Ingredients for 2 People

• 4 sponge fingers (ladyfingers)

• 120 grams of mascarpone cheese
• 1 tablespoon of pure cocoa powder

How to Make Tiramisu Cups (Express Recipe)

• Difficulty: Easy
• Total time: 10 minutes
• Preparation: 10 minutes

1. Prepare the base of the glasses

• Place a broken-up sponge finger in the bottom of each glass.
• Lightly soak the pieces with Quinto coffee.

2. Mix the ingredients:

• Whisk the egg yolk with the icing sugar. If you're using a Thermomix, mix for 2 minutes at speed 3.
• Add the mascarpone and whisk again until smooth. With a Thermomix, mix for 1 minute at speed 3.

3. Assemble the glasses:

• Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the sponge fingers.
• Add a second layer of sponge fingers soaked in Quinto Café coffee and cover them with the remaining cream.

4. Chill

• Put the glasses in the fridge so the cream sets. The longer they rest, the better the result.

5. Decorate and serve

1. Just before serving, dust cocoa powder over the top of each glass.
2. If you like, decorate with coffee beans for an extra touch of elegance.

Tips for a Perfect Tiramisu

• Coffee makes the difference: Use a specialty coffee like Quinto Café for an authentic, deep flavour.
• Make it your own: You can add a dash of liqueur such as Amaretto or rum to the coffee for a special touch.
• Give it time: Although it's a quick recipe, letting the glasses rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours brings out the flavours.
