Classic Tiramisu Cups (with Vanilla Mascarpone)

Ingredients:

250g Mascarpone
200ml Double cream
60g Icing sugar
2 tsp Vanilla extract
250ml Strong espresso (cooled)
Coffee liqueur – optional
Savoiardi (ladyfinger biscuits)
Cocoa powder – for dusting

Method:

• Whip the double cream to soft peaks.
• Smooth mascarpone with icing sugar and vanilla, then gently fold in the whipped cream for a luxurious, airy cream.
• Mix cooled espresso with a splash of coffee liqueur if using. Quickly dip biscuits in the coffee, keeping them soft but not soggy.
• Layer soaked biscuits in serving glasses, top with mascarpone cream. Repeat layers, finishing with cream on top.
• Chill for at least 4 hours to allow flavours to meld. Dust with cocoa just before serving.
