Lazy girl Caramel Tiramisu cups- Caramel macchiato dessert

A few years ago I shared my The lazy girl Super Easy Tiramisu Recipe and it did so well that I knew I had to bring these individual tiramisu cups to the blog asap!

I decided to take it up a notch and make it different from your good old regular tiramisu though. Adding caramel to this dessert will make it taste like a caramel macchiato but in dessert form which we’re all about!

This is the best Caramel Tiramisu cups

To balance out the flavors, I used some coffee caramel from Stonewall kitchen and it worked beautifully with the bold coffee flavors and the creamy mascarpone layer.

Of course, if you want to add caramel to both layers, feel free to do that. Just reduce the amount by half to make sure that it doesn’t overpower the dessert and doesn’t make it too sweet.

Why you need to make this recipe!

Ingredients for this Caramel macchiato tiramisu

Here are the ingredients you will need to make this Caramel tiramisu. Make sure to scroll down to the recipe card for the full detailed ingredient measurements.

• Heavy cream – Since this tiramisu isn’t made with eggs, we will use heavy cream to make up for that.
• Granulated sugar – The granulated sugar will lightly sweeten our cream layers.
• Vanilla – The vanilla will add a nice depth of flavor to the mascarpone cream.
• Mascarpone – The mascarpone is the star of every tiramisu. It will make it extra creamy and luscious.
• Ladyfinger biscuits – You can either use homemade ladyfingers or store bought. Of course, if you’re truly going for the lazy girl dessert, storebought is the best!
• Stonewall Kitchen coffee caramel sauce – This caramel is the perfect addition to this tiramisu. It will make it taste like your favorite coffee drink.
• Vermont Coffee Company – Tiramisu is usually made with espresso so if you have an espresso machine, feel free to make espresso but to all my people who don’t have that, just use really strong coffe.
• eCocoa powder – The cocoa powder is great to finish everything off and give it a hint of chocolate which works so well with coffee and caramel.

Frequently asked questions – FAQ

Can you make caramel tiramisu cups in advance?

Absolutely! It’s actually even better to make these ones up to two days in advance to allow the flavors to really infuse into each other.

I would make the caramel tiramisu cups, place them in an air-tight container or wrap them with plastic wrap, and store them in the fridge for 1-2 days. Once you’re ready to serve, dust with cocoa powder, decorate with coffee beans, and half a ladyfingers if you’d like and serve!

How to store leftover tiramisu?

Store these individual tiramisu cups in the fridge for up to 4 days. Make sure to cover them so they don’t dry out. And like we already said, a few days old tiramisu is a million times better!

Can you freeze these tiramisu trifles?

Again, yes 🙂 These individual desserts freeze really well. You can cover each tiramisu cup with plastic wrap, then place in an air-tight container and freeze for up to 1 month.

Once you’re ready to enjoy them let them thaw in the fridge overnight and enjoy!

Tips for the best caramel macchiato tiramisu cups

• Use really cold heavy cream. To make sure that you can whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, make sure that the heavy cream is as cold as possible.
• Use room temperature mascarpone cheese. I have made the mistake of using cold mascarpone and ended up with a lumpy mess. To make sure that the mascarpone mixes well with our heavy cream mixture make sure it’s softened and at room temperature.
• Don’t over dip the ladyfinger biscuits in the coffee. These are such delicate biscuits that even a second too long and they will break apart in the coffee so only dip them for a few seconds.
