Mini tiramisu cups are a delightful, single-serve version of the classic Italian dessert. They combine layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone filling, and a dusting of cocoa powder for a perfectly balanced treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, mix the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur if using.
  2. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for 1-2 seconds, then place one at the bottom of each serving cup.
  3. In a bowl, beat the mascarpone, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until smooth and fluffy.
  4. Spoon or pipe the mascarpone mixture over the soaked ladyfingers.
  5. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone.
  6. Chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
  7. Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.

Notes

  • Use high-quality cocoa powder for best results.
