I love this recipe for tiramisu cupcakes
My husband’s birthday was last week, so I wanted to make him something special. He really likes tiramisu, so I made him some tiramisu cupcakes to celebrate his birthday! Tiramisu is a traditional Italian dessert flavored with coffee, cocoa and mascarpone cheese. Tiramisu is one of my husband’s favorite desserts!

Easy Tiramisu Cupcakes

I’m not a big baker, and I had a busy day scheduled the day of my husband’s birthday, so I made my  tiramisu cupcakes with a box of vanilla cake mix. I got this extra delicious, but quick and easy recipe, from Life is Sweets. To get started, all I did was prepare the mix according to the box’s instructions, and bake the cupcakes in a cupcake pan in the oven.

While the cupcakes were baking, I used my kitchen’s Keurig Coffee Maker at our kitchen beverage center to brew a cup of coffee. (I used Dunkin Donuts’ Vanilla Cupcake coffee, but any flavor would work.)

Once the cupcakes were done baking, I set them up on a nonstick cooling rack on my kitchen table. I used a chopstick
to poke holes in the top of each cupcake. I then spooned about a tablespoon of coffee over each cupcake, and let the coffee sink into the cupcake holes that I had created. (The tablespoon of coffee gave each cupcake a light coffee taste. If you want a heavier flavor, you could add more coffee.)

Poke holes in the top of cupcakes to allow the flavoring to sink in -- I drizzled coffee on top!
Mascarpone Cheese Icing

I topped the cupcakes with a delicious icing made with heavy whipping cream mascarpone cheese and confectioners sugar.

Ingredients:

1 cup heavy whipping cream
1 8 oz. package of mascarpone cheese
1/2 cup confectioners sugar
Hershey’s Chocolate
Hershey’s Cocoa Powder
 
To make the icing, I first beat the heavy whipping cream in my KitchenAid Stand Mixer until it formed whipped cream. I then poured my whipped cream into a second bowl so I could use the KitchenAid Stand Mixer  to beat together the mascarpone cheese and confectioners sugar. Once the cheese and sugar were well combined, I added the whipped cream to the cheese and sugar combination and beat them together until they were well combined.

I then iced my cupcakes, topping them with some coca powder and some shaved chocolate. (I used a Microplane Zester/Grater
to shave Hersheys chocolate over the cupcakes.)

    I made these cupcakes for my boyfriends mothers birthday. I got rave reviews on them and I thought they were awesome! Everyone asks me when I am going to make them again and if I can double the recipe – they want more than just one.
