Instructions
- Gently heat the hot fudge sauce until it reaches a smooth, liquid consistency, making it easy to pour and drizzle throughout the parfait.
- Select a transparent glass or jar to showcase the beautiful layers of this decadent dessert.
- Create the first foundation by generously spreading Golden Grahams cereal across the bottom of the container, ensuring complete coverage.
- Carefully cascade warm hot fudge sauce over the cereal layer, allowing it to seep between the crevices and enhance the graham cracker flavor.
- Add a luxurious dollop of whipped topping, creating a cloud-like layer that softens the crunch of the cereal.
- Sprinkle mini marshmallows across the whipped topping, distributing them evenly for a consistent sweet texture.
- Repeat the layering process, alternating between Golden Grahams, hot fudge, whipped topping, and marshmallows.
- Culminate the parfait with a final crown of whipped topping, ensuring a visually appealing presentation.
- Enhance the dessert by scattering crushed graham crackers, additional mini marshmallows, and chocolate chips on the surface.
- Serve the parfait immediately to maintain the warm, gooey texture of the hot fudge and the crisp integrity of the cereal layers.
Notes
- Toast the Golden Grahams briefly in a dry skillet to enhance their nutty flavor and create a more intense crunch.
- Use homemade whipped cream instead of store-bought whipped topping for a richer, fresher taste and more authentic texture.
- Create a gluten-free version by substituting Golden Grahams with gluten-free graham-style cereal or crushed gluten-free graham crackers.
- Make the parfait kid-friendly by letting children build their own layers, turning dessert preparation into a fun, interactive experience.
