TIRAMISU "CUP"CAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F and place 6 lightly buttered oven-safe 4-ounce coffee cups on a rimmed baking sheet.
• Sift the flour, baking powder and salt into a medium bowl and set aside. In the bowl of a stand mixer on medium-high speed, beat the eggs for 4 minutes. They will begin to lighten in color and become frothy. Add the granulated sugar and continue to beat for an additional 4 minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low and stir in the flour mixture until just combined. Then mix in the melted butter, milk and 1/2 teaspoon of the vanilla. Divide the batter among the cups and bake until the tops are golden brown, lightly spring back to the touch and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 25 to 30 minutes.
• While the cupcakes bake, mix together 1/4 cup of the confectioners' sugar, the liqueur, espresso powder, cocoa powder and hot water, and stir until dissolved.
• When the cupcakes come out of the oven, poke 8 to 10 holes in each using a wooden skewer. Evenly but slowly spoon the coffee syrup over each cupcake. Let cool completely.
• When the cupcakes are cool, beat the mascarpone with the heavy cream and the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar and remaining 1/4 teaspoon vanilla until soft peaks form. Divide among the cupcakes. Garnish each cupcake with a dusting of cocoa powder and/or chocolate shavings if using.

INDIVIDUAL TIRAMISU CUPS

Steps:

• Whip cream to medium-firm peaks. Fold in vanilla extract, cover and refrigerate.
• Break ladyfingers in half, so they will fit into the jars.
• Whisk sugar and egg yolks in a double boiler over simmering water, until the mixture reaches 160 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer and it appears ribbony and lighter in color. Transfer to a stand mixture with a whisk attachment, and beat for 5 minutes until thoroughly lightened and cooled.
• Place mascarpone into large mixing bowl. Stir in 2 TB. marsala and 1 ½ teasp. rum. Add a spoonful of the whipped cream and stir in gently to lighten the mixture. Fold in HALF of the remaining whipped cream.
• Prepare soaking liquid: Combine cooled coffee and next 3 ingredients in a wide shallow dish.
• To build individual portions, prepare six half-pint canning jars, and have lids and rings ready. Place mascarpone cream into a gallon-size zip top bag and snip off corner to make it easy to pipe into jars. (You will make 3 layers of mascarpone cream, 2 layers of dipped ladyfingers, and a layer of whipped cream on top.).
• Pipe 1/4" mascarpone cream into bottom of jars. Quickly dunk ladyfinger halves into coffee mixture, and place 2 pieces side-by-side on top of the mascarpone layer. Pipe another layer of mascarpone on top of ladyfingers. Repeat the dunked ladyfingers layer, and top with another layer of mascarpone. Top with whipped cream, and smooth top with a small spatula. You should have enough ingredients to completely fill 6 jars. Place lids and rings on jars, and at this point you may freeze for future use, up to one month, or serve within 24 hours.
• This may be built in a glass loaf pan instead of individual servings if desired. Prepare the same way, using whole ladyfingers instead of pieces.
• Remove from freezer to refrigerator 1-3 hours before serving. Just before serving, remove lids, and dust tops with unsweetened cocoa. Garnish with a whole coffee bean.
