Ingredients:
| 1 1/2 teaspoons | instant coffee (i use the starbucks via packs) |
| 1/4 cup | hot water |
| 1 cup | heavy whipping cream, cold |
| 1 1/2 cups | powdered sugar |
| 8 ounces | marscarpone cheese or cream cheese (low fat cream cheese is fine) |
| 1 teaspoon | vanilla extract |
| 1 tablespoon | unsweetened cocoa powder |
| 1 ounce | semi-sweet baking chocolate |
Directions:
Place the instant coffee in the hot water and stir. Let cool for 5 minutes.
Beat heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Chill until ready to use.
Mix powdered sugar and marscarpone/cream cheese with a hand mixer until smooth. Mix in vanilla extract and 1 tablespoon of the coffee. Add up to the entire amount of coffee, depending on how strong you want your tiramisu. (I added all of it because that’s how I roll.) Mix in vanilla.
Fold whipped cream into coffee mixture gently. Place the tiramisu in a gallon size ziploc bag that is fitted with a large round or 1M tip.
Pipe a small amount the bottom of each of 4 serving glasses (my glasses were 6 ounce size). Top the layer with a dusting of cocoa powder. Continue layering the tiramisu and cocoa powder. Once you get to the top layer, grate the 1 ounce of semi-sweet baking chocolate over the tops of the serving dishes (instead of the dusting of cocoa powder). This gives a sweet first taste instead of being bitter from the unsweetened cocoa. Chill, covered, in the fridge until ready to serve.
