To make the ganache, chop the remaining 200g of dark chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl

In a saucepan, heat the heavy cream and 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter over medium heat until it just begins to simmer

Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2 minutes, then stir until smooth and glossy

Let the ganache cool slightly, then pour it over the cooled cupcakes

Allow the ganache to set for about 30 minutes before serving

Instructions:

In a saucepan, combine Arborio rice, whole milk, heavy cream, sugar, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt

Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, stirring constantly to prevent the rice from sticking to the bottom of the pan

Reduce heat to low and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes or until the rice is tender and the mixture thickens to a creamy consistency

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks

Slowly add a ladle of the hot rice mixture to the egg yolks, whisking continuously to temper the eggs

Pour the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan, stirring well to combine

Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the custard thickens further

Remove from heat and let the custard rice pudding cool to room temperature

Assemble the parfait by layering the custard rice pudding with whipped cream and crushed graham crackers in serving glasses or bowls

Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of whipped cream on top

Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving

Garnish with fresh berries just before serving
