The Ingredients
- 4 ea. Greyston Bakery Chocolate Fudge Brownies
- 1 qt. Strawberries, hulled and sliced
- 1 pt. Heavy Whipping Cream
- ½ C. Powdered Sugar
- 1 ea. Dark Chocolate Bar
The Process
Step One: Begin by layering sliced strawberries in the bottom and up the sides of a clear glass cup or jar. This sets the stage and creates a beautiful visual effect while adding a refreshing burst of flavor to the dessert.
Step Two: In a mixer, whip heavy cream with powdered sugar until peaks form. This step is essential to create a light, airy texture for the parfait. No mixer? No problem! Before you grab the cool whip, whipping cream by hand is a great option if you don't have a stand mixer or hand mixer. All you need is a whisk, a bowl, and a little bit of patience. If you're making this with a partner or family, you can take turns whipping. There's something very satisfying about whipping cream by hand. It's a workout, but the end result is satisfying and enjoyable. You'll feel a sense of accomplishment knowing you made the whipped cream entirely by hand!
Step Three: Carefully spoon whipped cream on top of the strawberries until your desired height is reached. This layer of whipped cream provides a smooth and creamy base for the brownie pieces to sit on.
Step Four: Cube brownies into small, bite-sized pieces. Layer on top of the whipped cream. This layer of brownies is the star of the show, adding a rich and decadent flavor to the dessert.
Step Five: Add another dollop of whipped cream on top of the brownie pieces, ensuring that the brownies are fully covered. This layer of whipped cream helps to balance the flavors of the dessert and adds to its creamy texture.
Step Six: Grate the dark chocolate bar on top of the whipped cream. This final step adds a touch of sophistication and an extra layer of richness to the dessert.
These treats can be enjoyed immediately or stored in the refrigerator for up to six hours, lightly covered with plastic wrap. Like all of our recipes, this is completely customizable. Feel free to experiment with different Greyston brownies or blondies, fruits, nuts, or mini chocolate chips. You can even try substituting your favorite pudding mixture instead of using whipped cream or add both!
