    Coffee Mascarpone Cream in Chocolate Cookie Cups

    Published: Apr 5, 2018 · Modified: Mar 2, 2024 by Barbara Felicità Lucchini · This post may contain affiliate links

    Coffee Mascarpone Cream is an excellent and easy-to-make dessert, served in single-portion glass cups or in small cups made of chocolate biscuits, as we will explain in this recipe.

    For this Italian dessert, neither eggs nor cooking are needed. This delicious cream made with mascarpone and coffee is excellent for making lighter tiramisu, a valid alternative to the classic tiramisu recipe made with eggs.

    So here we'll show you how to make the chocolate cookies cups filled with a delicious mascarpone cream flavored with coffee.

    Mascarpone coffee cream is even excellent served with drops of dark chocolate, Savoiardi ladyfingers or berries.
