with almonds, oats, pumpkin seeds, honey…the list goes on!
Ice Cream and Cookies
If you’re looking for something extra indulgent in your parfait then ice cream is the way to go. Layer some scoops of vanilla ice cream between the other layers in your parfait for an added coolness that pairs perfectly with the warmth of melted chocolate. For an even sweeter treat, add some crushed up cookies such as Oreos or gingersnaps into the mix too!
