So, I whipped up this shortcut Tiramisu in a martini glass for my daughter's birthday, and let me tell you, it was a hit! No fuss with layering savoiardi; just dollop that creamy mascarpone right in the glass. I stuck a couple of savoiardi on the sides for good measure and that classic touch. Easy, quick, and still got that 'wow' factor.
Posted a sneak peek on my socials and someone on TikTok was like, 'Recipe, please!' So, here we are. The martini glass isn't just for the 'Gram; it actually makes for the perfect portion. A spoonful gets you a bit of everything: the creaminess, the coffee hit, and the liqueur kick. Trust me, it's Tiramisu but without the long prep time.
So, whether it's a birthday or you're just feeling fancy on a weekday, this shortcut Tiramisu has got you covered. I mean, who says you can't have elegance without spending hours in the kitchen? Give it a try; it's a game-changer!
