Tiramisu Ice Cream Parfait

Ingredients

• 2 cups whole / whipping/ heavy cream
• ½ cup mascarpone (remove from fridge 30 minutes prior)
• 1 can sweetened condensed milk (14 ounces)
• 3 or 4 thick slices of cake cut into bite size pieces (heavy crumb eg pound cake)
• ¼-½ cup strong coffee (cold)
• 2-3 tablespoons grated chocolate or cocoa or for sprinkling

Steps

1. 1

   In a medium bowl combine well the mascarpone and sweetened condensed milk.

2. 2

   In a large bowl beat cream until stiff peaks form. Fold the mascarpone mixture into the whipped cream until well combined.

3. 3

   In a small bowl add the cold coffee, dip the pieces of cake in the coffee (quickly so they aren't soaked and fall apart).

4. 4

   Using freezer safe glasses add a layer of coffee dipped cake (3-4 pieces) and top with 2 or 3 heaping spoonfuls of the ice cream mixture, continue for 2 or 3 more layers (depending on the size of the glasses).  Cover with plastic wrap and freeze until firm approximately 3-5 hours or over night.  Sprinkle with grated chocolate if desired before serving.  Enjoy!

5. 5

   If you find the cake is too frozen to eat you can let the parfait thaw for about 30 minutes in the fridge and then serve or you could make the ice cream in a separate container and make the dessert just before serving.
