Chocolate Tiramisu Cake Parfait Recipe


This recipe is for a Tiramisu Cake Parfait, layering cake and a tiramisu cream. This is similar to a mini trifle. This dessert is really easy to make. I used store bought pound cake, eliminating any need for baking.

Traditionally, a parfait in France is a dessert that is frozen and is made with sugar syrup, egg, and cream. The American version of the parfait is prepared by layering cream, ice cream, or gelatin in a clear glass topped with whipped cream. This can also include fruit or liqueurs. Parfaits make a great presentation with minimal work.
