Blackberry fools:

Makes about 4 servings.

Ingredients:

1 jar (12 ounces) blackberry jam or jelly

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar

1/2 cup mixed fresh berries

Preparation:

Pass jam through a fine sieve; discard solids. With a mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat cream and sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold jam and fresh berries into the cream to form swirls. Divide mixture among 4 cups, garnish with berries and/or chocolate topping. It is a good idea to chill the dessert for 30 mins to make it even more flavoursome otherwise serve immediately.

Cookies-and-Cream Parfaits:

Makes about 6 servings

Ingredients:

16 fl oz whipping cream, cold
2 tablespoons sugar
2 (16 ounce) tubs all natural Belgian chocolate pudding
24 all natural chocolate-vanilla sandwich     cookies (crushed into chunky consistency)
1 square semi-sweet chocolate, to shave for garnish

Preparation:

In the bowl of a mixer, add the cold cream and start to whip; once thickened slightly, sprinkle in the sugar and finish whipping just until soft peaks form. In medium-large bowl, add 2 cups of the chocolate pudding (reserving the remaining pudding) and begin adding the whipped cream to it in several increments, gently folding in to keep a fluffy and light consistency, as this is the “chocolate mousse” part of the dessert; once all whipped cream is incorporated, set aside and prepare glasses.

To Assemble add equal quantities of the crushed cookies to the bottom of each glass, next a layer of chocolate pudding followed by a layer of the “chocolate mousse”. Finish by sprinkling crushed cookies and garnish with chocolate shavings. Refrigerate until ready to serve, or serve immediately.
