Recipe: Easter Chocolate, Raspberry & Mascarpone Parfaits
Ingredients (4–6 parfaits)
Vanilla Mascarpone Cream
- 1 cup homemade mascarpone
- ¼ cup heavy cream (35%)
- 3 or 4 tbsp sugar (to taste)
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
(If your homemade mascarpone is already light - for example, a version made with milk and cream - you can reduce the amount of heavy cream.)
Assembly

- 1 cup fresh raspberries
- ⅓ cup dark chocolate shavings (or to taste)
Preparation
1. Prepare the mascarpone cream
In a bowl, combine the mascarpone, cream, sugar, and vanilla.
Whisk lightly until smooth and creamy.
2. Prepare the chocolate
Using a vegetable peeler, shave thin curls of dark chocolate from a chocolate bar.
3. Assemble the parfaits
In each glass, layer the following:
- crushed graham crackers
- vanilla mascarpone cream
- fresh raspberries
- another layer of mascarpone cream
- chocolate shavings
4. Chill
Refrigerate the parfaits for 30 to 60 minutes before serving.
✨ Suggestion:
Add a few raspberries and extra chocolate on top for an even more festive presentation.
