Yummy Magazine and KitchenAid Cooking Workshop: Sharing the Recipes

I saw the event posted in Yummy Magazines' Facebook Fan Page about the Yummy Magazine and KitchenAid Cooking Workshop where over 1,000 has signed up but only the first 35 avid readers could be accommodated. Luckily, I was invited to attend the workshopheld at Enderun Colleges in Bonifacio Global City so I'll share the recipes here.

Then, a pair of a top food blogger and avid reader was made to participate in creating their own rendition of the Triple Chocolate Parfait. To my surprise, I got chosen. I was never the type to settle for the same as the others so me and my partner Kathlene made a unique Triple White Chocolate Strawberry Parfait.

For our base layer, we had the brownie crumble (used KitchenAid Hand Mixer to mash them) for a soft, rich and chewy oomph finish.
On top of it is a creamy and tarty strawberry white chocolate (used KitchenAid Hand Mixer to mix the melted white chocolate with strawberry bits) .
To contrast the creaminess, we made a nutty peanut and oreo cookie crumble (used KitchenAid Hand Mixer to crush the peanut and oreo cookie crumble) .
Then, we had a thinlayer of the chocolatey crunchy oreo with a hint of nutty peanut white chocolate cream (used KitchenAid Hand Mixer to finely crush the oreo cookies, peanuts and mix it with the melted white chocolate) .
The first top layer being the same strawberry white chocolate cream.
For our toppings, we had the colorful crunchy m&m's, crushed oreo crumble and chocolate fudge glaze topped with with 1 bar of milk chocolate and 1 bar of white chocolate.

I've never used the KitchenAid Hand Mixer before. Aside from my difficulty in opening them (needed assistance =/), I really loved it for being so powerful, easy to use and simple to clean. Cleaning is actually my biggest consideration because I'm so lazy! I liked the S-blade that we used will just be placed on top of the container and from therein, I just have to attach the hand blended. Unlike the conventional blender where you have to tightly screw in the blades, this is way better.
