Tiramisu Cookie Cups are a delightful fusion of classic tiramisu flavors and chewy cookie texture. These bite-sized treats feature soft, baked cookie cups filled with rich mascarpone cream infused with coffee, and finished with a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant and indulgent dessert perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Cups

  • 2 cups cookie dough (chocolate chip or your favorite kind)

Mascarpone Filling

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1/4 cup brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cookie Cups: Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Press the cookie dough evenly into the cavities of a muffin tin to form small cups. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Allow to cool completely before removing from the tin.
  2. Make Mascarpone Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, cooled brewed coffee, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  3. Fill Cookie Cups: Spoon or pipe the mascarpone cream into each cooled cookie cup, filling them generously.
  4. Dust with Cocoa: Lightly dust the filled cookie cups with cocoa powder using a fine sieve or sifter for a classic tiramisu finish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the cookie cups for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and the filling to set before serving.

Notes

  • You can use store-bought cookie dough to save time or make your own for a personalized flavor.
  • Ensure the coffee used in the mascarpone filling is cooled to prevent the cream from curdling.
  • For extra texture, sprinkle some finely chopped chocolate or espresso beans on top along with the cocoa powder.
  • The cookie cups can be prepared a day ahead and refrigerated until ready to serve.
