Single-serve desserts in jars, glasses and small bowls are my favourite way to serve something sweet beautifully and without fuss: no cake to assemble and level, everyone gets their own portion, and many of them can be made ahead. I have gathered all of these recipes from the site here - from tiramisu and panna cotta to a light fruit salad.
Tips for desserts in jars
- Build layered desserts in clear glasses so every layer shows.
- Make gelatin-set desserts the day before: they need a few hours in the fridge.
- Small jars with lids are easy to take along - to a picnic or to friends.
