This recipe for Tiramisu Pudding is a lighter and easier-to-make version of the classic Italian dessert. It combines the rich flavors of coffee, chocolate, and mascarpone cheese into a creamy and indulgent pudding.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon instant espresso powder
- 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 14 ladyfingers, broken into pieces
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions:
- Prepare the coffee mixture: In a large bowl, combine the cooled coffee, instant espresso powder, granulated sugar, and confectioners’ sugar. Stir until the sugars dissolve completely.
- Whisk the mascarpone and heavy cream: In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Gradually add the heavy cream and continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Combine the mixtures: Gently fold the coffee mixture into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
- Assemble the pudding: In individual serving glasses, layer the broken ladyfingers and the coffee mixture. Repeat the layers until the glasses are filled.
- Top with the mascarpone mixture: Spoon the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top of each pudding.
- Dust with cocoa powder: Dust the top of each pudding with unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Chill and serve: Refrigerate the puddings for at least 2 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. Serve chilled.
