Ingredients
  

For the Mousse

  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips rich base for creamy mousse
  • 1 cup heavy cream whipped to perfection

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • In a heatproof bowl, place 1 cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips over a saucepan of simmering water. Stir gently until smooth, about 5-7 minutes. Let cool slightly.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form, about 5 minutes. Reserve half for topping later.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk 2 large eggs and ¼ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes.
  • Gradually fold the melted chocolate into the egg and sugar mixture until fully combined.
  • Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream into the chocolate mixture until no streaks remain.
  • Layer your parfaits in serving glasses with chocolate mousse, strawberry puree, and crumbled chocolate cake.
  • Top with reserved whipped cream and a sprinkle of powdered sugar.
  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.

Notes

Keep serving glasses chilled for a better experience. Watch for soft peaks when whipping cream to avoid grainy texture. Choose quality chocolate for best flavor.
