Description

Ingredients
Scale
For the Ladyfingers and Espresso
- 12 ladyfingers
- 1/2 cup espresso, cooled
For the Cream Layer
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup whipped cream
For Topping
- 1/4 cup cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- Gather Ingredients. Assemble all ingredients including ladyfingers, espresso, mascarpone, whipped cream, and cocoa powder to ensure you have everything ready for quick layering.
- Dip Ladyfingers. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso to soak them slightly without becoming soggy, allowing the coffee flavor to infuse the cookies.
- Layer Ingredients. In individual mini jars or serving glasses, start by placing a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom, followed by a layer of mascarpone cheese, then whipped cream. Repeat if jars are large enough, and finish by generously dusting the top with cocoa powder.
- Chill and Serve. Refrigerate the jars for at least 1-2 hours to meld flavors and achieve the best texture before serving. Enjoy your elegant and easy tiramisu jars!
Notes
- Use cooled espresso to prevent soggy ladyfingers and maintain the cream’s consistency.
- For a richer taste, mix a tablespoon of sugar or a splash of coffee liqueur into the mascarpone.
- Whipped cream can be homemade or store-bought, but freshly whipped cream provides better texture.
- These jars can be prepared a day in advance and stored covered in the refrigerator.
- Use unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting to balance the sweetness of the cream.
