Description

This Mini Eggs Brownie Parfait is rich, creamy, and perfect for Easter. A layered dessert with brownies, whipped cream, and Mini Eggs.


Ingredients

Scale

For the brownie layer:

  • 1 pan of brownies (homemade or store-bought), cut into small chunks

  • Optional: add-ins like chocolate chips or chopped nuts for extra texture

For the cream layer:

  • 1½ cups heavy whipping cream

  • 2 tablespoons powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    OR substitute with chocolate mousse or whipped topping if preferred

For the topping:

  • 1 cup Cadbury Mini Eggs, roughly chopped

  • Optional garnishes: chocolate syrup, extra brownie crumbles, sprinkles, or whole Mini Eggs for decoration


Instructions

  1. Prepare the brownies:
    If you’re making brownies from scratch, allow them to cool completely after baking. Then cut them into small cubes or break them into bite-sized chunks. If using store-bought brownies, simply chop into small pieces.

  2. Whip the cream:
    In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract using a hand mixer or stand mixer. Whip until stiff peaks form, taking care not to overwhip. You want the cream to be smooth and airy.

  3. Crush the Mini Eggs:
    Place the Mini Eggs in a resealable plastic bag and gently crush them with a rolling pin or heavy object. You want a mix of large and small pieces for texture and color contrast.

  4. Assemble the parfaits:
    In individual cups or dessert glasses, start with a layer of brownie chunks, followed by a dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle some crushed Mini Eggs on top. Repeat the layers until you reach the top of the glass. Finish with a swirl of whipped cream and a final sprinkle of Mini Eggs or brownie crumbles.

  5. Chill and serve:
    Place the assembled parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set.

 

Whether you serve them right away or prepare them in advance, these brownie parfaits will be a hit at any table.

Notes

Mini Eggs Brownie Parfaits are perfect for spring holidays like Easter, but they’re also great for birthdays, potlucks, or casual weekend treats. Their individual size makes them ideal for parties, especially when served in mini cups for easy handheld enjoyment.

You can also prepare them in mason jars for picnics or outdoor gatherings. Add a lid and tie with a ribbon for an easy-to-transport dessert that looks as good as it tastes.

 

For a more formal presentation, use wine glasses or clear stemmed dessert cups. Garnish with a mint leaf or drizzle of chocolate sauce for that final touch.
