It’s the ideal treat after a romantic dinner in and saves you time, space in the fridge, and unwanted leftovers by not making a full batch. This tiramisu recipe is perfectly sweetened and has just the right amount of punch from the booze-spiked filling. The surprising twist is the use of easy-to-find cream cheese instead of traditional mascarpone cheese. The cream cheese is whipped with heavy cream, confectioner’s sugar, and bourbon or rum and layered into two glasses with coffee-soaked ladyfingers. Chill the tiramisu cups for a few hours or prepare them up to two days ahead, and dessert is checked off the list! Marsala wine, Baileys, dark rum, Kahlua, or Frangelico are all great swaps for the bourbon. For a non-alcoholic version, use two teaspoons of vanilla extract for added depth and a sweet fragrance. 28 Valentine's Day Desserts You'll Love at First Bite Ingredients 4 oz cream cheese, softened 1/2 cup heavy cream 1/4 cup confectioner's sugar 1 Tbsp bourbon or dark rum 6 ladyfingers (from a 7-oz. pkg., such as Savoiardi), halved crosswise 1/2 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled 1 cup fresh raspberries, divided, plus more for topping 1 oz bittersweet chocolate (from a 3-oz. bar) Directions Beat cream cheese in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until creamy, about 1 minute.
