Red, White, and Blue Ice Cream & Brownie Parfaits

Check your calendar ’cause summertime in the good ole U.S. of A means there will be a fair share of celebrating and honoring our heroes (as it should be).

Having served in the United States Air Force, I get it. I have innumerable reasons to be equally proud to have served.

I am doubly appreciative and thankful for all the men and women soldiers who served before and those who are actively serving.

My hat is off, and my head is bowed for those brave Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice.

For this parfait, we went big and baked up our favorite double chocolate and cherry brownie, added creamy scoops of cookie dough, ice cream, fresh sweet strawberries, and a cherry on top (literally, there is a real cherry on top).

But the real “cherry” on top is the special edition M&M’s® Red, White, Blue Milk Chocolate, M&M’s® Red, White, & Blue Peanut and Skittles® Red, White, & Blue layered ever so sweetly throughout this mouthwatering dessert.

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup mixed with M&M’s® Red, White, & Blue Milk Chocolate, M&M’s® Red, White, & Blue Milk Peanuts, and Skittles® Red, White, & Blue
• 1/2 of a slice of Double Chocolate Cherry Brownie (or your favorite box or scratch brownie recipe)
• 1 cup of Cookie Dough Ice Cream (or your favorite ice cream)
• 2-3 sliced fresh strawberries
• 2-3 Maraschino Cherries
• chocolate syrup

Directions on building these brownie parfaits:

Using a parfait glass, start layering the ingredients.

Add about a tablespoon and a half (1 1/2 Tbsp ) of mixed M&M’s® Red, White, & Blue Milk Chocolate, M&M’s® Red, White, & Blue Milk Peanuts, and Skittles® Red, White, & Blue.

Spoon in the chocolate brownie.

Add the ice cream.

Side note: Building an incredibly delicious parfait can be very messy work. 

Continue layering the ingredients until the parfait glass is filled.

Top with sliced strawberries, chocolate syrup, and a Maraschino cherry.

Serve.

Now that you have all the ingredients and directions for making this parfait, you have everything you need to make this fun and sweet red, white, and blue treat!
