Eggless Tiramisu Trifle Cups are a luscious, no-egg dessert featuring coffee-soaked ladyfingers layered with creamy mascarpone and whipped cream, dusted with cocoa powder. Perfect for individual servings, this quick and easy recipe offers all the classic tiramisu flavor and texture without the hassle of eggs, making it ideal for elegant entertaining or a special personal treat.

Ingredients

Base

  • Ladyfinger biscuits – quantity as needed for layering (approx. 12-15)
  • Strong brewed coffee – 1 cup, cooled completely

Cream Layer

  • Mascarpone cheese – 1 cup (about 250g)
  • Whipping cream – 1 cup (240ml), chilled
  • Powdered sugar – 1/4 cup (30g)
  • Vanilla extract – 1 teaspoon

Garnish

  • Cocoa powder – for dusting, about 1-2 tablespoons
  • Optional chocolate shavings – for garnish, as desired

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Coffee Soak: Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool completely. This chilled coffee soaks the ladyfingers without making the dessert soggy.
  2. Whip the Cream and Mascarpone: In a mixing bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until the mixture is smooth and creamy, creating the rich tiramisu filling.
  3. Dip Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the chilled coffee just enough to moisten but not saturate. This gives the trifle its signature coffee flavor and slight softness.
  4. Assemble the Layers: In serving cups, layer coffee-soaked ladyfingers first, followed by a generous layer of mascarpone cream. Repeat these layers until the cups are nearly full.
  5. Chill and Garnish: Refrigerate the assembled trifle cups for at least 2 hours to allow flavors to meld. Just before serving, dust the tops with cocoa powder and add optional chocolate shavings for an irresistible finish.

Notes

  • Do not oversoak ladyfingers; a quick dip preserves texture and prevents mushiness.
  • Use cold mascarpone and cream for fluffier, more stable cream.
  • Fold the mascarpone gently into the whipped cream to retain airiness.
  • Refrigerate to let the layers set and flavors develop fully.
  • Experiment with coffee types like decaf, espresso, or flavored syrups to customize taste.
