What You’ll Need
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 2 eggs
- 50g granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 250ml heavy cream
- 200ml strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur (optional)
- 10-12 ladyfinger biscuits
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Step 1: Prepare the Mascarpone Cream
In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Add the eggs, sugar, and vanilla extract, and continue beating until well combined. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. Set aside.
Step 2: Assemble the Layers
Begin by dipping the ladyfinger biscuits into the cooled coffee. Be careful not to soak them for too long, as they can become mushy. Place a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of each glass. If desired, drizzle a small amount of coffee liqueur over the ladyfingers for an extra kick.
Next, spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, ensuring an even distribution. Repeat the layers – ladyfingers, mascarpone cream – until the glass is almost full, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream.
Step 3: Chill and Serve
Cover each glass with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if possible. This allows the flavors to meld together and for the ladyfingers to soften slightly.
Before serving, dust the top of each tiramisu with a generous amount of cocoa powder. You can also garnish with chocolate shavings or a sprinkle of cinnamon for added flair. Grab a spoon and enjoy the blissful combination of flavors and textures!
Whether you’re hosting a dinner party or simply treating yourself to a special dessert, this tiramisu in a glass is sure to impress. With its luscious layers of creamy goodness, it’s hard to resist. So why not give it a try? Your taste buds will thank you.
