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.

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!

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!
