Ingredients
Ingredients
- 8 ounces cream cheese, softened at room temperature
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 6 tablespoons coffee-flavored syrup as an alternative to Kahlua
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 cups mixed fresh berries such as strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries
- Chocolate shavings or cocoa powder for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Prepare the Cream Cheese Mixture - Start by placing the softened cream cheese in a mixing bowl. Add the granulated sugar and use an electric mixer to beat the mixture until it is creamy and smooth.
- Step 2: Fold in the Heavy Cream - In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture using a spatula.
- Step 3: Add the Coffee Flavored Syrup and Cocoa Powder - Add the coffee-flavored syrup and unsweetened cocoa powder to the cream cheese and whipped cream mixture. Carefully fold until well combined.
- Step 4: Prepare the Berries - Wash your mixed berries thoroughly under cold water. Pat them dry and set aside. Slice the strawberries if they are large.
- Step 5: Layer the Parfait - In serving glasses, start by adding a layer of the chocolate mousse mixture, followed by a layer of mixed berries. Repeat until glasses are full.
- Step 6: Chill and Serve - Cover the parfaits with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Garnish with chocolate shavings or cocoa powder before serving.
