Ingredients
  • 6 Ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
  • 1/4 cup Strong Brewed Coffee (cooled)
  • 1/2 cup Mascarpone Cheese
  • 2 tablespoons Powdered Sugar
  • 1 tablespoon Cocoa Powder (for dusting)
  • 1 tablespoon Amaretto or Coffee Liqueur (optional)

Coffee Preparation

Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool completely. If using, stir in the Amaretto or coffee liqueur.

Cream Mixture

In a small bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to over-mix.

Assembling the Tiramisu

Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the cooled coffee, being careful not to soak them completely. They should be moist but not soggy.

Break or cut the soaked ladyfingers to fit into the bottom of two small glasses or ramekins.

Spoon half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers in each glass.

Repeat layers with the remaining coffee-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.

Finishing Touch

Dust the top of each tiramisu cup generously with cocoa powder.

Refrigerate for at least 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld (optional, but recommended for a slightly firmer texture).
