Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 50 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 180 ml Strong brewed espresso (cooled)
- 30 ml Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 12 pieces Ladyfinger biscuits
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 25 grams Dark chocolate (shaved, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or whisk to blend until smooth and creamy.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula. Set this filling aside.
In a shallow bowl, combine the cooled espresso with the coffee liqueur (if using). Stir to mix evenly.
Break each ladyfinger biscuit in half to fit the size of your serving cups.
Quickly dip each piece of ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring it's soaked but not overly soggy.
Layer the soaked ladyfingers in the base of each serving cup. Top with a generous layer of the mascarpone filling (approximately 2-3 tablespoons per layer).
Repeat the layering process until the cups are filled, finishing with a mascarpone layer on top.
Dust the top layer with a thin coating of unsweetened cocoa powder using a small sieve or sifter.
For garnish, sprinkle shaved dark chocolate on top of the cocoa powder.
Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Serve chilled and enjoy your individual tiramisu cups!
