Ingredients:

For the Pudding:

  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon coffee extract (optional)

For the Coffee Mixture:

  • 1 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)

For Assembly:

  • 12 ladyfinger cookies
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
  • Dark chocolate shavings or grated chocolate for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Pudding:
    • In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and coffee extract (if using) until smooth and creamy. Be careful not to overwhip; you want a silky texture.
  2. Make the Coffee Mixture:
    • In a shallow dish, combine the cooled espresso or coffee with the coffee liqueur (if using). Stir to mix well.
  3. Assemble the Cups:
    • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Lay them in the bottom of your serving cups (about 4-6 cups, depending on size).
  4. Layer the Pudding:
    • Spoon a layer of the mascarpone pudding over the soaked ladyfingers, spreading it evenly.
  5. Repeat Layers:
    • Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by another layer of pudding. Repeat until you reach the top of the cups, finishing with a layer of pudding.
  6. Chill:
    • Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best flavor and texture.
  7. Serve:
    • Just before serving, dust the tops with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired. Enjoy your delightful Tiramisu Pudding Cups!
