A chocolate mousse parfait is a layered dessert that is made by combining a rich and creamy chocolate mousse with fresh fruit, nuts, and other toppings. The mousse is made with dark chocolate, heavy cream, and sugar, and the texture is light and fluffy. The other ingredients are added to create layers of texture and flavor.

Ingredients
- 2 cups of heavy cream
- 8 ounces of dark chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup of granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup of fresh fruit, chopped (optional)
Instructions
1. In a medium saucepan, heat the cream over medium-low heat until it is just barely simmering. Add the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted. Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sugar and vanilla extract.
2. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Once cooled, transfer the mixture to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on high speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.

Notes
You can use any type of dark chocolate for this recipe, but we recommend using a high-quality dark chocolate for the best results. You can also add in other mix-ins such as mini chocolate chips, chopped candy bars, or crushed cookies.
If you don't have an electric mixer, you can also beat the mousse by hand with a whisk. It will take longer, but the results will be just as good.
