- Lady finger cookies (amount will vary based on the vessel you use!)
- 4 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 Tbsp dark rum
- 2 Tbsp sugar
- 1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup very hot water
- 1 Tbsp instant espresso powder
- 1-2 Tbsp cocoa pwoder
Instructions
- Start by making the espresso mixture: add espresso powder to 1/2 cup very hot water. Stir to combine and set aside as you prepare the other ingredients.
- Add heavy cream and vanilla to a medium bowl. Use a hand mixer to whip the cream until soft peaks form.
- Add mascarpone cheese, rum, and sugar to a separate medium bowl. Use your hand mixer to combine this mixture. Fold whipped cream into the mascarpone gently. Set aside.
- Break lady finger cookies up to fit inside the glass dishes you will serve your tiramisu in. Do one layer of biscotti on the bottom of each dish. Using a pastry brush, brush each biscotti cookie with the espresso mixture.
- Top with a couple of spoonfuls of the mascarpone mixture. Continue this process: brush lady fingers with espresso, and top with mascarpone mixture until all ingredients are gone.
- Dust each tiramisu with cocoa powder. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour and up to 24 hours in advance.
