These easter brownie parfaits are simply perfect. They are decorated with colorful chocolate Easter eggs, which makes them super cute. A parfait refers to a layered dessert. The idea is to eat it from the same glass used to form the layers in. The glass itself can be as small or large as needed.

In this case, this is a brownie parfait! This Easter-themed brownie parfait is formed by layers of chocolate whipped cream, brownie pieces and mini chocolate Easter eggs. We love the combination. The whipped cream gives it softness and creaminess. Then the brownies give a lot of flavor and that chewy texture we all love. And the Easter eggs add crunch and sweetness.
Our favorite thing about this recipe is how east it is to make. And that’s because it can be made with leftover brownies you have lying around your kitchen. Or you can use store-bought brownies. Maybe use brownie mixes already prepared even, like the ones they sell in supermarkets. Now, if you want to take it more seriously, and you want the brownies to be delicious, we recommend using our classic brownies recipe. This is the brownie recipe we used to make these brownie parfaits.
Besides, to be honest, our classic brownies are the best brownies you will ever try. And we are not the only ones who say so, many people who have tried them, and who have made our recipe, tell us so. Simply perfect!
Although, if you wanted to, you could also use chocolate cake pieces or any other dessert similar to a cake for this recipe. It would taste great too. This is meant to be an easy recipe, so you can use any leftovers you have in your kitchen. The idea is to have a quick recipe to whip up for easter celebrations. That’s what we love about this recipe. It’s a super easy dessert that makes you look great with family, friends and loved ones.

Easter brownie parfaits
Ingredients
- 1/2 a recipe of our classic brownies, or store bought brownies (or some other type)
- 2 C (16.20 fl oz) (480 ml) whipping cream, cold
- 1 tsp (0.17 fl oz) (5 ml) vanilla extract
- 1/3 C (1.40 oz) (40 gr) confectioners sugar
- Whipped cream, for decorating
Instructions
- Place the mini chocolate Easter eggs in a ziploc bag, reserving some to decorate the parfait. With a rolling pin, crush the easter eggs inside the plastic bag until they are in medium sized pieces with some other larger pieces.
- The brownies should be completely cool before using them for this recipe. Then cut them into small pieces until you have about 32 pieces.
- In a large bowl, add the whipping cream and vanilla extract. Then sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder on top, in the same bowl. Beat with an electric mixer or hand whisk for about 3 minutes until stiff peaks form.
- To make the parfaits, you need small glasses. Inside each glass, spoon a layer of the chocolate whipped cream, then add 3 or 4 pieces of brownie and on top pieces of the mini chocolate Easter eggs. Do a whole second layer of all these ingredients and then decorate with regular whipped cream and the whole chocolate easter eggs.
- Repeat this to make the rest of the parfaits.
