Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, chilled
  • 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 cup whipped cream (homemade or store-bought)
  • 8 chocolate cookies (Oreos or chocolate graham crackers), crushed
  • Chocolate syrup, for drizzling
  • Instant coffee granules, for topping
  • Optional: 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • Optional: 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • Optional: 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (for adults)

Instructions

  1. Brew 1 cup of strong coffee and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine 1/2 cup sweetened condensed milk with 1/2 cup chilled coffee. Stir until smooth and creamy. Add vanilla extract if desired.
  3. If making homemade whipped cream, beat 1 cup cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add 1 tablespoon sugar and a splash of vanilla. Alternatively, use store-bought whipped cream.
  4. Place 8 chocolate cookies in a zip-lock bag and crush with a rolling pin until you have chunky crumbs.
  5. In mini cups (4-6 oz), layer 1 tablespoon cookie crumbles, 2-3 tablespoons coffee-condensed milk mixture, a drizzle of chocolate syrup, and a layer of whipped cream. Repeat layers if space allows.
  6. Top with additional cookie crumbles, chocolate syrup, and a sprinkle of instant coffee granules. Add chocolate curls or a coffee bean for garnish if desired.
  7. Chill parfait cups in the fridge for 15-30 minutes before serving.

Notes

For vegan or dairy-free versions, use coconut cream, plant-based condensed milk, and vegan cookies. Adjust sweetness by tasting the coffee-condensed milk mixture before layering. Parfaits can be made ahead, but add whipped cream and toppings just before serving for best texture.
