Description
A quick, no-bake dip version of the classic Italian Tiramisu dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 8 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
- Ladyfingers or graham crackers, for dipping
Instructions
- In a large bowl, beat the softened cream cheese until smooth.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar and mix until fully combined.
- Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract. Beat until the mixture is light and creamy.
- Slowly mix in the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur, if using, until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Transfer the dip to a serving bowl.
- Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow it to firm up.
- Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder.
- Serve cold with ladyfingers or graham crackers for dipping.
Notes
- Use high-quality instant coffee for the strongest flavor in the cooled coffee.
- If you skip the coffee liqueur, add a teaspoon of rum extract for depth.
- You can substitute graham crackers for ladyfingers if you prefer a less traditional base.
