4.8 from 17 reviews

Delightful and easy-to-make Mini Tiramisu Jars featuring layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone, perfect for individual servings and elegant dessert presentations.

Ingredients

Scale

Biscuit Base

  • 68 ladyfinger biscuits
  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee, cooled

Cream Layer

  • ½ cup mascarpone cheese
  • ¼ cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp sugar
  • ½ tsp vanilla extract

Garnish

  • Cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Optional: chocolate shavings or coffee beans for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the cream: In a bowl, whip together the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and slightly fluffy to create a luscious tiramisu cream.
  2. Assemble the jars: Break the ladyfinger biscuits into pieces and place a layer at the bottom of each small jar. Lightly soak them with the cooled strong brewed coffee to infuse rich flavor without becoming soggy.
  3. Add cream layers: Spoon a generous layer of the mascarpone cream over the coffee-soaked ladyfingers. Repeat the layering process according to the jar size, finishing with a top layer of cream for an elegant finish.
  4. Chill: Refrigerate the assembled jars for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the cream to set, resulting in a creamy, balanced dessert.
  5. Serve: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu touch. Optionally, garnish with chocolate shavings or coffee beans to add texture and visual appeal.

Notes

  • Use strong espresso or dark brewed coffee for authentic flavor.
  • Adjust sugar according to your taste preference.
  • Ensure coffee is cooled before soaking the ladyfingers to prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • The dessert can be assembled a day ahead to enhance flavor melding.
  • For a lighter version, use low-fat mascarpone and reduced sugar.
