Mixed Berry Parfaits

Great recipe for parfaits with mousse and mixed berry whipping cream.
Prep Time15 minutes
Total Time15 minutes
Servings: 2 huge parfaits or 4 small

Ingredients

For the Mixed Berry Whipped Cream:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup mixed frozen berries OR 1 tablespoon Summer Berry Fruit Dip Mix

For the Mousse Portion:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 package of chocolate mousse you could make your own, I cheated
  • 1 ½ to 2 cups Frozen Mixed Berries thawed and divided

Instructions

For the Mixed Berry Whipped Cream:

  • In a stand mixer, or hand mixer, whisk the heavy cream on low till it stops splashing around, takes about a minute or so.
  • Then turn it up to high gradually and let it whip until fluffy.
  • Set aside a little bit of plain whipping cream for garnish if desired.
  • Add either berries or fruit dip mix. Fold in by hand or whip in mixer on low until just incorporated.
  • Transfer to a piping bag. You can also spoon in it but it will be messier.

For the Mousse Portion:

  • Add the heavy cream and mousse mix together. Whip until light and fluffy.
  • Transfer to a piping bag.

Putting it together:

  • Pipe in half the mousse into each glass.
  • Add ½ of the berries.
  • Add ½ the mixed berry whipping cream.
  • Pipe in remaining mousse.
  • Add another ⅓ of the berries.
  • Pipe in the remaining mixed berry whipping cream.
  • Top with plain whipping cream if desired.
  • Top with the rest of the fruit.
  • Pop them in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
  • Serve with a big old berry smile!

Notes

I bought a jar of Victorian Epicure Summer Berry Fruit Dip Mix at a Farmers Market and just love the stuff. I've also done these parfaits with mixed berries from the freezer. Either works beautifully.
