Ingredients
- For the cream:
- 1 ¼ cup Mascarpone cheese (300 grams)
- ¾ cup icing sugar (100 grams)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 2 tablespoons Marsala wine (or Kahlua, dark rum, brandy)
- 2 tablespoons freshly brewed espresso coffee
- 1 ¼ cup heavy cream, 35% fat, cold (300 grams)
- For the chocolate sauce:
- ¼ cup heavy cream (60 grams)
- ¼ cup chopped chocolate (60 grams)
- For the rest:
- 21 ladyfingers (or the same amount of cake or sweet bread pieces)
- 4 tablespoons espresso coffee
- 2 tablespoons Marsala wine (or Kahlua, dark rum, brandy)
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Make the cream: Transfer the Mascarpone, the icing sugar, the vanilla, the coffee and the Marsala to the bowl of your stand mixer and beat with the whisk attachment until combined (you can also use a hand mixer).Gradually add the cold cream and continue beating until the mixture is light and fluffy and soft peaks form.
- Make the chocolate sauce: In a small saucepan, gently heat the cream with the chocolate until the chocolate melts and the mixture is smooth. Set aside.
- Build the Tiramisu cups: Combine the coffee and the liqueur in a plate.Break the ladyfingers in the middle and very briefly (almost instantly) dip them in coffee mixture. Place 3 pieces at the bottom of each cup/glass.Top the ladyfingers with 2 full tablespoons of the Mascarpone cream and drizzle some of the chocolate sauce on top.Repeat with the rest of the ladyfingers (soaked) and the cream.
- Cover the cups with plastic wrap and store in the fridge for 2-3 hours or longer.Dust with unsweetened cocoa powder just before serving (to avoid condensation).
Notes
- If you're making this recipe after Easter, the chocolate sauce is the perfect way to use some left-over chocolate eggs.
- Traditional Italian Tiramisu recipe is made with Mascarpone cheese and it's amazing. However, if you can't find Mascarpone, you can use your regular cream cheese (but not a low-fat one). It will not be exactly the same, but it will still be delicious.
