Black & White Parfaits for a Party

These layered chocolate and white chocolate parfaits are a delicious mini party dessert.

I love mini desserts! Especially when they’re part of a larger offering such as a sweets table, or a dessert sampler platter.

These mini black & white parfaits are served in shot glasses, or glass votive holders. And they’re just the right size so you don’t feel guilty about having one…or three. Plus they leave you room to try other desserts too!

This mini dessert recipe is so easy and delicious. It has rich milk chocolate combined with layers of sweet cream and white chocolate for a winning treat for both children and grownups alike. You can make them a day ahead and cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to set them out.

PARTY TIP: If you want to make this dessert in a larger format, it’s easy to do. Just put the layers in a larger glass serving dish. Or you could make larger parfaits using wine glasses or martini glasses as the vessel.

Think about adding any of these singe size desserts when you’re designing dessert tables for a party.

This recipe is very adaptable to serving more people. You can make more or less depending on how many brownies or cupcakes you use. And you can easily double the cream layer to make more parfaits.
