Tiramisu Cookie Cups are a delightful dessert that combines the classic flavors of tiramisu with the fun and convenience of bite-sized cookie cups. These treats feature baked cookie shells filled with rich mascarpone cream and are finished with a dusting of coffee-infused cocoa powder, making them perfect for parties or an elegant after-dinner indulgence.

Ingredients

Scale

Cookie Cups

  • 1 batch of cookie dough (about 2 cups, your choice such as chocolate chip or sugar cookie dough)

Filling

  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/3 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Topping

  • Cocoa powder, for dusting (about 1-2 tablespoons)
  • Optional: espresso powder for extra coffee flavor (1 teaspoon)

Instructions

  1. Prepare Cookie Cups: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Press spoonfuls of cookie dough into the cups of a muffin tin, shaping them to form little cups with walls that hold filling. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and set. Remove from oven and allow to cool completely before removing from the tin.
  2. Make Mascarpone Cream Filling: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened mascarpone cheese, cooled brewed coffee, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract. Whip together until smooth, creamy, and slightly fluffy. Adjust coffee quantity to taste for desired intensity.
  3. Fill Cookie Cups: Spoon or pipe the mascarpone cream filling into each cooled cookie cup, filling them generously.
  4. Dust with Cocoa Powder: Using a fine sieve, dust the filled cookie cups with cocoa powder to add the classic tiramisu flavor and an attractive finish.
  5. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate the filled cookie cups for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld and the filling to firm up slightly. Serve chilled for best taste and texture.

Notes

  • For a stronger coffee flavor, soak the cookie cups lightly with additional brewed espresso before filling.
  • Make the cookie cups a day ahead to save time; store them in an airtight container.
  • Use a piping bag for neat filling presentation.
  • Optionally sprinkle with grated dark chocolate or chocolate shavings along with the cocoa powder for extra richness.
