The husband has a new-found love for a desert. Every where we go he orders it. This obsession just started a few months ago. We aren’t where or how it started, maybe it’s a pregnancy craving for him! But, he’s been ordering Tiramisu whenever he can! He’s taking a very hard course for his work and had to study all weekend long instead of playing with Kiley, which I know he missed. I decided to make this recipe for him because I knew he’d like it and really enjoy it after studying so hard for so long! This recipe is great, because he couldn’t eat a whole tiramisu desert by him self.
Funny story, is the recipe suggest to put into a wine glass, which I did, I made 3 of these, one of those being in favorite wine glass ever. Well, I opened the refrigerator door and bam, it fell on the floor, so we were left with only 2 tiramisu left, so I decided to name this recipe tiramisu for two!
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1/2 cup of sugar
8 ounces of mascarpone cheese, at room temperature
1/2 cup Marsala wine
1 1/2 cups of Italian roast coffee or a strong dark flavor
1/4 cup dark rum
Lady Fingers, 1 package
2 ounces of dark chocolate
Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Directions:
- Whip the heavy cream until it forms a small peak. I suggest using a stand mixer for this, otherwise you’ll be mixing for a long time! Add the sugar and whip a bit longer until the sugar is mixed throughout the cream. Scoop out a cup of the whip cream mixture and set aside for topping the tiramisu when it’s all done.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese and Marsala together until smooth and creamy. Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into mixture, then slowly add rest of whipped cream.
- Stir espresso and rum together. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, very quickly, no more than like 2 seconds or it becomes very soggy. Place two ladyfingers in the bottom of a wine glass. Spoon over some mascarpone cheese, then using a microplane or garlic grater, grate some dark chocolate over the top of the layer. Repeat this two more times. Cover and refrigerate for 3 hours.
- When ready to serve, add some unsweetened cocoa to the top and some of the reserved whipped cream.
Enjoy!

I’m so sorry to hear about your wine glass! That sounds like something I would do. I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as we did!
