If you love Tiramisu, you’ll love Easy Tiramisu Parfaits. This is definitely my take on Tiramisu. When I created this recipe, I couldn’t find ladyfingers in my small town grocery store so I replaced them with Milano Dulce de Leche cookies.
My recipe ideas for Tiramisu Parfaits changed about five times during the creation of this layered dessert. I couldn’t find any mascarpone in my small town. I’m not even going there.
Then I couldn’t find ladyfingers, which is a given in Tiramisu. Even with all of those hiccups, these Easy Tiramisu Parfaits are so delicious.
Since Tiramisu means Pick Me Up, I decided to pick mine up a little more by adding Dulce De Leche Milano Cookies in place of the ladyfingers. I know Dulce De Leche is more of an Argentinian thing, but trust me, these parfaits are amazing.
The Milano cookies add a new dimension to my Easy Tiramisu Parfaits and a whole lot of flavor. Move over, Michelangelo, I’ve created a masterpiece! These Easy Tiramisu Parfaits are pure decadence.
There’s just something about presenting individual desserts that always garners excitement among my guests. Maybe it’s the thought that they get to have the whole thing all to themselves.
Ingredients For Easy Tiramisu Parfait
- strong coffee
- instant vanilla pudding mix (5.1 oz.)
- milk
- cream cheese
- whipped topping
- Milano Dulce de Leche cookies
- chocolate shavings or cocoa powder, optional garnish
How To Make Chocolate Shavings For Tiramisu Parfaits
To make chocolate shavings, place a candy bar in the freezer for one minute.
Use a vegetable peeler to shave the chocolate down the side.
Repeat until you have enough shavings to top the parfaits.
Top with a Milano Cookie and chocolate shavings before serving. My family loves these parfaits!

Ok, these parfaits look amazing, and I love that they are simple to make. Yum!
First time blog visitor! Love your style! I’m a fellow participant in this event, the pasta e’ fagioli soup is mine. Love the dessert, my husband would swoon!
Those look so good, I’d end up eating all of them. I would have to hide the Milanos from my husband or there’d be none left for the parfait.
I have never made anything with the name tiramisu before. This parfait sure looks decadent especially with the dulce de leche cookies! You would think you would be able to find your products in the town but oh well. Maybe next time try ordering online or something if you think of it. I am always on the look for good Italian food since I like preparing something Italian at least one day of the week. But I am usually stuck on a few same recipes!
Love the idea of a parfait! Super cute!
I’m reminded of a lovely lunch and special time I shared with a friend. We were in college, both adults suffering through college together. We left school one day and went to a fancy restaurant and had Tiramisu. Makes me smile. Your recipe is so easy! We are big lovers of Italian at our house!
My husband loves Tiramisu! If it’s this easy to make I would make it all the time for sure. I have tried the real one and that takes some time. This one looks like my husband would actually enjoy it.
I love tiramisu! The hubby tried making one once and it turned out to be a huge nightmare but this looks like it would be a much easier recipe to make.
Can not wait to treat him this time!
Honestly I am not a huge lady finger fan anyway. I LOVE your take on tiramisu. I also love that it’s a cute little parfait. *pinned and FB scheduled Thanks for joining me for my Italian Feast Blog Hop. xxoo, Barb

What’s the saying, creativity is born out of necessity? Who needs marscapone and ladyfingers, anyhow. This recipe looks delicious, and I can’t wait to try it.
This is super cute, I’ve been thinking of spring events and these would be perfect to serve to my guest. I freaking love those cookies.
This looks so good. I don’t think I’ve had Tiramisu before.
these little tiramisu parfaits look so fun and cute! My kids would probably eat these now with the cookies – which are their favorites! I might have to make these for my brother for his birthday – this is his favorite dessert!
First of all, love the photos! I’m actually a big fan of tiramisu and so I will definitely try this at home. Looks so tasty!
How absolutely beautiful and delicious looking! I will be indulging for sure
I have a serious weakness for anything Tiramisu!!! I’ve got a party to go to in a week or so and I think I’m going to make these to bring with me!
Yum! I’ve only had tiramisu once but I loved it. So these look like something I’d love to try to make myself. My husband would be in heaven he’s a tiramisu obsessed!
These look just scrumptious! I can’t believe I have never had tiramisu. You make it look so easy, I’m going to have to try my hand at these!
I love Tiramisu and desserts in glasses so this is just something I know I would love!
Yummm… It looks delicious!! I would love to give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
We love tiramisu in this house…in fact I just made a huge batch last week and stored some in the freezer. I’ve been meaning to make tiramisu parfaits but you just reminded me that I forgot (once again) to make them!! lol!

Hi, this recipe sounds delicious!
Can’t wait to make it.
Question? I can’t find the Dulce milano cookies, is there a substitute we can use?
Thank you!
I’m sure the Milano milk chocolate or double chocolate would work fine!
