INDIVIDUAL WHITE CHOCOLATE TIRAMISU
These individual tiramisu look super-elegant served in large stemmed wine goblets - but you could also use individual serving bowls, as long as they're deep enough. To make the tiramisu a day ahead, leave out the strawberry slices in between the layers. Sprinkle the raspberries over the top just before serving.

Steps:
- To make the white chocolate cream: heat the milk over low-medium heat until bubbles form around the edges of the saucepan. Place the white chocolate pieces in a small bowl and pour the hot milk over. Whisk until the chocolate is completely melted.
- Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk the sugar into the mascarpone. Set aside. In a small, chilled bowl, whip the cream with the vanilla until soft peaks form (do not overbeat.) Whisk the white chocolate mixture into the mascarpone. Fold in the whipped cream. The texture should be like lightly whipped cream; if it doesn't "flow", thin the mixture slightly by stirring in some milk, 1 tablespoon at a time.
- Spoon the liqueur evenly over the cake slices. Place 1 slice of cake in the bottom of each goblet. Spoon half of the cream mixture over the cake slices (about 2 1/2 tablespoons for each slice.) Sprinkle each with 1/2 tablespoon of the grated chocolate. Slice 8 strawberries and place some slices over the chocolate in each goblet. Repeat the cake, cream and chocolate layers. Refrigerate for 4 to 8 hours.
- To make the chocolate leaves: line a plate with waxed paper. In a double boiler over low heat, melt the grated semisweet chocolate. Remove the chocolate from the heat. Using a pastry brush, spread the underside of each leaf with a layer of chocolate. Place the painted leaves, chocolate side up, on the prepared plate. Freeze until the chocolate is set. Carefully peel the leaf off the chocolate, handling the chocolate leaf as little as possible. Return the leaves to the freezer if the chocolate is melting.
- Just before serving, top each tiramisu with raspberries and garnish each with a strawberry half and chocolate leaves.
INDIVIDUAL TIRAMISU CUPS
This recipe came from the Washington Post Magazine's Plate Lab column, and was obtained from the Praline Bakery. I love making it in half-pint canning jars, which are cute to serve in, and can freeze safely.

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.

Steps:
- In a medium bowl, beat egg yolks with 3 tablespoons sugar until foamy and pale. Beat in mascarpone until smooth; set aside.
- In the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, whisk egg whites until frothy. Add remaining tablespoon of sugar, and beat until they hold stiff peaks. Fold the mascarpone mixture into the egg white mixture. Set aside.
- Pour vermouth into a small bowl. Reserve 5 amaretti cookies to crumble and sprinkle over the top of the dessert. One at a time, quickly dip the remaining cookies into vermouth; they should absorb some of the liquid but not be mushy. Place the soaked cookies in a snug layer in the bottom of 8 individual serving bowls or a 9-inch baking dish. Evenly spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the cookies. Repeat layering: Place another layer of soaked cookies over the mascarpone, and then spread remaining mascarpone mixture. End with a layer of soaked cookies that are loosely arranged so that the cream mixture below is visible. Sprinkle with crumbled cookies. Refrigerate to set for at least 2 hours before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, delicious ingredients will produce the best tiramisu. Look for high-quality coffee, cocoa powder, and mascarpone cheese.
- Make sure your coffee is strong and cold. The coffee flavor should be assertive in tiramisu, so use a dark roast coffee and brew it strong. Then, chill the coffee completely before using it.
- Don't overbeat the mascarpone cheese. Overbeating will make the mascarpone cheese grainy and dense. Beat it just until it is smooth and creamy.
- Use a ladyfinger that is not too soft. If the ladyfingers are too soft, they will break when you dip them in the coffee. Look for ladyfingers that are slightly firm to the touch.
- Dip the ladyfingers in the coffee quickly. You don't want the ladyfingers to absorb too much coffee and become soggy. Dip them quickly, then place them in the baking dish.
- Don't skimp on the cocoa powder. Cocoa powder adds a rich, chocolatey flavor to tiramisu. Use a generous amount of cocoa powder when dusting the top of the dessert.
Conclusion:
Tiramisu is a delicious and versatile dessert that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is easy to make, and it can be customized to suit your own tastes. Whether you like it classic or with a twist, tiramisu is sure to be a hit at your next gathering.
