Mini Mascarpone Tiramisu Cups (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Mascarpone Cream
01 -
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
02 -
1/3 cup white sugar
03 -
1 cup rich mascarpone cheese
04 -
1 cup thick heavy cream
→ Coffee Soaking Mixture
05 -
2 tablespoons sugar
06 -
2 tablespoons coffee liqueur if you like it boozy
07 -
1 cup super strong brewed coffee or espresso
→ Assembly
08 -
12 crisp ladyfinger cookies
# Instructions:
01 -
Dump the mascarpone into a big bowl, add your sugar, then gently fold them together with a spatula till you can't see sugar anymore.
02 -
Get your heavy cream and vanilla in another bowl, then whip them up until they get soft and fluffy peaks.
03 -
Now, slowly work the whipped cream into the mascarpone mix. Be gentle and keep going until it's blended and creamy.
04 -
Let one cup of water come to a boil, then cool off a bit. Mix in the coffee or espresso and sugar, stir so the sugar's gone. Add the coffee liqueur if you wanna, and let it sit till it's not hot anymore.
05 -
Dip the ladyfingers real quick in the cooled coffee mixture. Don't let them soak too long or they'll get messy.
06 -
Drop a layer of your dipped ladyfingers inside each cup or ramekin you’re using.
07 -
Pile on a hefty scoop of mascarpone cream right on top of the ladyfingers in every cup.
08 -
Keep layering soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream, but make sure to end with a thick layer of cream.
09 -
Pop your cups in the fridge for a good 4 hours or more. This helps all the flavors mix together before you dig in.
# Notes:
01 -
Don't want booze? You can swap the coffee liqueur for more vanilla, or just skip it.
02 -
If you'd rather skip dairy, coconut cream can stand in for the mascarpone, and use coconut or soy instead of heavy cream.
