Easy Tiramisu Cups
This Easy Tiramisu Cups recipe is a simple, delightful twist on the classic Italian dessert, perfect for individual servings and effortless entertaining.
Servings: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- 36 Nabisco Nilla Wafers
- 1/2 cup strongly brewed coffee
Instructions
- Begin by brewing a strong cup of coffee. Allow it to cool slightly before you use it to soak the cookies.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and granulated sugar. Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium speed until it’s smooth and creamy.
- Slowly pour in the 2% milk while continuing to mix. Beat until the mixture is well combined and has a velvety texture.
- Take the Nabisco Nilla Wafers and briefly dip each one in the cooled coffee, ensuring they soak up the flavor but don’t become soggy.
- In your small cups or dessert glasses, place a layer of the coffee-soaked Nilla Wafers at the bottom. Follow with a layer of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a layer of the mascarpone.
- Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you have the time. This allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- Before serving, dust the tops of your tiramisu cups with unsweetened cocoa powder for a beautiful presentation. Enjoy your Easy Tiramisu Cups chilled!
