French Silk Chocolate Pie (Or Parfait) image

Although eaten refrigerated, not frozen, this rich dessert melts in your mouth like ice cream! One of it's special assets is being able to make it ahead and freeze to have on hand for special occasions. Mother made this often, and it is still my favorite dessert. Cooking time includes chilling time. Variation: For Gluten-intolerant people: Omit pie crust and spoon filling into individual parfait glasses and garnish with whipped cream and chocolate shavings!

REALLY GOOD CHOCOLATE MINT PARFAIT BARS



Really Good Chocolate Mint Parfait Bars image

I got this out of a cookbook years ago and they never last long. They are so good.. I didn't have a cake box right on hand so estimated the size. This is great for company. Hope you enjoy as much as we do. Also if you don't want to use the chocolate mint you can use devil's food cake mix. The base is the cake mix and butter and egg The filling is the unflavored gelatin, boiling water, powdered sugar, butter, shortening and peppermint extract and green food coloring. The frosting is the chocolate chips and 3 tbsp butter.. Just wanted to make sure everyone understood. :) also you can use margarine instead of butter. I love butter though.

Yield Makes 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

For candied mint:
1 bunch fresh mint
2 large egg whites
About 1 cup granulated sugar
For parfait:
5 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
2 cups heavy cream, divided
1/2 cup plus one rounded tablespoon granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
5 large egg yolks
For chocolate sauce:
1/8 cup unsweeted alkalized cocoa powder
1 ounce bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped
3/4 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup water

Steps:

  • Make candied mint:
  • Remove the large leaves from the mint (about 30 leaves). If desired, reserve 10 sprigs for garnish; reserve the remaining mint for another use.
  • Preheat the oven to 200°F (or to warm, depending on the oven). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • In a shallow bowl, gently whisk the egg whites. Spread the sugar in another shallow bowl. Dip the mint leaves one at a time in the egg whites, shaking off the excess, then dip in the sugar, turning to coat well on both sides, and place on the baking sheets in a single layer.
  • Bake the leaves until thoroughly dry and crisp (2-1/2 hours should be enough). Let cool completely on the baking sheets on wire racks, then transfer to an airtight container until ready to use.
  • Make the parfait:
  • Coarsely chop the candied mint; set aside. (You should have about 3/4 cup.)
  • Lightly grease a 9 1/4 x 5 1/4 x 2 3/4-inch metal loaf pan (using a pan of these exact dimensions is not critical, as long as you approximate the dimensions). Line the pan with plastic wrap so that the plastic extends about 1 inch beyond the rim of the pan.
  • Place the chopped chocolate in a small bowl. In a small saucepan, bring 1/2 cup of the cream to a gentle boil over medium heat. Pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let stand for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate, then whisk gently until smooth. Transfer the ganache to a large bowl and set aside.
  • In a chilled large bowl, using a hand-held electric mixer set at medium speed, whip the remaining 1 1/3 cups cream until soft peaks form. Cover and refrigerate.
  • In a small heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil over medium-low heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissovles. Using a clean pastry brush dipped in warm water, wash down the side of the pan to remove any sugar crystals. Raise the heat to medium-high and boil the syrup for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it registers 249° F on a candy thermometer. Meanwhile, when the syrup reaches 235° F, start preparing the egg yolks.
  • In the 4 1/4-quart bowl of a heavy-duty mixer, using the wire whip attachment, beat the egg yolks for about 5 minutes, until thick, pale, and almost tripled in volume.
  • When the syrup registers 249° F, immediately remove it from the heat. While beating the egg yolks at medium speed, gradually pour the syrup in a slow, steady stream near the side of the bowl onto the yolks. Continue beating for 5-8 minutes, until the mixture is completely cool. If necessary, using a wire whisk, whisk the whip cream until, soft peaks form again. Using a large rubber spatula, fold a few tablespoons of the whipped cream into the ganache. Gradually fold in the remaining whipped cream, then gently fold in the cooled egg yolk mixture. Fold in the chopped candied mint. Scrape the parfait mixture into the prepared pan and smooth the top. Wrap the pan in plastic wrap and aluminum foil and freeze overnight. ( The parfait can be prepared up to 2 days ahead.)
  • Make the chocolate sauce:
  • Combine the cocoa powder and chopped chocolate in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • In a small heavy saucepan, combine the sugar and water and bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly until the sugar dissolves. Pour the syrup over the cocoa, mixture and let stand for 30 seconds to melt the chocolate, then whisk gently until smooth. Strain the sauce through a fine strainer into a bowl and let cool. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. (The sauce can be made up to a day ahead; whisk gently until completely smooth before serving.)
  • Unmold the parfait:
  • Cover a 9 1/2 x 5-inch cardboard rectangle with aluminum foil. Remove the parfait from the freezer and unwrap the pan. Place the foil-covered rectangle on top of the loaf pan, invert the pan onto the cardboard and lift off the pan. (If necessary, reinvert the pan and tug gently on the overhanging plastic wrap to release the parfait from the pan, then invert onto the cardboard again.) If the parfait does not seem to be budging, take a sponge with hot water and run it along all sides of the pan. Place the still-wrapped parfait in the freezer until ready to serve.
  • To serve, spoon or drizzle some of the sauce onto each plate. With a very sharp thin-bladed knife, cut the parfait into 10 slices, wiping the blade clean between each slice. Garnish each plate with a small mint sprig if desired, and serve immediately.

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pkg sugar free instant chocolate pudding
1 c reduced calorie whipped topping, thawed
1 large banana, thinly sliced
1 Tbsp sliced almonds

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare pudding mix according to package directions, using skim milk. To assemble , divide half of the pudding between 6 parfait glasses or stemed goblets. Using half of the whipped topping, make a thin layer of topping in each glass. Top with a few banana slices. Repeat layers, using remaining pudding, whipped topping and bananas. Sprinkle almonds over each serving. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use.
  • 2. Per serving; 76 cals, 1g of protein, 2g fat, 14g carbs Diabetic exchange; 1 carbohydrate [1/2 starch, 1/2 fruit]

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate: The quality of the chocolate you use will greatly impact the flavor of your parfait. Look for chocolate with a high cocoa content (70% or higher) and avoid chocolate that contains artificial flavors or preservatives.
  • Temper the chocolate: Tempering the chocolate will help to stabilize it and prevent it from becoming grainy. To temper chocolate, melt it slowly over a double boiler, stirring constantly. Once the chocolate is melted, remove it from the heat and let it cool slightly. Then, return it to the heat and stir until it reaches the desired temperature (between 88°F and 90°F).
  • Use fresh cream: Fresh cream will give your parfait a rich and creamy flavor. Avoid using heavy cream or whipping cream, as they can be too thick and heavy.
  • Sweeten the cream to taste: The amount of sugar you add to the cream will depend on your personal preference. Start with a small amount of sugar and add more to taste.
  • Layer the parfait carefully: When layering the parfait, start with a layer of chocolate, then a layer of cream, and then a layer of cookies or fruit. Repeat these layers until you reach the desired height.
  • Chill the parfait before serving: Chilling the parfait will help to set it and make it easier to eat. Chill the parfait for at least 2 hours before serving.

Conclusion:

Chocolate parfaits are a delicious and elegant dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for special occasions or for a simple treat. With a few simple tips, you can make chocolate parfaits that are sure to impress your friends and family.
