INGREDIENTS:
2 cups coarsely grated bittersweet (not unsweetened) or semisweet chocolate (about 6 ounces) 1 cup hazelnuts, toasted, husked, coarsely chopped (4-1/2 ounces) 1/3 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1 cup old-fashioned rolled oats (3 ounces; do not use instant) 1-3/4 cups chilled heavy whipping cream 1/3 cup creme fraiche or sour cream
3 tablespoons sugar 1/3 cup whisky



1 Preheat oven to 350 F. Mix chocolate, hazelnuts, and brown sugar in medium bowl. Spread oats out on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden brown, stirring occasionally, about 7 minutes. Stir hot oats into chocolate mixture (hot oats will partially melt chocolate); set aside until chocolate firms, at least 2 hours.
2 Using electric mixer, beat whipping cream, creme fraiche, and sugar in large bowl until cream mixture holds peaks. Fold in whisky.
3 In each of six 10-12-ounce goblets, layer 1/4 cup cream mixture and 1/4 cup oat mixture; repeat layering. Top each parfait with 1/4 cup cream mixture and sprinkle with oat mixture. Cover parfaits and chill overnight.
