Mini Tiramisu Cups (Printable Version)

# What You'll Need:

→ Mascarpone Cream

01 - 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
02 - 1/3 cup granulated sugar
03 - 1 cup heavy cream
04 - 1 cup mascarpone cheese

→ Coffee Soaking Mixture

05 - 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
06 - 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (throw it in if you want)
07 - 1 cup super strong coffee or bold espresso

→ Assembly

08 - 12 ladyfingers

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Pop your filled cups in the fridge and ignore them for at least 4 hours so everything gets cozy together.
02 - Go back and forth between layered soaked ladyfingers and the creamy mascarpone mix, then top it all off with one more layer of cream.
03 - Pile a good amount of the mascarpone mix over your ladyfingers in every cup.
04 - Lay out a bottom layer of ladyfingers that you've already dipped, right at the base of your serving container.
05 - Dunk every ladyfinger super quick in your coffee mix. You want 'em damp, not falling apart.
06 - Heat up a cup of water and let it chill a bit. Mix in your strong coffee and sugar, stirring until the sugar's gone. Toss in a shot of liqueur if you want. Let this cool off to room temp.
07 - Little by little, gently mix your whipped cream into the mascarpone and sugar blend, being careful not to overdo it. You want it nice and fluffy.
08 - In another bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla. Stop when you see soft peaks start to form.
09 - Grab a big bowl and stir mascarpone and sugar together with a spatula, folding until everything's one smooth mix.

# Additional Tips:

01 - Skipping booze? Just add some extra vanilla or go without.
02 - Need a non-dairy option? Use coconut cream instead of mascarpone, and go with coconut or soy cream to swap out heavy cream.
