-Dark chocolate chips or pieces
-Nuts for garnish (we recommend pistachios and hazelnuts)
For this delicious parfait, you’ll begin by loosely grinding your cookies in a food processor. Set them to the side while you melt the dark chocolate over a bain-marie.
Let the chocolate cool for a bit, and then you’re ready to start layering your parfait. Alternate your ingredients with layers of yogurt, chocolate, and cookie. Continue layering until your cup is full.
Finish with more yogurt on top and decorate with some pistachios and hazelnuts if you would like. Enjoy this parfait as a mouth-watering dessert or mid-day snack!

For the whipped coffee:
-Instant coffee (2 tablespoons)
-Hot water (2 tablespoons)
-Sugar (2 tablespoons)
For the chocolate mousse:
-⅔ cup of chocolate

Instructions
For this parfait, you’ll make whipped coffee and chocolate mousse to layer together. You’ll begin by preparing the chocolate mousse first. To do this, melt the chocolate over a bain-marie. Once it has melted, let it cool in the fridge for 30 minutes.
Then, whisk the chocolate with ⅓ cup and 1 tablespoon of water until it reaches a thick consistency. Return the mixture to the fridge to cool again. In the meantime, you’re going to make your whipped coffee. In a bowl, combine the instant coffee, sugar, and hot water and whisk together until firm.
Then, crush your chocolate cookies in a food processor. Now you’re ready to make your parfait! Layer the parfait in the following order: whipped coffee, cookies, granola (optional), and chocolate mousse.
