Preparing Tiramisu 

I prepare my Tiramisu in mini glass bowl.

This recipe makes 8 mini bowls

1. Add a layer of the mascarpone mixture at base of glass bowl.

2. Break the ladyfingers in half & dip them in the coffee mixture. The ladyfingers will.absorb the liquid very quickly. Hence, you need to quickly remove them & lay it onto the base of the bowl, on top of the mascarpone layer. (For visual effects, place ladyfingers closer to the sides of glass.)

3. Add another layer of the mascarpone mixture covering the ladyfingers . Lay another layer of soaked ladyfingers and add final layer of the mascarcpone mixture on top.

4. Repeat step 1 to 3 until you have 8 mini bowls of Tiramisu.

5. Cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 4-6 hours before serving.

6. Sprinkle cocoa powder on top and serve.

Tips 1: Do not soak the ladyfingers too much, only the edges should be soaked, not entirely.

Tips 2: Freeze the Tiramisu if you prefer to eat it like an ice-cream.
