Method
 

How to Make New Year's Eve Parfaits
  1. Prepare Raspberry Mixture: In a small bowl, combine the natural raspberry preserves with the thawed frozen raspberries. Stir gently until you achieve a slightly chunky texture, letting those fabulous flavors meld together.
  2. Make Chambord Whipped Cream: In a mixing bowl, whip the cold cream with a hand mixer until it thickens. Add sugar gradually, then incorporate the Chambord liqueur until stiff peaks form.
  3. Assemble Parfaits: In a clear glass or parfait cup, layer the ingredients starting with cubed pound cake. Drizzle with Grand Marnier, add the raspberry mixture, and pipe in the Chambord whipped cream. Repeat layers until filled, topping with a maraschino cherry and sparkle.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled parfaits for up to 4 hours before serving.
