Quick Tiramisu

We’ve been craving tiramisu this week, but who wants to hang around the kitchen all weekend making dessert? This 10-minute tiramisu is just as decadent as the original recipe.

Serves: 4

Ingredients

1 package lady fingers sponge cakes

1/2 cup strong black coffee or espresso

2 shot) coffee liqueur (like Kahlua)

2 cups mascarpone cheese

1/2 cup icing sugar, sifted

1/4 cup cocoa powder

Method

1. Paint the lady fingers with the coffee combined with the coffee liqueur using a pastry brush. Line 4 martini glasses with a single layer of ladyfingers, letting the cakes overlap a bit. Press the cakes down a bit to fit the lines of the glass.

2. Beat the mascarpone and sugar together 2-3 minutes. Spoon sweetened mascarpone into glasses.

3. Top glasses off with a cap of the ladyfingers. Use any remaining mascarpone to dot the ladyfinger tops and sprinkle each glass with cocoa powder.

4. Serve with berries on the top (optional).
