Ingredients
  

1 cup dark chocolate (70% cocoa), chopped

1 cup heavy cream, divided

3 tablespoons granulated sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup Greek yogurt

1 cup crushed graham crackers

1/2 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet or milk chocolate)

Fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, or blueberries) for garnish

Whipped cream for topping (optional)

Mint leaves for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Melt the Chocolate:

    In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the chopped dark chocolate and 1/2 cup of heavy cream. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until completely melted and smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

      Make the Chocolate Whipped Cream:

        In a large mixing bowl, whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract using an electric mixer until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the cooled melted chocolate until fully combined.

          Prepare the Greek Yogurt Layer:

            In another bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with a tablespoon of sugar and a splash of vanilla extract until smooth. You can adjust the sweetness to your taste.

              Assemble the Parfaits:

                In serving glasses or bowls, layer the parfait as follows:

                  - Start with a layer of crushed graham crackers at the bottom.

                    - Add a layer of the chocolate whipped cream.

                      - Follow with a layer of the Greek yogurt mixture.

                        - Sprinkle a layer of chocolate chips for added texture.

                          - Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, ending with a chocolate whipped cream layer on top.

                            Chill:

                              Cover the parfaits with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the parfaits to set.

                                Serve:

                                  Once chilled, remove the parfaits from the refrigerator, top with additional whipped cream (if using), fresh berries, and mint leaves for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy the rich, layered flavors!
