Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 6 to 8 brownies, cut into chunks
- 2 cups fresh raspberries
Dairy and Pudding Components:
- 1 (5.85 ounces/166 grams) box instant chocolate pudding mix
- 3 cups cold 2% milk
- 1 (8 ounces/227 grams) container whipped topping, thawed
Instructions
- Craft a velvety pudding foundation by whisking together instant pudding mix and chilled milk until the mixture develops a luxurious, creamy consistency.
- Incorporate thawed whipped topping into the pudding, gently folding until the elements merge into a smooth, airy texture.
- Create a stunning visual base in each glass or jar by carefully spooning a generous layer of the pudding mixture to cover the bottom.
- Distribute delicate brownie chunks across the pudding layer, ensuring an even spread of rich chocolate fragments.
- Scatter fresh, vibrant raspberries over the brownie pieces, allowing their crimson hue to peek through the layered landscape.
- Repeat the stratification process by adding another luscious layer of pudding, followed by another cascade of brownie chunks and raspberries.
- For a larger presentation in a trifle dish, continue the layering technique, ensuring each stratum is carefully arranged.
- Finish the parfait with a crowning layer of pudding, creating a smooth, inviting surface.
- Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator to allow flavors to meld and textures to harmonize, or serve immediately for an instant indulgence.
Notes
- Chill ingredients beforehand for a smoother, more refreshing dessert experience.
- Crumble brownies while slightly warm to ensure perfect bite-sized pieces that mix well with pudding.
- Fresh raspberries work best when they’re plump, bright red, and gently rinsed before adding to layers.
- Layer carefully to create beautiful visual texture, alternating between creamy pudding, rich brownie chunks, and vibrant berries.
- Prepare parfaits within 2-3 hours of serving to maintain optimal texture and prevent soggy brownie pieces.
- Garnish with extra whole raspberries or chocolate shavings for an elegant finishing touch.
