In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the unsalted butter in 20-30 second increments. Let it cool slightly.
Crush the graham crackers into fine crumbs using a food processor or by placing them in a plastic bag and rolling with a rolling pin.
Combine the graham cracker crumbs with the melted butter in a mixing bowl. Stir until evenly combined and the mixture resembles wet sand. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl, pour the whipping cream and add the vanilla extract and powdered sugar. Using an electric mixer, whip the cream until soft peaks form.
Gently fold the mini marshmallows into the whipped cream mixture until evenly distributed. Be careful not to deflate the whipped cream.
In dessert glasses or small serving bowls, create alternating layers of the graham cracker mixture, whipped cream and marshmallow mixture, and chocolate chips. Repeat until the glass is full, finishing with a sprinkle of chocolate chips or graham cracker crumbs on top.
Optionally, garnish each dessert with fresh strawberries for a pop of color and added flavor.
Chill the parfaits in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving to allow the layers to set.
Serve cold and enjoy this creamy, indulgent marshmallow dessert!
