What are Edible Chocolate Coffee Cups?
Edible chocolate coffee cups are basically chocolate cups that are filled with the classic tiramisu layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and sweetened mascarpone. Using a paper coffee cup as a mold helps create the coffee cup aesthetic that this dessert recipe has.
Pro Tips
- You can melt the chocolate in the microwave or on top of the stove over a double boiler.
- Don’t oversoak the ladyfingers as you don’t want them to fall apart or become mushy. Just quickly dip them in the coffee on one side before layering them in the chocolate coffee cups.
- For an alcohol-free version of this recipe, you can omit the rum.
- For easier filling, place the mascarpone mixture in a piping bag.
Frequently Asked Questions
How Do You Melt Chocolate?
You can either melt the chocolate in the microwave or on the stove. For the stovetop method, finely chop the chocolate and place it in a heatproof bowl before setting it over a pot of simmering water, and stirring it until melted. Meanwhile, for the microwave version, you can place finely chopped chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave it for 20 to 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted.
How Can I Fill the Cups Easily?
It can be messy spooning the mascarpone filling into the cups but using a piping bag makes the process a cinch. Simply place the mascarpone mixture into a piping bag so you can easily pipe it into each layer. Alternatively, you could use a plastic sandwich bag to pipe the mascarpone mixture into the cups.
Why Did the Ladyfingers Become Soggy?
The ladyfingers likely became soggy due to oversoaking them in the coffee mixture. Since they absorb liquid quickly, it is best to dunk them into the coffee very quickly rather than letting them sit in it for too long.
How to Store Edible Chocolate Coffee Cups
The chocolate coffee cups can be placed in a sealed container and stored in the fridge where they should stay good for up to 2 to 3 days.
