Notes
Tips for assembling jars:
-
- Wash and thoroughly dry your mason jars before adding your ingredients.
-
- Have your cold ingredients ready and in separate bowls for easy assembly.
-
- Place a wide-mouth funnel in the jar to prevent spilling while filling the jars.
-
- Have a clean damp cloth available to wipe the rim and edges of the Mason jar as you are filling it. This will help you create a clean, pretty layered dessert in each jar.
- Add some chocolate chips or shaved dark chocolate on top to take this dessert to the next level.
-
- Cover each jar with a lid and secure it with a ring. Store desserts in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
