Yield Makes 8

Number Of Ingredients 17

3 ounces bittersweet chocolate
1/2 cup plus 1/3 cup heavy cream
1 large egg yolk
1 large whole egg
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon light corn syrup
2 tablespoons water
1 bunch (3 1/4 ounces) fresh mint leaves and stems
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 teaspoons dried mint
2 tablespoons water
4 large egg yolks
1 large whole egg
2 cups heavy cream
Chocolate Sauce, for garnish
Sugared mint leaves, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Make the chocolate mixture: Place chocolate in a medium heat-proof bowl. Heat 1/2 cup heavy cream in a small saucepan, and pour over chocolate. Let stand 10 minutes, and stir until completely melted and smooth. Set aside.
  • Place egg yolk and egg in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat until light and frothy, about 2 minutes. Set aside.
  • Place sugar, corn syrup, and the water (do not stir) in a small saucepan set over medium heat until a candy thermometer registers 245 degrees. Wash down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent crystals from forming. With mixer on low, slowly pour sugar mixture into eggs; mix until combined mixture is room temperature, about 2 minutes.
  • In another bowl, whip remaining 1/3 cup cream to soft peaks. Fold into egg mixture, and fold in chocolate. Fill 3-ounce plastic cups one-third full. Place in freezer until firm, 4 to 5 hours. Unmold onto a baking sheet lined with waxed paper; cover with plastic wrap, and return to freezer for at least 1 hour.
  • Make the mint mixture: Prepare an ice bath, and set aside. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; quickly blanch fresh mint 1 minute. Transfer to ice bath to stop cooking and preserve bright color; let cool completely. Remove from ice bath, and place on paper towels; gently squeeze to extract excess water. Set aside.
  • Place sugar, corn syrup, dried mint, and the water (do not stir) in a small heavy saucepan over medium heat until a candy thermometer registers 245 degrees. Wash down sides of pan with a pastry brush dipped in water to prevent crystals from forming. Remove from heat; let cool.
  • Add blanched fresh mint; transfer to the jar of a blender. Blend until mixture is a smooth paste, about 3 minutes. Strain through a fine mesh sieve back into saucepan. Place over medium heat, and gently reheat 2 to 4 minutes. Place egg yolks and egg in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, and beat until light and frothy, about 4 minutes. With mixer on low speed, slowly pour sugar mixture into eggs; continue mixing until combined mixture is room temperature, about 5 minutes.
  • In another clean bowl, whip cream to soft peaks; fold into egg mixture with a rubber spatula. Fill 6-ounce ramekins or custard cups halfway, and place frozen chocolate mixture in the center of each. Level with remaining mint parfait mixture. Cover with plastic wrap, and place in freezer until completely set, 5 to 6 hours. Store in freezer up to 1 month.
  • To serve, unmold parfaits onto serving plates, and garnish with chocolate sauce and candied mint leaves, if desired.

These are really yummy! I like to top each parfait with a chocolate covered mint candy. They're best if chilled for a while.

Time 8m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups milk, plus
1 tablespoon milk, divided
1 (4 ounce) package instant chocolate pudding mix
4 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 tablespoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon peppermint extract
1 cup whipped topping

Steps:

  • Whisk 2 cups milk with the pudding mix for 2 minutes.
  • In small bowl, beat cream cheese, sugar, mint, and remaining milk.
  • Fold in whipped topping.
  • In dessert glasses, layer pudding and cream cheese mixtures.

Tips:

  • Use fresh mint leaves. This will give your parfaits the best flavor. If you don't have fresh mint, you can use 1/2 teaspoon of dried mint.
  • Use good quality chocolate. This will also make a big difference in the flavor of your parfaits. Look for chocolate that is at least 70% cacao.
  • Don't overmix the parfait layers. You want to keep the layers distinct, so only mix them enough to combine them.
  • Chill the parfaits for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them to set and firm up.
  • Garnish the parfaits with fresh mint leaves or chocolate shavings before serving. This will give them a beautiful finishing touch.

Conclusion:

Mint chocolate parfaits are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with layers of chocolate pudding, whipped cream, and fresh mint. The parfaits are chilled until they are set, then they are garnished with fresh mint leaves or chocolate shavings and served. Mint chocolate parfaits are a great way to enjoy the flavors of mint and chocolate in a light and refreshing dessert.
