Equipment

  • Medium saucepan
  • Whisk
  • Mixing bowls
  • Electric hand mixer or stand mixer
  • Parfait glasses or small dessert cups

Ingredients
  

  • For the Chocolate Pudding:
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 tablespoons cornstarch
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • For the Baileys Whipped Cream:
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Baileys Irish Cream
  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar
  • For the Toppings:
  • Crushed mint chocolate candies e.g., Andes Mints or Mint Aero bars
  • Chocolate shavings optional

Instructions
 

  • Make the Chocolate Pudding:
  • In a medium saucepan, whisk together milk, sugar, cocoa powder, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
  • Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and begins to bubble.
  • Remove from heat and stir in vanilla extract and chocolate chips until melted and smooth.
  • Transfer the pudding to a bowl, cover with plastic wrap (pressing it directly onto the surface to prevent a skin from forming), and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until chilled.
  • Prepare the Baileys Whipped Cream:
  • In a mixing bowl, combine heavy cream, Baileys Irish Cream, and powdered sugar.
  • Using an electric mixer, beat until soft peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip.
  • Assemble the Parfaits:
  • Spoon a layer of chocolate pudding into the bottom of each parfait glass or dessert cup.
  • Add a layer of Baileys whipped cream, then sprinkle a layer of crushed mint chocolate candies.
  • Repeat the layers until the glasses are full, finishing with whipped cream and a generous sprinkle of mint chocolates or chocolate shavings.
  • Chill and Serve:
  • Refrigerate the parfaits for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
