Tirimasu Cup Ingredients

Method

Tirimasu Cup Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cream Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it becomes smooth and creamy, about 3-5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Ladyfingers

    Dip each ladyfinger cookie briefly into the cooled espresso coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange a layer of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of serving cups.

  3. 3

    Layer the Mixture

    Spoon a layer of the cream mixture over the ladyfingers in each cup. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of the cream mixture on top.

  4. 4

    Chill

    Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible, to allow the flavors to meld.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top of each tiramisu cup with cocoa powder and sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings for garnish.
