Tiramisu is one of the most beloved Italian desserts, famous for its creamy combination of mascarpone, coffee, and ladyfingers. Presenting the tiramisu in chocolate cups adds a touch of originality and indulgence to this classic recipe. The chocolate cup not only provides an elegant container but further enriches the flavor of the dessert, creating a delightful contrast between the sweetness of the chocolate and the mascarpone cream.
Preparing tiramisu in a chocolate cup is a simple way to surprise your guests during a dinner or special occasion. You can customize the recipe with variations such as adding fresh fruit, chocolate shavings, or even a dash of liqueur for a more intense flavor. If you love tiramisu, try the egg-free pistachio tiramisu or the classic tiramisu. You can try the chocolate tiramisu or the strawberry tiramisu. For a slightly unusual dessert, try the pavesini tiramisu cake.

Steps for Preparing Tiramisu in Chocolate Cups
Chop the dark chocolate. Melt it in a bain-marie or microwave. Let it cool slightly. Dip the bottom of the muffin molds into it. Alternatively, you can use the bottom of plastic glasses or aluminum molds. They need to be soft to remove easily. Place the inverted molds in the fridge for 10-15 minutes. Repeat the process for a thicker shell. Store in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Whip the cream with the mascarpone. Beat the egg yolks with sugar and add them to the mascarpone. Mix well. Remove the chocolate cups from the molds with cold hands (I placed them under cold water for a few minutes).
Put a generous spoonful of cream into the chocolate cups. Place a piece of ladyfinger in the center and soak it with cold coffee. Cover with more cream and place in the fridge. Just before serving, sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder and, if desired, additional chocolate shavings.
Storage
You can store the cups in the fridge for a couple of days.
