For this whimsical presentation I used a jelly sized Bell canning jar. I list the ingredients that I used below but really you can dream up and combination you like.
I had kids in mind when I made this dessert, though the flavors can stand up to an adult palate too. First I made a flourless chocolate cake. When it cooled I punched out circles of cake using ring shaped cookie cutters. The bottom of the Bell jar is less wide than the top so I used a slightly smaller ring for the bottom layer.
I scooped small scoops of vanilla ice cream onto a tray and placed it back in the freezer so it will be easier to handle and ready to go when it is time to assemble and serve the dessert.
To assemble I popped the smaller circle of cake into the Bell jar. I topped that layer with a few fresh raspberries and then the ice cream scoop. I added a layer of raspberry sauce and topped that with the larger cake circle.
I topped the whole thing off with fresh whipped cream
It was a hit.
