Coffee Mallow Parfait

I'm reading this book by Nicole Johnson. It's called Fresh Brewed Life and in it I found this receipe for Coffee Mallow Parfait. Sounds so yummy, I had to share.

Here's what you'l need:
24 regular-size marshmallows (about 3 cups)
1 cup double-strenth coffee
1 cup whipping cream
1/2 cup chocolate cookie crumbs

Here's what you'll need to do:
In a medium saucepan combine the marshmallows and the coffee.
Cook and stir over medium heat until the marshmallows melt.
Chill until partially set.
Fold the whipped cream into the marshmallow mixture.
Chill again until partially reset.
In parfait glass, start with coffee/mallow mixture and layer the mixture with the cookie crumbs so that there are at least three layers of cookie crumbs.
Top with the coffee/mallow mixture.
Chill again till serving.
Just before serving, add a dollop of whipped cream. Garnish, if desired with a drizzle of Torani Mint or chocolate syrup, and top with a large chocolate shave or an Andes Mint Cansy.

Enjoy :-)

As always, great post, great work. It sounds so good. I just did a summer fruit with cream parfait with simple syrup. If you have the time come by and take a look. I made a quick cream with whipping cream, sour cream and honey.
