With a new year comes new trends. If you’ve been going to cafes, weddings or just browsing through Facebook and Instagram, you will have seen the latest food trend: dessert in a jar.

Not only is the presentation oh-so-pretty (we can stare at the layers all day), they are also hassle-free and more convenient to eat at events since guests do not have to get their hands dirty. Be prepared to drool below.

Red Velvet Cupcakes Jar
Three layers of sexy red velvet cake alternates with another three layers of cream cheese frosting. This is finished with the sprinkling of some heart-shaped candies–guaranteed to make the recipient’s heart race.

Banana Dark Chocolate Jar
As one of the pioneers in Singapore specialising in dessert jars, Grin Affair has one of the most delectable selection of dessert jars. This decadent treat is made up of a cocoa cookie crust, layers of chocolate sponge cake, dark chocolate mousse with banana slices and topped with salted caramel and almond nibs. We recommend that you have a light meal before digging into this.

Gula Meleka Cheesecake Jar
There’s gula meleka in drinks, gula meleka in nonya kuehs and now there’s gula meleka cheesecake dessert in a jar! Three layers make up this drool-inducing treat: a desiccated coconut base, gula meleka cream cheese and a drizzle of palm sugar syrup.

Mini Grasshopper Pie Jar
For the mint lovers, this is a dessert dedicated to you. Smooth and velvety Creme de Menthe mousse is complimented with an Oreo cookie base crust. Topped with a dollop of whipped cream and chocolate shavings, it’s exactly like eating chocolate mint cookies, except better.

Mango Coconut Chia Pudding
If you’re more health conscious, fret not for there’s something for you too. Packed with antioxidants, fiber, quality protein and low on calories, chia seeds are immensely popular among the health junkies. Look at that heaping pile of mango cubes; it makes us want to take a spoon and dive into our screen.
