For a richer flavor, consider adding a tablespoon of orange zest to the cranberry sauce mixture. Garnish the finished parfait with fresh cranberries, a sprinkle of graham cracker crumbs, or a drizzle of honey. To prevent soggy graham cracker crumbs, you can lightly toast them in a dry skillet before layering.

Follow The Directions
01
StepChill a large metal bowl in the refrigerator or freezer to ensure perfectly stable whipped cream (approximately 15 minutes).
02
StepIn a separate bowl, gently combine the whole berry cranberry sauce and jellied cranberry sauce. This blend offers a delightful contrast in texture and sweetness.
03
StepPlace graham crackers in a large resealable plastic bag. Using a rolling pin, crush them into fine crumbs. Alternatively, pulse them in a food processor for a more uniform texture.
04
StepPour heavy cream into the chilled bowl. With an electric mixer on high speed, beat until soft peaks begin to form (about 2 minutes). Gradually add sugar and vanilla extract, continuing to beat until medium peaks form (about 2 minutes more). Be careful not to overwhip.
05
StepIn a trifle bowl or individual glasses, create the parfait layers. Start with half of the graham cracker crumbs, followed by half of the cranberry sauce mixture, and then half of the whipped cream. Repeat these layers, ending with a final flourish of whipped cream.
06
StepCover the parfait and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the layers to set beautifully. For optimal results, chill overnight.
