Tony’s Cinnamon Vanilla Tiramisu Cups

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy cream
• 8 oz mascarpone cheese, room temperature
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1 tablespoon Cinnamon Vanilla Salted Perfection
• 1 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
• 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional but highly recommended)
• 24 ladyfinger cookies
• Cocoa powder for dusting
• Dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

1. Chill a large mixing bowl and beaters in the freezer for 10 minutes – cold gear whips better, capisce?
2. In the chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with half the sugar and Cinnamon Vanilla Salted Perfection until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, beat mascarpone with remaining sugar until smooth and creamy, no lumps, like a smooth operator.
4. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined. Don’t overdo it, keep it light and airy.
5. Mix espresso and coffee liqueur in a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger—don’t soak ‘em or they’ll turn to mush, understand?
6. Layer dipped ladyfingers in 4 individual cups or ramekins, covering the bottom with a solid base.
7. Spoon half the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, spreading evenly. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and finish with remaining mascarpone cream.
8. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you wanna impress the famiglia.
9. Just before serving, dust tops with cocoa powder and sprinkle dark chocolate shavings for that extra kick.
