Notes
Don't overwhip the cream: Once whipped and fluffy, gently fold it into the spiced mascarpone.
Make ahead: Tiramisu is typically refrigerated for 2-3 hours before serving for the flavors to mingle and intensify. This recipe however can be enjoyed straight away or you can let it rest in the fridge for up to 8 hours or overnight.
Storage: Leftover tiramisu cups lasts up to 2 days in the fridge. This recipe doesn’t include raw eggs which makes it safer to store.
