Step 4: Assemble the Tiramisu Pudding Cups
- Begin with a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of each cup.
- Spoon a layer of the prepared pudding over the ladyfingers.
- Add a layer of mascarpone cream on top of the pudding.
- Repeat the layers if your cups are tall enough, ending with the mascarpone cream on top.
Step 5: Finish and Chill
- Dust the tops generously with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
- Optionally, sprinkle chocolate shavings or a pinch of espresso powder for an extra touch of elegance.
- Refrigerate the cups for at least 2 hours, allowing the flavors to meld and the layers to set.
Step 6: Serve and Enjoy
