Mini Tiramisu Cups

Mini Tiramisu Cups are an easy, elegant way to serve up everyone’s favorite Italian dessert. You get all the classic layers with espresso-soaked ladyfingers, fluffy mascarpone cream, and a dusting of cocoa. Made in a cute individual size, so no slicing or scooping needed.

These cups are great for dinner parties or holidays when you want something make-ahead and crowd-pleasing. The coffee flavor is bold but balanced, and the mascarpone filling is silky and not too sweet. They look fancy, but they’re actually super simple to assemble.

Helpful Tips

• Don’t soak the ladyfingers too long. A quick dip keeps them from getting mushy.
• Use cold cream. It whips up faster and holds better.
• Chill thoroughly. Four hours is the minimum, but overnight is even better for flavor and texture.
