Tips:

- 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.
