ASSEMBLE THE COINTREAU CHANTILLY PARFAITS
- Assemble the parfaits in a pretty glass with high sides. Mine is about 3" across and 4" high.
- Place the sponge cake on the bottom of the glass. Add 1/4 of the berries and spoon a bit of the macerated cointreau and berry juice over the sponge cake to soak it up. Pipe 1/4 of the chantilly cream over the berries. Repeat with a second layer of sponge cake and press it gently into the whipped cream. Top with 1/4 of the berries and 1/4 of the chantilly cream. Build the second parfait the same way.
- Transfer the parfaits to the refrigerator for 1-2 hours before serving so the berry juices and cointreau can get soaked into the sponge cake.
- Garnish with any remaining whipped cream and berries to serve.
Notes
- Recipe can be doubled.The parfaits can be made several hours in advance or even the night before.
