Description
Mason Jar Tiramisu Parfaits are individual servings of the classic Italian dessert tiramisu, served in a mason jar. The traditional tiramisu consists of layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a rich, creamy mascarpone mixture. The twist here is the compact, jarred serving that makes it easier to portion, serve, and even gift.
Ingredients
For the Cream Layer:
-
1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
-
8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese, softened
-
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
-
1 tsp pure vanilla extract
For the Coffee Layer:
-
¾ cup (180 ml) strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
-
1–2 tbsp coffee liqueur (Kahlúa or rum — optional)
For Assembly:
-
About 12–14 ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi), broken in half if needed
-
Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
-
Optional toppings: chocolate shavings, espresso beans, or whipped cream
Instructions
-
Make the Mascarpone Cream:
-
In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
-
In a separate bowl, gently whisk the mascarpone until smooth.
-
Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone until fully combined and fluffy.
-
-
Prepare the Coffee Mixture:
-
Combine brewed coffee and liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish.
-
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture — about 1 second per side so they don’t get soggy.
-
-
Assemble the Parfaits:
-
In each mason jar, layer as follows:
-
A few coffee-soaked ladyfingers (broken to fit the jar)
-
A generous spoonful of mascarpone cream
-
Light dusting of cocoa powder
-
-
Repeat the layers until you reach the top, finishing with a layer of cream.
-
-
Chill:
-
Cover jars and refrigerate for at least 2 hours (overnight is ideal for flavor melding).
