Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 tablespoons pure vanilla bean paste with seeds
  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 6 ounces fresh raspberries

Method
 

  1. Place a mixing bowl and utensils in the freezer for about 10 minutes.
  2. Remove bowl from freezer and sit it on a bowl filled with¼ level of ice. Then add heavy whipping cream, vanilla bean paste, and sugar to chill mixing bowl.
  3. Hand mix with a whisk for 10 minutes or a hand-held electric mixer for 2 minutes on medium-high speed. Make sure to occasionally scrape down sides with a rubber spatula to fully incorporate. Continue mixing, the cream should reach stiff peaks.
  4. Distribute raspberries on the bottom of glasses. Dollop 2 tablespoons of cream on top. Add another layer of raspberries. Then add the last layer, 2 tablespoons of cream. Add one or two raspberries to top off your dessert for some added visual appeal.
  5. Serve right away or refrigerate for up to 2 hours prior to serving.

Notes

  • Parfait can be assembled 2 hours in advance. The trick is to use semi frozen raspberries when assembling so far in advance.
  • Frozen raspberries that have been thawed can be used in place of fresh raspberries.
  • Make sure the ingredients, mixing bowl, and utensils are chilled. If warm it can destroy the cream's texture.
  • Use a stand mixer with whisk attachment for large batches.
