Instructions
Start by making the coffee. To get a quick and delicious Italian coffee, you can use an Espresso Machine or a traditional Italian Moka pot. After making the coffee, add some milk and stir it well. Let the coffee cool down and set it aside for later.
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese with the pistachio cream spread. Beat these ingredients together with a mixer until they are fully blended and smooth.
Turn off the mixer and add the whipping cream along with the powdered sugar. Turn the mixer back on and whip everything together again until the mixture becomes frothy and firm. Once the mixture is ready and has a frothy, firm texture, transfer it into a piping bag fitted with a smooth 12 mm (about ½ inch) nozzle. Place the piping bag in the refrigerator to keep it cool.
Take the ladyfingers and cut them all in half. Dip each half quickly into the cooled coffee and milk mixture, just for about one second on each side.
Place two or three halves of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of each dessert cup to create the base layer. Next add about 80 grams of the pistachio and mascarpone cream into each cup.
Then place another layer of ladyfingers soaked in coffee on top of the cream. Add more cream on top until the cups are filled to about 1 cm (about ½ inch) from the top. Finally, decorate each pistachio tiramisu with some pistachio granules and a light dusting of bitter cocoa powder.
