Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups Golden Grahams cereal
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup hot fudge sauce (store-bought or homemade)
Chocolate Elements:
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
Flavoring:
- 1 teaspoon (1 tsp) vanilla extract
Instructions
- Arrange all necessary ingredients within easy reach on the kitchen workspace.
- Whip the heavy cream with vanilla extract using an electric mixer until it develops soft, billowy peaks, approximately 3-5 minutes at medium speed.
- Gently heat the hot fudge sauce in a small saucepan over low temperature, stirring consistently until it becomes silky smooth.
- Incorporate chocolate chips into the warm fudge sauce, continuously stirring until they completely melt and create a rich, glossy texture.
- Select clear serving glasses or decorative bowls for assembling the parfait.
- Create alternating layers by first adding a base of Golden Grahams, followed by a generous drizzle of melted chocolate fudge sauce.
- Carefully spread a layer of freshly whipped cream over the fudge and graham cracker base.
- Repeat the layering process, ensuring each component is evenly distributed for a visually appealing and delicious dessert.
- Crown the parfait with a final flourish of hot fudge sauce and sprinkle additional Golden Grahams on top for extra crunch and texture.
- Present the parfait immediately to maintain the whipped cream’s light consistency and the graham crackers’ crisp quality.
Notes
- Whip cream at cool room temperature for fluffier, more stable peaks that hold shape longer during layering.
- Melt chocolate chips gradually to prevent burning, stirring constantly for silky smooth texture and even distribution.
- Slightly crush Golden Grahams before layering to create better texture and ensure more compact, stable parfait structure.
- Chill serving glasses beforehand to keep layers firm and prevent rapid melting, especially in warm environments.
