Mini Tiramisu Cups Recipe

Make the Mascarpone Cream

1. In a large bowl, beat cold heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla until stiff peaks form.
2. In another bowl, whisk mascarpone until smooth.
3. Gently fold whipped cream into mascarpone until fully combined and airy.

Prepare the Coffee Dip

• Mix coffee (or espresso) with coffee liqueur, if using, in a shallow dish.

Assemble the Cups

1. Break ladyfingers into pieces that fit into your mini cups.
2. Dip each piece briefly into the coffee mixture (don’t soak, or they’ll get soggy).
3. Place a layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of each cup.
4. Spoon or pipe a layer of mascarpone cream over the biscuits.
5. Repeat with another biscuit layer, then finish with cream.

Garnish & Chill

• Dust the tops generously with cocoa powder and add chocolate shavings if desired.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 3–4 hours (or overnight for the best flavor).

Serve

• Serve chilled, with tiny dessert spoons for the cutest presentation.

Tips for Mini Tiramisu Cups

• Don’t oversoak the ladyfingers — a quick dip is all they need.
• Use clear cups or jars to show off the beautiful layers.
• Make them alcohol-free by skipping the coffee liqueur.
• They can be made up to 2 days ahead, making them perfect for entertaining.
