Hellooooooooooo my Sweets! What are your plans for this Beautiful Saturday? It is a little chiller than yesterday, but you know what don't let that stop the fun! So do you do anything special on Saturdays? I know one of my favorite things to do is to spend time with 3 very special people that are always close to my heart. And they are great at tasting whatever comes out of my Kitchen, one of my favorite phrases to hear is, that was so good, I'm stuffed, stuffed like a turkey!
With them in mind, I thought what can I make that will get the oh so famously funny phrase? Not to mention I had a craving for chocolate, which does happen from time to time. I admit it, I am a chocoaholic! Something about that Coco that makes me go mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. Then it came to me a Chocolate Parfait! Its Yummy, and fulfilling, and quick and easy!
Ok, so now if your wondering what exactly to add to your parfait to make it a chocolate dream. If you want you can just make a vanilla, chocolate layer pudding parfait, but like I always say where is the fun it that! When I decide to make one, I kinda take inspiration from that episode of Friends where Rachel had a messed up cook book and made this crazy mixture that only joey would eat. Now that doesn't mean I'm adding meat or anything crazy like she did, just that I plan on layering it up! Using the imagination is always fun and I feel a very huggeeee key ingredient to an tummy pleasing parfait. There is no wrong way, however heres the way I decided to get crazy and feed my addiction!
Take a glass, any kind will do, and have it ready to go. Next get your pudding ready, choose any method you want. Already made pudding cups, or make your own. And unlike someone I know who says the only good pudding is cooked over the stove, there is no wrong way to making your own pudding. You can cook it or use instant. Be careful if you decide to cook it, it can burn and have a very icky taste, and we don't want that in our goody! You can make as many flavors as you want really, today I chose just 2! Chocolate, and Cheesecake. I can already hear you knocking on my door asking for some!
So after your pudding is ready, decide what you want in your treat, or which layer is which! You can make this just pudding alone, or you can add graham crackers, nuts even fruit to give it a little something extra. Why not get a little crazy like me and add things! I like to start off by crushing up some graham crackers ( for extra chocolaty taste go with chocolate graham crackers) and sprinkle it on the bottom of your cup, take some chocolate pudding and add a smooth layer over the graham cracker. Then add some of the cheesecake or whatever flavor you decided to go with. Add a quick dollop of whip cream, then repeat process, and top off with whip cream and a cherry, maybe sprinkle some coco powder over the top! The more layers you go the thinner the layer should be or bigger the cup, its up to you how exactly you want your parfait to look. Just remember the fun part is trying to get a little of all the layers on your spoon to have a party in your mouth.
Tonights sweet treat, is going to be the perfect snack when I cuddle up with my lucky three and watch NBA All Star Weekend! If your craving a little chocolate like me, and want to try this parfait your always welcome to try the creations that come out of my laboratory. Till Tomorrow My Sweets....
Happy Baking from Bradley Sweets.
