Tiramisu Cream Cups

October 24, 2013 By Betsy Cohen 20 Comments

Desserts Required's Tiramisu Cream Cups have the creaminess of the original tiramisu but with two unusual twists; no ladyfingers and a lovely addition of chocolate liqueur!

Tiramisu Cream Cups

(pin this video for later)

Have you ever made a dessert and couldn’t figure out what to call it? Well, such was the case with this recipe.

I love tiramisu with its cookies and the cream layers. Yet, it was really the cream layer that I was craving; so I decided to make an unusual tiramisu, one without ladyfingers.

At this time of year, it is easier to find chocolate dessert cups in specialty stores and certain grocery stores. As soon as I saw swirled milk and white chocolate flower cups, my dessert came together.

I whipped up the mascarpone mixture and decided I couldn’t resist adding Godiva Chocolate Liqueur. I topped the cups with raspberries. Delicious and beautiful!

It is not even close to traditional, but sometimes it is good to bake outside the box. Or, as is the case here, outside the ladyfingers.

AN ADDITIONAL NOTE….

    These are truly beautiful. I’d imagine if I couldn’t find such gorgeous chocolate cups I could make my own. They don’t come out this pretty but the whole idea is so impressive I don’t think anyone would mind.

      Mary,

      Tiramisu Cream Cups are best served either the day that they are made or the following day.
