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.
