TIRAMISU CUPCAKES (USES CAKE MIX)



Tiramisu Cupcakes (Uses Cake Mix) image

These are delicious tiramisu cupcakes. They are relatively easy to make as they use a boxed cake mix. Read recipe in entirety first - it sounds more complex then it actually is. You can decorate these to be quite elegant & fancy in presentation for Brunches, Bridal showers, or whatever suits your needs. These sell at gourmet bakeries, coffee shops & cafe's for a pretty penny. Note: I do use mascarpone to make these as that is more traditional, but you could substitute with plain cream cheese if needed. Also, I do use cupcake liners because I think they present better. Lastly, it's best to prepare mascarpone filling & chill about 4-6 hours in advance or night before. FYI: You can fill the cupcakes by using a icing decorating (piping) bag filled with the mascarpone filling or use an old fashioned ketchup or mustard plastic bottle with nozzle point tip

Time 58m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

1 (18 1/4 ounce) package white cake mix
3 eggs
1/3 cup oil
1 1/4 cups water
2/3 cup water, boiling
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons instant coffee
1 cup mascarpone cheese (from tub)
3 tablespoons Kahlua (or coffee extract)
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1 (8 ounce) container french vanilla cool whip
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese, softened
1/2 cup butter, softened
2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
chocolate shavings (to garnish)

Steps:

  • Make mascarpone filling mix first & allow to chill 4-6 hours or overnight.
  • Mascarpone filling: Beat mascarpone, Kahlua and condensed milk until well blended. Fold in cool whip. Chill 4-6 hours.
  • Prepare cupcakes as directed on box of white cake mix & bake accordingly. While these are baking prepare the liquid coffee as below.
  • Liquid Coffee: Boil 2/3 cup water in microwave (or boil on stove) and stir in instant coffee then powdered sugar & allow to cool to tepid. Once cooled, use a fork to poke holes into cupcakes so that they will absorb the liquid cofee & then brush liquid coffee onto each cupcake using silicone baking brush. ** I usually make 3 fork piercings across top **.
  • Fill pastry/icing bag with mascarpone filling & inject about 1 spoonful via bag directly into top-center of each cupcake.
  • Prepare Cream Cheese Buttercream Frosting: Beat butter and cream cheese until creamy with hand mixer on low. Slowly add powdered sugar, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary. Add vanilla and increase mixer to medium. Blend until frosting is fluffy.
  • Frost each cupcake with frosting & garnish with chocolate shavings (use dark chocolate bar & cheese grater).

Chocolate-covered coffee beans
3 oz dark baking chocolate, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F (325°F for dark or nonstick pans). Grease 2 (9-inch) round cake pans with shortening; line pans with cooking parchment paper. Make cake mix as directed on box, using water, oil and eggs. Pour batter into pans.

Tips:

  • Choose a high-quality cake mix that you enjoy the taste of. This will form the base of your cupcakes, so it's essential to make sure it's delicious.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing can result in tough cupcakes. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cupcakes according to the package directions. Every cake mix is different, so it's vital to follow the instructions on the box to ensure they bake correctly.
  • Let the cupcakes cool completely before frosting them. This will help prevent the frosting from melting.
  • For the tiramisu frosting, use high-quality mascarpone cheese. This will give the frosting a rich and creamy flavor.
  • If you don't have any ladyfingers, you can use graham crackers or vanilla wafers instead.
  • Garnish the cupcakes with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings for a finishing touch.
