WHITE CHOCOLATE-RASPBERRY PARFAITS

Steps:

• Make the sauce: Combine the raspberries, granulated sugar and lemon juice in a small saucepan and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, mashing with a spoon. Press through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl using the back of a spoon. Refrigerate until cold.
• Make the mousse: Put the white chocolate and 1/4 cup heavy cream in a medium microwave-safe bowl. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring, until the chocolate is melted; whisk until smooth and creamy. Beat the remaining 1 3/4 cups heavy cream in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until foamy. Add the confectioners' sugar and vanilla; beat until soft peaks form, about 2 more minutes. Whisk about 1 cup of the whipped cream into the chocolate mixture, then fold in the rest until combined.
• Divide half of the mousse among 6 small glasses; top each with about 1 tablespoon raspberry sauce and a few raspberries. Top with the remaining mousse, sauce and raspberries; sprinkle with shaved white chocolate. Refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes.

CHOCOLATE RASPBERRY BROWNIE PARFAITS

Steps:

• Prepare brownies according to directions on box. Bake in a 9x13" pan as directed. Let cool completely. Once cooled, cut into small bite-sized pieces.
• Prepare instant pudding as directed on box.
• Wash raspberries.
• Layer brownies, pudding, and raspberries in glass or plastic cups (remember the plastic cups I used to make Individual Seven Layer Dips? Those cups work perfect for this!).
• I was able to make 8 (8oz) servings, but it just depends how big your cups are and how many layers you put in each cup.
• *I suggest making these and eating them immediately, otherwise the brownies start to get really soft (I thought the soft brownies were yummy, but my husband preferred them to be more fresh and chewy).
