Description

The Easy Chocolate Cherry Brownie Parfait is a quick, no-bake dessert layering fudgy brownies, sweet cherry pie filling, and creamy whipped cream, topped with chocolate chips or shavings. With minimal ingredients and effortless assembly, this parfait delivers rich chocolate and cherry flavors combined with a luscious creamy texture, perfect for satisfying sweet cravings in minutes.

Ingredients

Brownie Layer

  • Brownie pieces (store-bought or homemade, cut into bite-size pieces)

Fruit Layer

  • Cherry pie filling (chilled for thicker consistency)

Cream Layer

  • Whipped cream (freshly whipped or store-bought)
  • Vanilla extract (optional, to add depth to whipped cream)

Toppings

  • Chocolate chips or chocolate shavings (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Cut brownies into bite-size pieces, chill cherry pie filling to thicken it, and whip cream if using fresh. Optionally add vanilla extract to the whipped cream for added flavor.
  2. Layer the Brownie Base: Place a generous layer of brownie pieces at the bottom of parfait glasses or bowls to create a rich chocolate foundation.
  3. Add the Cherry Layer: Spoon an even layer of cherry pie filling over the brownies, spreading cherries and syrup to add moistness and tart sweetness.
  4. Whip It Up With Cream: Top the cherry layer with a fluffy portion of whipped cream, smoothing it evenly to balance the dense and fruity layers.
  5. Repeat Layers and Finish: Repeat the brownie, cherry, and cream layers once more. Finish by sprinkling chocolate chips or shavings on top for extra texture and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use day-old brownies for better absorption of cherry juices without becoming mushy.
  • Chill the parfait for at least 30 minutes before serving to blend flavors.
  • Adjust sweetness of cherry filling with fresh lemon juice if too sweet.
  • Use a spoon or piping bag to layer whipped cream neatly and attractively.
  • Better quality brownies and fresh whipped cream yield superior flavor.
