INGREDIENTS

Layers

10 (10) lady fingers halved
¾ cup (¾ cup) brewed coffee

Tiramisu Filling

250 g (1 cups) mascarpone
200 ml (6/7 cups) heavy cream
⅓ cup (⅓ cup) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract
4 tablespoon (4 tablespoon) brewed coffee

Topping

300 ml (1 ¼ cups) heavy cream
4 tablespoon (4 tablespoon) powdered sugar
1 teaspoon (1 teaspoon) vanilla extract more or less
1 tablespoon (1 tablespoon) cocoa powder

INSTRUCTIONS

Prepare the Filling:

In a medium bowl, combine the mascarpone, heavy cream, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and coffee.
Mix with a hand mixer at medium speed until the mixture is fully incorporated and thickens.

Layer the Dessert Cups:

Break the lady fingers in half. Place one half at the bottom of each mini dessert cup. (Adjust the number of cups based on their size and the lady fingers' fit.)
Drizzle the coffee over the lady fingers evenly, using a squeeze bottle for precision.
Spoon half of the tiramisu filling into the cups, dividing it evenly.

Add the Second Layer:

Place another half of a lady finger onto the filling in each cup.
Drizzle with additional coffee.
Top with the remaining tiramisu filling, distributing it evenly among the cups.

Create the Topping:

In a separate bowl, mix the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract at medium speed until the mixture thickens.
Transfer the whipped cream into a piping bag fitted with a plain tip.
Pipe round swirls of whipped cream onto each dessert cup.
Dust the tops of the dessert cups evenly with cocoa powder.

Chill and Serve:

Refrigerate the tiramisu dessert cups for at least 2 hours.
Serve chilled, straight out of the refrigerator.

NOTES

Coffee Choice: Use a coffee that you enjoy drinking. The flavor of the coffee will significantly influence the overall taste of the dessert.

Lady Fingers: If lady fingers are too long for your cups, you can trim them to fit. The goal is to create snug layers.

Piping Technique: For an elegant look, practice your piping on a plate before moving to the cups. Consistency is key for a professional appearance.

Chilling Time: If possible, let the tiramisu cups chill overnight. The flavors meld together beautifully with a bit more time.
