Make mini tiramisu jars and stock your freezer. Thaw. Sprinkle with cocoa powder. AND DIG IN! Any day and anytime. Easy and eggless.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could have some tiramisu on whim? Just a few bites and you would be satisfied right? Well, here’s the solution you’ve been looking for and it’s SO EASY!
Here’s how it works. Purchase some ready made ladyfinger cookies. (The hard kind). Brew some strong coffee or dissolve some instant espresso powder in hot water and cool.
Next, make this quick filling with mascarpone, powder sugar, whipped cream and vanilla. No egg required! Remember, this is the quick tasty version of tiramisu not the authentic version! Splash in some coffee liqueur, amaretto or rum if you want the alcohol flavor or a stronger coffee flavor.

Give each cookie a quick soak in the cooled coffee or espresso and cut them in half.
Stack two ladyfinger halves perpendicular to each other in a small 4 ounce jar and fill the remaining space with the mascarpone mix. Freeze for later.
When you are ready to enjoy, just thaw, sprinkle with cocoa powder and eat! You will need to thaw it for about an hour if it’s coming out of the freezer but that will be your only waiting time!

I do highly recommend buying the coffee flavored mascarpone cheese if you can find it. For plain mascarpone, I also add an espresso flavored liqueur which makes that tiramisu extra special with a stronger coffee taste.
Not into coffee but like trifle desserts and mascarpone? You might also want to check out my strawberry tiramisu recipe for an alternative flavor.
