5. In 4 parfait cups or small bowls, layer ¼ cup of the coffee pudding on the bottom of each, then ½ oz. cake cubes, ½ tbsp. coffee drizzled over the cake, ¼ cup whipped cream, and ½ tbsp. chocolate.

Or, Try This

1. These parfaits can be made up to 1 day in advance. If you are going to assemble them the day before enjoying, do not add the final layer of whipped cream or chocolate. Cover until ready to serve, then garnish with the final layer of whipped cream and chocolate shavings or chips.
2. 
   
3. Brew the coffee in advance and make sure it is fully chilled in the refrigerator before adding to the recipe.
