Tips for the Ultimate Super Bowl Dessert Table

Ingredients

1 cup unsalted butter
2 cups sugar
4 large eggs
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
Zest of 1 orange

Combine the ingredients as per the instructions below for delightful desserts!

Instructions

Prepare the Brownies

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). In a large bowl, melt the butter and mix in the sugar. Add the eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and orange zest until well combined. Pour the batter into a greased baking pan and bake for 25-30 minutes.

Assemble the Parfaits

In serving glasses, layer the whipped cream, mixed berries, and granola. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled. Top with a mint leaf for a fresh touch.

Let the brownies cool before cutting them into squares. Serve the parfaits immediately for the best texture!

Storing Leftovers

If you happen to have any leftovers from your Super Bowl desserts, storing them properly will ensure they stay fresh and delicious. Chocolate Orange Brownies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days. For longer storage, consider refrigerating them, where they can last for about a week.

Fruit and Cream Parfaits are best enjoyed fresh, but if you need to store them, keep the layers separate until you're ready to serve. The granola can become soggy if mixed with the cream and fruit too early. Store whipped cream in a separate container and layer just before serving to maintain that delightful crunch and freshness.

Customizing Your Desserts

One of the best aspects of these Super Bowl desserts is their versatility. Feel free to mix and match flavors to create your unique versions. For the brownies, try adding nuts, chocolate chips, or a swirl of caramel for an extra layer of flavor. You could even experiment with different citrus zest—like lemon or lime—for a refreshing twist.

For the Fruit and Cream Parfaits, consider using yogurt instead of whipped cream for a healthier option. You can also swap out the mixed berries for your favorite fruits, such as peaches or mango, depending on what’s in season. Don’t hesitate to get creative with your toppings—shredded coconut, crushed cookies, or a sprinkle of cinnamon can elevate these parfaits to new heights!
