Tips & Tricks for Gluten-Free Cake Jar Perfection:

  • Get Creative with Layers: You can add other delicious layers, like a swirl of whipped cream (use a dairy-free version for those who need it!), a drizzle of caramel sauce, or even some fresh berries.
  • Dietary Adaptations:
    • Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free chocolate sandwich cookies, dairy-free butter substitute, and dairy-free hazelnut spread. Ensure your dark chocolate for shavings is also dairy-free.
    • Vegan: Requires the dairy-free adaptations plus checking the ingredients of your gluten-free cookies and hazelnut spread to ensure they are vegan as well.
  • Make Ahead Magic: These cake jars can be made up to 24 hours in advance. Just store them in the refrigerator until you're ready to serve.
  • Presentation is Key: Use pretty jars, tie a ribbon around them, or add a little tag with a personalized message. A little extra effort goes a long way!
  • Portion Control: This recipe makes about 6-8 small jars, depending on the size of your jars. Adjust the recipe accordingly if you need to serve more or fewer people.
