Chocolate Babka Parfaits are a decadent dessert made by layering soft, chocolate babka with freshly whipped cream. This easy-to-make dessert strikes a perfect balance between indulgence and simplicity, making it perfect for busy nights, casual get-togethers, or special occasions.

Ingredients

1 16 oz chocolate babka (or other flavored babka)

¾ cup heavy cream, cold

1 tsp pure vanilla extract

¼ cup confectioner’s sugar, sifted

¼ cup dark chocolate, shaved (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Babka: Cut about ¾ of the chocolate babka into ½-inch cubes and set aside. Reserve the rest for topping the parfaits.
  2. Whip the Cream: In the bowl of a stand mixer, whip the heavy cream on high speed until soft peaks form. Add the vanilla extract and confectioner’s sugar, then continue whipping until stiff peaks form.
  3. Assemble the Parfaits: In small glass jars or containers, alternate layers of babka and whipped cream, repeating until you have four layers. Top the parfaits with the reserved babka cubes.
  4. Add Chocolate and Chill: Optionally, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings on top for added flavor and texture. Refrigerate the parfaits for about 30 minutes to allow the whipped cream to set.
  5. Serve: Serve immediately or within a few hours for the best texture. Garnish with additional chocolate shavings if desired.

Notes

Add fresh berries or sliced bananas for a fresh contrast to the chocolate.

Chopped nuts like pecans or almonds can be added for extra crunch.

For a vegan version, use dairy-free whipped cream and a vegan-friendly babka.

Incorporate chocolate chips or chunks within the layers for even more chocolatey goodness.

Flavor the whipped cream with orange zest, cinnamon, or almond extract for a twist.

Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days. For best texture, don’t refrigerate for more than 4 hours before serving.

This dessert isn’t ideal for freezing, as the cream may separate upon thawing.
