Tropical Twist: Coconut Tiramisu Cups Recipe

Coconut Tiramisu Cups

Hey there, foodies! Today, I’m excited to share a unique twist on a classic Italian dessert that’s perfect for a summer treat — Coconut Tiramisu Cups. This recipe combines the rich flavors of traditional tiramisu with the tropical twist of coconut, creating a delicious and refreshing dessert that will surely impress your guests.

To make these Coconut Tiramisu Cups, you will need the following ingredients:

• 400ml coconut milk
• 200ml strong espresso
• 200g ladyfingers
• 50g coconut flakes
• 100g sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 250g mascarpone cheese

For this recipe, you will need the following kitchen tools:

• mixing bowl
• whisk
• measuring cups
• ramekins
• grater

Start by whisking together the coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract in a mixing bowl until well combined. In a separate shallow dish, pour the strong espresso. Dip each ladyfinger into the espresso briefly, making sure not to soak them too much. Place the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of each ramekin.

Next, spread a layer of the coconut milk mixture over the ladyfingers in each ramekin, followed by a layer of mascarpone cheese. Repeat this process until the ramekin is almost full, ending with a layer of coconut milk mixture on top. Sprinkle coconut flakes over the top layer for added texture and flavor.

Once assembled, refrigerate the Coconut Tiramisu Cups for at least 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. When ready to serve, garnish each cup with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or additional coconut flakes for a decorative touch.

The approximate total weight of the cooked dish is 700g, with 6 servings. Each serving is around 117g, with an estimated calorie count of 320 per serving.

A clever tip for this recipe is to toast the coconut flakes before sprinkling them on top of the tiramisu cups. Toasting the flakes will enhance their flavor and add a delicious crunch to the dessert.

I hope you give these Coconut Tiramisu Cups a try and enjoy the unique combination of coconut and tiramisu flavors. Feel free to customize this recipe by adding fruits or nuts to the layers for additional variety. Have fun creating and indulging in this delightful dessert!
