CHERRY TIRAMISU CUPS

I prepared these for my girlfriend and I for Valentine's Day, 2007. Easy to make, and visually stunning, this cherry tiramisu can be served in martini glasses, as a perfect finish to a perfect meal. Note that the cherry sauce should be made a few hours earlier, as it will need time to cool in the fridge.

Time 3h30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

250 g mascarpone cheese
15 ml Kahlua
30 ml strong brewed coffee
2 teaspoons white sugar
20 fresh cherries, pitted and chopped
75 ml water
1/4 cup white sugar
20 ml Amaretto
5 ml lemon juice
4 -5 shortbread, fingers crumbled
2 fresh cherries
powdered chocolate milk mix

Steps:

  • To make the cherry sauce, bring the water to a boil in a small saucepan.
  • Add as much sugar as will dissolve into the water, then add the Amaretto and lemon juice.
  • Just before it starts to boil, add the cherries, and stir it over a high heat until the liquid takes on the color of the cherries.
  • Reduce the heat, and simmer until most of the liquid has evaporated.
  • Place the mixture in a small bowl, cover tightly, and place in the fridge.
  • To make the coffee cream, simply combine the cheese, Kahlua, and coffee in a bowl, and stir until the mixture is uniform in color.
  • Add sugar to taste, if necessary.
  • Once the cherry sauce has cooled, arrange the three components in layers in a martini glass, with the biscuit crumbs on the bottom, cherry sauce in the middle, and coffee cream on top.
  • Refridgerate until the coffee cream is firm.
  • Decorate with powdered sugar, and place a cherry on top.
