Tiramisu Ice Cream Parfaits, left over cake, cut up pound cake or even lady fingers become the base for this creamy, delicious and creamy No-Bake and No-Churn Ice cream Dessert.

Probably one of the most loved and well known of Italian Desserts! And I must add the Italian’s favourite. Doesn’t matter what flavour he will declare “this is one of my favourites”. He in fact asked why not make an ice cream one? So I did.

With the heat already arrived there is nothing better than a cold No-Bake Dessert with no need to turn on the oven.

How to make it

In a medium bowl combine well the mascarpone and sweetened condensed milk. In a large bowl, beat the cream until stiff peaks form. Fold mascarpone mixture into whipped cream until well combined.

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

What is the best cake to use

The best cake to use is a cake with a dense crumb, such as a pound cake or sponge cake. Because you are dipping it in coffee you don’t want it to fall apart. Or if you prefer then you can always use lady fingers.

What is the best cream to use

Make sure you use whipping cream, or heavy or whole cream. Depending on where you live they may have different names. Make sure there is at least 30% fat content, this will help prevent ice crystals and keep your ice cream soft and creamier.

How to make it using a loaf pan

If you prefer to use a loaf pan or cake pan rather than make a parfait that is also possible. Place a layer of coffee soaked cake on the bottom, top with half the ice cream, drizzle with melted chocolate then add another layer. Freeze until firm. Top with grated chocolate before serving. This can also be done in the reverse, starting with a layer of ice cream.

How to store it

Any leftover dessert should be stored covered in the freezer. It will keep for up to two weeks.
