Tiramisu Cupcakes Recipe

Hi tiramisu lovers and welcome back to this tiramisu recipe blog. Last week it was the 96th birthday of our lovely neighbor Amanda, and the whole street was celebrating. What’s better than my best tiramisu cupcake recipe to show up at the parry? This is a monster recipe for 36 tiramisu cupcakes, so feel free to halve the ingredients if you have normal parties….

Ingredients for this tiramisu cupcakes recipe:
400gr (14 oz)     butter, softened
600gr (1.3 lb) sugar
8 eggs
770gr (1.7 lb) all purpose flour
3 tsp baking powder
¼ tsp salt
180ml (6 fl oz) espresso coffee
290ml (10 fl oz) milk
2 tbsp coffee powder
2 tbsp rum
150gr (5 oz) chocolate chips

Make the coffee with a moka (find the directions here in the easy tiramisu recipe). Preheat the oven 175ºC (fan off). In a large bowl, beat the butter with an electric mixer for one minutes, then add the sugar and mix for three more minutes. Add the eggs, one at the time, and mix until it’s all amalgamated.
In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking powder and salt and in a third bowl pout coffee and milk. Put together the dry and liquid ingredients into the bowl with the butter and egg alternating part of one bowl and part of another. Stir with a wooden spoon and lastly, add the coffee power and the chocolate chips.
Using a spoon or an ice-cream scoop, fill the cupcake liners up to ¾, then bake for 22-25 minutes or until it passes the toothpick test. Take out of the oven and let it cool to room temperature.

If you think it’s over, you’re wrong, it’s just the beginning, this is where this recipe for tiramisu cupcakes gets interesting. Get the following:

More espresso coffee
More milk
1 tbsp rum
1-2 tsp sugar

Make a moka for 1-2 people, then weigh the coffee and mix it with twice its weight of milk, and add the sugar and rum. Put it in a pan and bring to boil. With a kitchen brush, glaze the top of the cupcakes.

Now for the topping, the dark chocolate cream (this is what makes this one the best of my tiramisu cupcake recipes):

500gr (1.1 lb) dark chocolate, chopped
250gr (9 oz) double cream
1 tbsp coffee powder

Add the chocolate to a large bowl. Sieve the coffee into a pan and add the cream. Bring almost to the boil, making sure it forms no lumps. Stir until the chocolate is almost completely melted. Let it cool for half an hour, until it’s still warm but not completely solid, pour it on top of each tiramisu cupcake.

Oh and of course these are tiramisu cupcakes with mascarpone cream (else how could we call this a tiramisu recipe?)
500gr (1.1 lb) mascarpone
500gr (1.1 lb) white chocolate, chopped
200ml (6.7 fl oz) double cream
2 tbsp coffee powder

Add the chocolate to a bowl. Put the coffee powder and the cream together in a pan and bring almost to boil. Pour it on the chocolate and stir until melted. When it’s at room temperature add the mascarpone and mix with an electric whip. It will have to have a thick texture, so add more mascarpone if it’s too liquid or a little milk if too dense. Put it in a pastry bag and decorate the top of each cupcake.
And there you go, a very easy tiramisu cupcakes recipe.
