Learn how to make delicious Pistachio Tiramisu Cups. Easy recipe with step-by-step instructions.

Ingredients

Scale

To create these delightful cups, you’ll need a handful of quality ingredients. Here’s what you’ll need:

  • 1 cup shelled pistachios
  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup pistachio liqueur (or substitute with almond extract for a non-alcoholic version)
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies
  • 1 cup brewed espresso, cooled
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Feel free to experiment with substitutions to suit your taste or dietary needs. For instance, you can swap the mascarpone with cream cheese for a slightly tangier flavor.

Instructions

Transforming these ingredients into a dessert masterpiece is both straightforward and rewarding. Follow these steps:

  1. Start by grinding the pistachios in a food processor until they form a coarse powder. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla extract. Beat together until smooth and creamy.
  3. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  4. Add the pistachio liqueur (or almond extract) to the cooled espresso and stir well.
  5. Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soggy.
  6. Layer the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of each serving cup.
  7. Spoon a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by a sprinkle of ground pistachios.
  8. Repeat the layers until the cups are filled, finishing with a generous dusting of cocoa powder and a sprinkle of pistachios on top.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
