Instructions:
-
Prepare the Jelly: Start by dissolving the jelly (or gelatin) in boiling water according to the packet instructions. Once dissolved, place it in the refrigerator to semi-set for about 1 hour. The jelly should still be a bit soft when you mix it with the ice cream, so it will blend nicely.

Mix the Ice Cream and Jelly: After the jelly has semi-set, remove it from the fridge. Take the chocolate ice cream and gently blend it into half of the semi-set jelly. Use a spatula or a whisk to ensure the ice cream is well incorporated, resulting in a smooth and creamy chocolate mixture.
-
Whip the Cream and Cherry Mixture: In a separate bowl, whip the fresh cream with the powdered sugar until it forms soft peaks. Gently fold in the fresh cherry pieces, ensuring they are evenly distributed in the whipped cream. This will create a light, fluffy topping with a burst of cherry flavor in every bite.
-
Assemble the Parfait: To assemble, spoon the ice cream and jelly mixture into four individual dessert bowls or glasses. Layer the parfaits with an even portion of the creamy chocolate jelly mix.
-
Top with Cherry Cream: Once the chocolate ice cream jelly layer is in place, add a generous spoonful of the whipped cream and cherry mixture on top. The cream should be soft and pillowy, creating a delightful contrast to the cool, chocolaty jelly.
-
Finish with Jelly: Pour the remaining half of the clear jelly over the whipped cream and cherry topping, allowing it to set into a slightly firm, glossy layer. This final layer adds a touch of color and a refreshing flavor to the dessert.
-
Chill and Serve: Place the parfaits in the fridge and chill them until the pudding is set, about 2-3 hours. The dessert should be firm yet smooth when served, with all the layers neatly defined.
Once chilled, your Chocolate Cherry Parfait is ready to be served. Spoon it into bowls and enjoy the delightful contrast of creamy chocolate, fresh cherries, and tangy jelly—a sweet combination that will be loved by everyone, especially kids. Perfect for family gatherings, a treat for special occasions, or as a fun way to indulge your sweet tooth.
