Prep Time: 20 mins (plus 2 hrs Chilling)

Serves: 4-6


Few desserts look as impressive with so little effort as a layered parfait. This Sheridan’s Layered Dessert takes inspiration from classic trifles and mousse-style puddings but keeps the focus firmly on Sheridan’s Coffee Layered Liqueur. By combining smooth cream, rich coffee notes, and a hint of chocolate, you create a dessert that’s as stunning to look at as it is to eat. Each spoonful delivers the velvety sweetness of cream and the bold kick of coffee, making it an irresistible dinner party finale.


It’s indulgent, eye-catching, and deceptively simple to prepare — the kind of dessert that feels special but doesn’t demand hours in the kitchen.


Ingredients

  • 150ml Sheridan’s Coffee Layered Liqueur (combined coffee + cream)

  • 250ml double cream (lightly whipped)

  • 200g mascarpone cheese

  • 75g icing sugar

  • 100g chocolate biscuits or sponge fingers (crushed)

  • Cocoa powder or grated chocolate (for garnish)


Method

  1. Whip the double cream until soft peaks form, then fold in the mascarpone and icing sugar until smooth.

  2. In serving glasses, add a base layer of crushed chocolate biscuits or sponge.

  3. Spoon in a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture.

  4. Pour a splash of Sheridan’s over the cream layer to soak in.

  5. Repeat with another layer of biscuits, cream, and Sheridan’s.

  6. Finish with a final layer of cream, smoothing the top.

  7. Chill for at least 2 hours to set.

  8. Dust with cocoa powder or sprinkle with grated chocolate before serving.


Tips for Making the Perfect Sheridan’s Layered Dessert

  • Assemble in clear glasses or jars to show off the beautiful layers.

  • Don’t over-whip the cream — it should be soft and silky.

  • For extra texture, add chopped nuts (like hazelnuts or almonds) between layers.

  • Chill overnight for the flavours to deepen.


FAQs – Sheridan’s Layered Dessert

Can I make this in one large dish instead of individual glasses?

Yes — use a trifle dish for a sharing version.


Can I make this ahead of time?

Definitely — it’s actually better after a night in the fridge.


Can I use flavoured biscuits instead of plain chocolate?

Of course — try ginger biscuits, Oreos, or even amaretti for a twist.


Is this similar to tiramisu?

It shares the layered format, but this dessert is lighter, creamier, and faster to prepare, with Sheridan’s giving a ready-made balance of coffee and cream.


The Sheridan’s Layered Dessert is proof that presentation matters — elegant, creamy, and impossibly tempting, it’s the kind of dish that instantly draws attention to the table. With rich layers of cream, coffee, and chocolate, balanced by the unmistakable smoothness of Sheridan’s, it’s as delicious to eat as it is beautiful to serve. Easy enough for a midweek treat but impressive enough for guests, this is a true all-rounder in the Sheridan’s recipe collection.
