Ingredients
Custard Mixture
- 3 egg yolks
- 110 g castor sugar
- 250 ml mascarpone cheese
- 125 ml heavy cream
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
Soaking Liquid
- 125 ml strong coffee
- 50 ml marsala wine
Assembly
- 150 g ladyfingers
- 100 g milk chocolate, chopped
- 4 Ferrero Rocher chocolates, halved
- cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Prepare the Custard Mixture: In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and castor sugar until pale and creamy. Mix in the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.
- Soak the Ladyfingers: Combine the strong coffee and Marsala wine in a shallow dish. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
- Assemble the Tiramisu Cups: In individual serving glasses or cups, layer soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spoon over a generous layer of the mascarpone custard mixture. Repeat the layers as desired, finishing with the custard on top.
- Add the Toppings: Sprinkle the chopped milk chocolate over the top layer of custard. Garnish with the halved Ferrero Rocher chocolates for added texture and flavor.
- Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the tiramisu cups for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set. Before serving, dust the tops lightly with cocoa powder for the classic tiramisu finish.
Notes
- Use fresh, high-quality eggs since the dessert is not cooked.
- Ensure coffee is strong and cooled before soaking the ladyfingers to avoid sogginess.
- You can substitute Marsala wine with coffee liqueur or omit for a non-alcoholic version.
- Chilling time is essential for the best texture and flavor infusion.
- For extra flair, garnish with shaved chocolate or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
