Dessert, Gluten-Free

This dessert isn’t just for holidays! It’s good any time you want to serve a delicious chocolate dessert. It’s also fun to serve in a small mason jar with a bow tied around the top. I’ve used a parfait glass as well, which is a beautiful way to show off these delicious layers. One thing for sure…your family & friends will want the recipe!

Ingredients

  • Connie’s Gluten-free Brownies (recipe linked below)

Whipped Cream Ingredients

  • Heavy Organic Whipping Cream
  • Powdered sugar & vanilla to taste
  • Fresh raspberries, rinsed
  • Pecans, toasted & chopped
  • Valentine sprinkles
  • Chocolate sprinkles
  • 4-6 Valentine (or other decorated) dessert glasses

Fudge Sauce

  • 2/3 cup sugar
  • ½ cup whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa
  • 3 tbsps. butter

Directions

    Fudge Sauce

    1. In 1 quart saucepan, cook all ingredients over medium heat until mixture is smooth and boils, set aside.

    Connie’s Go-To Whipped Cream

    1. I love freshly whipped cream. It truly makes this dish!
    2. For this recipe, I used approx 2 cups of heavy cream in a large bowl.
    3. Start beating the cream. Slowly add powdered sugar. I love sweet whipping cream, so typically use a little less than 1/4 cup powdered sugar for 2 cups cream. Taste along the way and decide how much powdered sugar you like.
    4. Add 1 tsp vanilla. Continue whipping on “high” until cream is fully whipped.

    How To Put It Together

    1. Make brownies (recipe below), let them cool. Then cut into shapes or break up into small pieces
    2. Make Fudge Sauce, let it cool
    3. Make Whipping Cream, set aside.

    You’re Ready To Stat Layering!

    1. Drizzle a little fudge sauce in bottom of the glass
    2. Add a few pieces of brownie on top of sauce
    3. Continue with raspberries & pecans
    4. Drizzle more fudge sauce
    5. Add some chocolate sprinkles or your favorite shaved chocolate
    6. Add a dollop of the whipped cream and spread to cover
    7. Start the second layer with brownies & the rest of the yummies
    8. Finish with another dollop of the whipped cream, raspberry on top & some Valentine sprinkles!
    9. Valentine toothpick embellishment is optional! LOL!
