Ingredients:
Instructions:

a. Spoon the mixture into parfait glasses or a serving dish.
b. Place in the refrigerator to chill for at least 2 hours or until set.

b. Once melted, spread the white chocolate thinly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
c. Let it set until firm. You can speed up the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
d. Once firm, break the chocolate into shards or use a knife to cut it into desired shapes.

Tips:
- Ensure the egg whites are at room temperature before whisking to achieve maximum volume.
- Use a metal or glass bowl for whipping the cream; it helps maintain the cold temperature and supports better whipping.
- Gently fold the raspberry puree into the whipped cream mixture to maintain the airy texture of the parfait.
- To create the perfect chocolate shards, melt the white chocolate slowly over a double boiler and spread it thinly on parchment paper before letting it set and breaking it into pieces.
- Chill the parfait in the fridge for at least 4 hours or, ideally, overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set properly.
- For an extra burst of flavor, consider adding a splash of raspberry liqueur to the raspberry puree.
