How to Make Chocolate Cinnamon Parfait
- Whip 2 cups heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
- Transfer 2/3 cup of the whipped cream to a separate bowl. Add 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon and stir to combine.
- Beat 2 large egg yolks in a bowl.
- In a small saucepan, combine 1/2 cup granulated sugar and 1/4 cup water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture comes to a simmer.
- Remove from heat immediately.
- Slowly pour half of the hot sugar syrup into the beaten egg yolks, whisking constantly to prevent scrambling.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Gently fold the cinnamon-flavored whipped cream into the cooled egg-sugar mixture.
- Spoon the mixture into four small drinking glasses. Freeze for at least 4 hours.
- Melt 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth.
- Beat the remaining 2 large egg yolks.
- Reheat the remaining sugar syrup and slowly whisk it into the egg yolks.
- Allow the mixture to cool completely.
- Add 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder and the melted chocolate to the cooled mixture. Stir until combined.
- Gently fold in the remaining whipped cream.
- Spoon the chocolate mixture on top of the cinnamon layer in the glasses.
- Freeze until completely solid (at least 4 hours or overnight). Let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes before serving.
