Can I make this dessert ahead?
Yes. Assemble up to 4 hours ahead and refrigerate; add whipped cream and berries just before serving to maintain texture.
What type of brownies work best?
Dense, fudgy brownies hold their crumb best when crumbled. Store-bought or homemade both work; ensure they're completely cooled.
Can I substitute the dessert hummus?
Chocolate or vanilla pudding can replace dessert hummus, though hummus adds unique creaminess and protein.
How many servings does this recipe make?
This recipe yields one individual parfait; multiply ingredients by the number of servings desired.
What if I don't have raspberries or blackberries?
Strawberries, blueberries, or fresh cherries work equally well as garnish.
