In a bowl, add mascarpone cheese, cream cheese, vanilla extract, and icing sugar. Mix until smooth.

Transfer the mixture into a piping bag with a star nozzle for easy presentation.

Add dark rye bread into a food processor and chop until crumbly.

Add sugar and cinnamon to the bread crumbs and blitz until mixed.

Heat the bread crumb mixture in a pan for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring with a wooden spoon to prevent burning.

Once the mixture is dry and crumbly, return it to the food processor and blend until finer.

Layer the rye bread crumbs into cups or plates, piping the cream mixture on top.

Add a couple of teaspoons of cranberry jam and spread it around.

Repeat the layering process with more crumbs, cream, and cranberry jam as desired.

Decorate with fresh mint and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
