Ingredients
- 240 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 30 grams Dark chocolate, finely grated
- 300 grams Mixed fresh berries (strawberries, raspberries, blueberries)
- 10 grams Granulated sugar
- 120 grams Chocolate cookies (crushed)
- 1 teaspoon Unsweetened cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
1. In a medium mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, powdered sugar, and instant coffee granules. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture on high speed until soft peaks form and the texture is creamy and fluffy.
Step 2
2. Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the grated dark chocolate gently with a spatula to evenly distribute.
Step 3
3. In a separate small bowl, toss the mixed fresh berries with the granulated sugar. Let the berries sit for 5 minutes to release their natural juices.
Step 4
4. To assemble the parfaits, start by spooning a layer of crushed chocolate cookies into the bottom of 4 serving glasses or jars.
Step 5
5. Add a layer of the mocha cream mixture on top of the cookie crumbs, followed by a layer of the sugared fresh berries.
Step 6
6. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of mocha cream on the top layer.
Step 7
7. To garnish, dust the top with a light sprinkle of cocoa powder if desired and add a few additional berries or a small piece of dark chocolate as a decorative touch.
Step 8
8. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
