How to Make Tiramisu Parfait

  1. Prepare the coffee: Dissolve instant coffee granules in hot water. Stir until completely dissolved. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes.
  2. Prepare the cream cheese mixture: In a medium mixing bowl, combine softened mascarpone cheese and cream cheese. Beat with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add flavor: Add chilled coffee (2 tablespoons), brown sugar, Splenda, and vanilla extract to the cream cheese mixture. Mix until well combined.
  4. Assemble the parfait: In a 9x13 inch baking dish, pour the remaining chilled coffee.
  5. Dip and layer: Quickly dip half of the angel food cake cubes into the coffee, ensuring they are lightly moistened but not soggy. Remove immediately and place in a medium glass serving bowl.
  6. Layer the cream cheese mixture: Spread half of the cream cheese mixture evenly over the soaked angel food cake.
  7. Add cocoa: Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder.
  8. Repeat layers: Repeat steps 5-7 with the remaining angel food cake cubes, cream cheese mixture, and cocoa powder.
  9. Chill: Cover the parfait and chill in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  10. Serve: Enjoy your delicious and healthy Tiramisu Parfait! Garnish with extra cocoa powder if desired.
