Description

Mini Tiramisu Cups are the perfect bite-sized version of the classic Italian dessert, offering layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone filling, and a dusting of cocoa powder. These individual servings are a quick and easy way to enjoy tiramisu without the hassle. Ideal for parties, gatherings, or a sweet treat, these mini tiramisu cups are sure to impress your guests!

Ingredients

For the mascarpone filling:

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the espresso-soaked ladyfingers:

  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled

  • 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional, for extra flavor)

  • 1 package ladyfingers (about 24, depending on the size of your cups)

For assembling:

  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, for dusting

  • Dark chocolate shavings or cocoa powder (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the mascarpone filling:

    • Beat the heavy cream in a large mixing bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form (be careful not to over-whip).

    • In another bowl, whisk together mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream. Set aside.

  • Prepare the espresso-soaked ladyfingers:

    • In a shallow dish, combine cooled coffee or espresso with coffee liqueur (optional). Stir well.

    • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring not to soak them too long—just a quick dip. Arrange the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of your serving cups, breaking them into smaller pieces if needed.

  • Assemble the mini tiramisu cups:

    • Add a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of each serving cup. Top with a spoonful of the mascarpone cream, smoothing into an even layer.

    • Repeat the layers (ladyfingers and mascarpone cream) until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream on top.

  • Chill the cups:

    • Refrigerate the tiramisu cups for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to firm up.

  • Finish with cocoa powder:

    • Just before serving, dust the top of each mini tiramisu cup with cocoa powder. Garnish with dark chocolate shavings or more cocoa powder for an added touch.

  • Serve and enjoy:

    • Serve chilled and enjoy the rich, creamy, coffee-infused goodness of mini tiramisu cups!

Notes

To make , simply omit the coffee liqueur and use vanilla extract or flavored syrups.For a chocolatey twist, try adding chocolate-flavored ladyfingers or cocoa powder to the mascarpone filling.Make ahead and chill for the best flavor; the dessert is even better the longer it sits.
