Tiramisu Waffle Cookie Parfaits 

2 tbsp coffee liqueur

1 cup (8 ounces) mascarpone or cream cheese

1 1/2 cups whipped cream topping

1 1/2 cups powdered sugar

1 tsp vanilla or coffee extract

1 bag Stroopwafels (waffle cookies), crumbled

Beat cheese and sugar with a hand mixer until smooth.  Mix in extract and liqueur.  Gently fold whipped cream into cheese.  Transfer filling to a zip lock bag.  Chill in a refrigerator until time to serve.

To make parfaits, cut the tip of one end of the zip lock bag to create a piping bag.  Pipe mousse into a tall glass to fill about 1/4 way.  Add crumbled waffle cookies to fill about 1/4 way.  Repeat with mousse and top with cookie crumble.

Serve immediately or return to fridge to chill until ready to serve.
