Ingredients
Scale
Mascarpone Mixture
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 package ladyfingers (about 24–30 pieces)
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the mascarpone mixture: In a large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and powdered sugar. Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer, whip the mixture until soft peaks form, ensuring it is smooth and fluffy.
- Dip the ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled brewed coffee just long enough to soak but not become soggy. The ladyfingers should be moist but still hold their structure.
- Layer the cups: Place a layer of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of individual serving cups or glasses. This will form the base of the dessert.
- Add mascarpone layers: Spoon a generous layer of the whipped mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers—ladyfingers followed by mascarpone mixture—until the cups are filled, ending with a mascarpone layer.
- Chill and dust: Dust the top of each cup with cocoa powder to add classic tiramisu flavor and a beautiful finish. Refrigerate the cups for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set before serving.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for a more intense coffee flavor.
- If you prefer a boozy tiramisu, add a tablespoon of coffee liqueur like Kahlúa to the brewed coffee.
- Serve chilled and consume within 2 days for the best texture and freshness.
- For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with whipped coconut cream to make it dairy-free and vegan-friendly.
- Ensure ladyfingers are dipped quickly to prevent them from becoming too soggy.
