Instructions of Tiramisu in Verrines

Making the Cream

1. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and brown sugar until creamy and slightly foamy.
2. Stir in the mascarpone and vanilla extract, whisking until smooth and fully combined.

Preparing the Coffee

1. Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool.
2. Mix in the amaretto liqueur if using ; otherwise, proceed with the plain coffee.

Assembling the Verrines

2. Layer the dipped biscuits at the bottom of each verrine.
3. Add a generous layer of mascarpone cream mixture.
4. Repeat the process to create a second layer of biscuits and cream.

Finishing and Refrigerating

1. Sprinkle grated chocolate or chocolate shavings on top for a decorative touch.
2. Cover the verrines and refrigerate them for 4–6 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to firm up.
