Recipe Information
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)
Instructions
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.
2. Stir in the vanilla extract and fold in the grated dark chocolate gently with a spatula to evenly distribute.
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.
4. To assemble the parfaits, start by spooning a layer of crushed chocolate cookies into the bottom of 4 serving glasses or jars.
5. Add a layer of the mocha cream mixture on top of the cookie crumbs, followed by a layer of the sugared fresh berries.
6. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled, finishing with a dollop of mocha cream on the top layer.
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.
8. Serve immediately for the freshest taste, or chill in the refrigerator for up to 2 hours before serving.
