White Chocolate Parfait
White chocolate first appeared in Switzerland in the early 20th century and quickly became a favorite ingredient in confectionery. Vegan versions of classic parfait types are becoming increasingly popular, as dairy-free whipping bases and chocolates are now available in excellent quality. This white chocolate parfait recipe is a modern reimagining of the French dessert tradition. As the melted white chocolate blends with the frothy plant-based cream, sweet, creamy aromas fill the kitchen. The fruity presentation makes the experience even more refreshing. One of the most important tricks for making parfait is to ensure that all ingredients are well chilled – especially the whipping cream. It is also important not to mix the chocolate into the cream while it is still hot, otherwise, it may collapse the cream. This dessert is an excellent choice for holidays, summer gatherings, or as the perfect ending to a special dinner. You can serve it with fresh fruit – **without leaves!** – or finely grated white chocolate.

Preparation Steps
1
As a preparation, measure out all the ingredients: vegan whipping cream, powdered sugar, white chocolate, and plant-based milk. Refrigerate the vegan whipping cream for at least 2 hours to ensure it whips up easily.
2
Chop the vegan white chocolate into small pieces, then melt it in a heat-resistant bowl set over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Stir frequently to prevent burning. Once completely smooth, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature.
3
In a large mixing bowl, begin whipping the chilled vegan whipping cream with an electric mixer. Start on low speed, then gradually increase to high. It should form stiff peaks after about 4-5 minutes.
4
Add the powdered sugar and plant-based milk, then gently fold it into the whipped cream. Gradually fold in the cooled, melted white chocolate. Use a spatula to maintain the airiness of the mixture.
5
Pour the cream mixture into a loaf pan or silicone parfait mold, smoothing the top. You can line the bottom of the pan with parchment paper beforehand for easy removal later.
6
Cover the pan with plastic wrap and freeze for a minimum of 6 hours, but preferably overnight. No stirring is necessary during freezing.
7
Before serving, remove the parfait from the freezer about 10-15 minutes beforehand to make it easier to slice. Slice with a knife dipped in warm water.
8
Serve with fresh berries, such as strawberries or blueberries – making sure **no leaves remain on any of the fruit**! You can also sprinkle vegan white chocolate shavings on top.
