A creamy and delicious Cappuccino Cookie Parfait, made with crushed Lady Fingers and a delicate Italian Coffee Pastry Cream. Just like a cappuccino only better!

An easy and delicious Tiramisu type Parfait, Cappuccino Cookie Parfait is the perfect homemade dessert recipe.

Two weeks ago for our monthly Tasty Creations Blog Hop I made an Amazing (haha pat myself on the back I will!) Coffee Pastry Cream that was out of this world. And do you know why I know it was that good? Because the Italian said so! 🙂

After I made this cream I knew I had to make a dessert that wouldn’t hide the cream, nothing baked or frozen, something simple, a No-Bake Parfait would be perfect, a little like  a Tiramisu in a glass.

I decided on an Italian Lady Finger Cookie, no need to add butter or sugar. I crumbled it up in my Food Processor. I also whipped up some more cream to add to the Italian Coffee Pastry Cream to give it more of a delicate Cappuccino flavour.  It worked.

I was going to start the layers with the cookie crumbs but my husband thought I should start with some whipped cream then Coffee Pastry Cream and finally the cookie crumbs.

I did two layers and of course a little whipped cream to finish it off.When the warmer weather starts to come around and we start craving ice cream (ok who am I kidding we always crave ice cream).

There is this one type that we all love “Coppa di Nonno” it is one of the best store-bought Cappuccino Ice Creams I have ever eaten.

My daughter was the first to try the Cappuccino Cookie Parfait and what did she compare it to, you got it Coppa di Nonno, victory was mine.

Without saying a word I gave the Italian his Parfait and what came out of his mouth the same darn thing. So yes, as they say in Italian my “Capolavoro”, my Masterpiece, haha, don’t get me wrong every recipe I post I have made over and over and as all things some are more loved than others.

This dessert has become one of our favourites. Simple but absolutely delicious. Enjoy!

        Yum!! I looks scrumptious. I think that is why I love ice cream. Smooth and creamy and oh so satisfying!! If any dessert will tempt me it is a treat like your parfait or ice cream. And YAY!! I’m back on your roster. I love your format — looks fantastic. I especially like your recipe format. I don’t believe I’ve seen anything similar — is it a WordPress plugin? Your photos get five drools 🙂
