Add the heavy cream slowly down the side of the bowl. Scrape the bowl. Mix on medium high until stiff peaks form and fluffy. Do not over mix. Store in the refrigerator until you are ready to assemble the mini desserts.

Mix coffee and coffee liquor in a small cup or dish.

Once you have the whipped cream cheese and cream frosting and coffee mixture, it's time to assemble the mini desserts.

Cut the lady fingers in half if necessary then dip in coffee mixture and place on the bottom of the glass. Top with more coffee and a spoonful of cream mixture.

Repeat dipping lady fingers and topping with cream another 1 to 2 times.

Top with cocoa and chocolate shavings.

Chill for at least an hour.

Top Tips

  1. To achieve a creamy and smooth texture in your egg-free tiramisu, make sure to whip the cream cheese with the sugar first, then add the whipping cream and beat until stiff peaks form. This will help create a light and airy filling that resembles the traditional texture of tiramisu, even without the use of eggs.
  2. Use cold coffee to avoid melting the whipped cream and cream cheese filling.

Substitutions and Variations

These egg free mini tiramisu cups are great because you can make so many variations with lady fingers or just one cake sheet. Here are some variations for you to consider:

  • Raspberry White Chocolate Mini Dessert Cups - substitute the coffee/liquor mixture for a white chocolate ganache and add raspberries
  • Birthday Cake Mini Dessert Cups - substitute the coffee/liquor for sprinkles and candy covered chocolate
  • Cookies and Cream Mini Dessert Cups - substitute coffee/liquor for chocolate sandwich cookies and add cocoa powder to you cake batter to make chocolate cake
  • Lemon Curd Mini Dessert Cups - substitute coffee/liquor for lemon curd/custard
  • Apple Crisp Mini Dessert Cups - substitute coffee/liquor for apple crisp/cobbler
  • Gluten Free - use gluten free flour to make your cake gluten free.

Equipment

Equipment has a big impact on how a recipe turns out. For this recipe you will need a stand mixer or a hand mixer. Measuring spoons and cups will also come in handy. You will also need small bowls to hold ingredients when assembling the mini Dessert Cups and disposable cups for serving.

Storage

As you assemble the mini tiramisu cups place them in an 8" round cake pan for easy transport from the counter to the fridge. These mini desserts can be stored in the refrigerator for 3 to 4 days.

It's not recommended that you leave these desserts out for more than one hour as they use whipped cream which can spoil very quickly.

I've never frozen these mini desserts and can't recommend doing so.

Answers to Commonly Asked Questions

Can I omit the liquor in the recipe?

Yes, you can omit the liquor if you prefer a non-alcoholic version. You can replace it with an equal amount of coffee or use liquor extracts for a non-alcoholic alternative.

Can I substitute whipping cream with another type of cream?

Whipping cream works best for its high fat content and ability to hold shape when whipped. However, you can try substituting it with heavy cream or chilled coconut cream for a similar result.

Can I use decaffeinated coffee?

Yes, you can use decaffeinated coffee if you prefer to reduce or eliminate caffeine. It will still provide the desired flavor and moistening effect to the ladyfingers.

How long does tiramisu need to chill before serving?

Tiramisu benefits from some chilling time to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set. It is typically recommended to refrigerate tiramisu for at least 4 hours, but overnight chilling produces the best results.
