List of Ingredients
4 cups mini marshmallows
1/4 cup milk
16 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 tablespoon milk
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, shaved
1 cup heavy cream, whippedRecipe
Melt marshmallows with 1/4 cup milk in saucepan over low heat. Stir occasionally until smooth. Remove from heat and continue to mix until well blended and slightly thickened. Gradually add marshmallow mixture to half of the softened cream cheese, constantly mixing until well blended. In a separate saucepan combine sugar, chocolate shavings and 1 tablespoon milk and melt chocolate over low heat. Stir constantly to thoroughly combine ingredients and melt chocolate until smooth. Power mixture over remaining portion of cream cheese and mix well.
In a separate mixing bowl whip heavy dream to stiff peaks. Divide whipped cream in half. Fold half the whipped cream into the chocolate cream cheese mixture and the remaining half into the marshmallow and cream cheese mixture. In parfait glasses alternately layer each cream cheese mixture until full. Garnish with chocolate sprinkles or shavings if desired. If garnish is used, make sure to end the layering with the light cream cheese mixture as it makes a nice contrast to the chocolate sprinkles. Chill for at least 1-hour and serve.
Tip: The secret to preparing any creme cheese dessert or cheese cake is to beat the heck out of it. That's right, the more you mix cream cheese with the ingredients at hand, the smoother and creamier it gets.
