Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Coffee Layer:**
– Brew a cup of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
– Stir in the sugar and coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside.
2. **Prepare the Cream Layer:**
– In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
– In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
– Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
3. **Assemble the Tiramisu Cups:**
– Place a layer of broken ladyfingers at the bottom of each serving cup.
– Spoon some of the coffee mixture over the ladyfingers, ensuring they are well soaked but not too soggy.
– Add a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the soaked ladyfingers.
– Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of the mascarpone cream on top.
4. **Chill and Serve:**
– Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
