When creating a Tiramisu trifle, it's crucial to pay attention to the quality of the ingredients. First and foremost, don't skimp on the mascarpone. Its high fat content creates the cream's delicate texture and enveloping density.

The coffee used to steep the savoiardi should also be the richest and most delicious. If you don't usually brew it at home, it's best to buy a good espresso at your local coffee shop.

The cocoa used for tiramisu must be alkalized. It has a more delicate texture and a much more vibrant flavor and aroma than regular cocoa. This ensures a perfect first impression of the dessert.

Homemade Tiramisu Trifle in Cups

Ingredients

Servings

Cheese "Mascarpone"

250 G
Egg C1

2 pcs
Sugar

3 tbsp
Savoyardi cookies

100 G
Strong coffee

150 ml
Cognac

2 tbsp
Cocoa alkalized

2 tbsp

Preparation

Step 1

Take eggs at room temperature and separate the yolks from the whites into different bowls, making sure there are no pieces of shell in them.

Step 2

The bowl for the whites should be clean and completely dry. No yolk particles should get into it, otherwise they simply won't whip. Beat them on medium speed with a pinch of salt until foamy, then increase to high. As soon as the whites begin to form snow, gradually add half the sugar and beat until it's completely dissolved. This will create a thick, stable cream.

Step 3

Beat the yolks with the remaining sugar until a thick cream forms, which will increase in volume and become lighter in color.

Step 4

Add Mascarpone cream cheese and beat until it is completely incorporated into the mixture.

Step 5

Add a third of the egg whites to the cream mixture and fold gently with a spatula to maintain the volume of the cream. Then fold in the remaining egg whites in two more additions, mixing each time from the bottom up.

Step 6

Add the alcohol to the cold coffee and stir well to distribute it evenly. Don't combine it with a hot or warm drink, otherwise the alcohol will evaporate completely.

Step 7

Place the Mascarpone cream in a pastry bag with a wide round tip and pipe the first layer onto the bottom of the glass to a height of about 1 cm.

Step 8

Break the cookies in half, dip them in the coffee mixture and immediately place them on the cream.

Step 9

Cover the savoiardi with another layer of cream and then with soaked biscuits. Alternate layers until the glasses are completely filled.

Step 10

Finish with a layer of cream, then draw circles on top, like a real tiramisu. Then, dust the surface of the dessert with cocoa powder through a sieve.

Step 11

The Tiramisu trifles are ready. Let them sit in the refrigerator for 30-60 minutes to allow the layers to soak in, then serve.

Warm the cheese

Cold mascarpone is very dense and difficult to work with. Remove it from the refrigerator 40 minutes before preparing the cream. This will result in a fluffier and more delicate tiramisu.

Use liqueurs

The original Italian recipe blends coffee with Kahlúa coffee liqueur or Marsala, a bold culinary wine. You can use these instead of cognac and whiskey, or add other liqueurs to create new aromatic bouquets. Children's tiramisu can be made without alcohol entirely if you're concerned about their well-being. However, the alcohol content in the recipe is so minimal that it's completely safe.

If you follow the recipe exactly and don't try to skimp on ingredients, you'll have authentic Italian tiramisu in cups on your table. Believe me, the investment will be worth it from the first spoonful.
