Mini Tiramisu Cups are an elegant no-bake dessert that layers coffee-soaked ladyfingers with a creamy mascarpone filling. Served in individual portions, they deliver the classic tiramisu flavor in a convenient and visually appealing format.

Ingredients

  • 18–20 ladyfinger cookies
  • 1 cup (240 ml) brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 8 oz (225 g) mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy whipping cream
  • 1/3 cup (65 g) granulated sugar
  • 3 large egg yolks
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Brew strong coffee or espresso and allow it to cool completely.
  2. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale and slightly thickened.
  3. Add mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  6. Quickly dip ladyfingers into the cooled coffee, making sure not to oversoak.
  7. Break the ladyfingers as needed and place a layer at the bottom of each cup.
  8. Spoon a layer of mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
  9. Repeat the layers, finishing with cream on top.
  10. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
  11. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.

Notes

  • Chilling overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
  • Do not oversoak ladyfingers to avoid soggy layers.
  • Pasteurized eggs can be used if preferred.
  • Use a piping bag for cleaner, more defined layers.
