How to Make Creamy Christmas Trifle Parfait Shots
  1. In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, which should take about 3-4 minutes.
  2. In another bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract together. Gently fold in the whipped cream until fully integrated.
  3. In small glasses or parfait cups, add a layer of crumbled sponge cake or ladyfingers at the bottom.
  4. Top the cake layer with a mix of fresh berries, layering strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries.
  5. Spoon a layer of the creamy mascarpone mixture over the berries.
  6. Continue layering until your glasses are filled, ensuring the last layer is the creamy mascarpone mixture.
  7. Sprinkle crushed peppermint candies over the top if desired.
  8. Place your parfait shots in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1 hour before serving. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.
