Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Fresh cherries (pitted and halved)
- 1 cup Mascarpone cheese
- 0.5 cup Heavy cream
- 0.25 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 cup Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 8 pieces Ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
- 1 tablespoon Cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate (grated, optional)
Instructions
In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat with an electric mixer on medium speed until the mixture is smooth and fluffy. Set aside.
Place the cooled coffee in a shallow dish. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee for 1-2 seconds, ensuring they are slightly soaked but not soggy. Cut the ladyfingers in half to fit into serving glasses if needed.
Assemble the tiramisu cups by layering the ingredients. Start with a layer of soaked ladyfinger pieces at the bottom of each glass.
Spoon a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, spreading it evenly. Then add a layer of fresh cherries.
Repeat the layers (ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, cherries) until the glasses are filled, ending with a layer of the mascarpone cream on top.
Dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle grated dark chocolate for garnish, if desired.
Refrigerate the cups for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve chilled and enjoy!
