Number of servings: 2

Necessary ingredients:
- 185 g Fagaras cheese (or another fine cottage cheese)

- 200 ml cold coffee (preferably espresso)
- 12 ladyfingers
- 1 vial of vanilla essence

A bit of history:
Tiramisu is a dessert that has gained popularity worldwide due to its creamy texture and perfect combination of flavors. Its name translates to "pick me up" or "lift me up," due to the energy provided by its main ingredients: coffee and cocoa. This glass version allows for an elegant presentation and intense flavor without requiring much preparation time.

Step by step for a perfect tiramisu:

1. Preparing the cream: Start by whipping the cream until it becomes firm. If using unsweetened cream, add sugar to taste, making sure to continue mixing until the sugar dissolves completely. Then, add the Fagaras cheese and vanilla essence. Gently mix with a spatula until you achieve a smooth and creamy consistency.

2. Preparing the ladyfingers: Break the ladyfingers into small pieces, large enough to handle easily. The size of the pieces depends on the glasses you are using, so adjust accordingly.

3. Soaking the ladyfingers: Pour the cold coffee into a bowl and, using a brush or simply by hand, quickly dip the pieces of ladyfinger into the coffee. Make sure not to leave them too long, or they will become too soggy.

4. Assembling the dessert: Start layering in the glasses. Place a first layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of each glass. Follow with a generous layer of whipped cream with cheese. Repeat the process, alternating between ladyfingers and cream, until the glasses are filled, ensuring that the last layer is always cream.

5. Final decoration: Sprinkle carob powder on top of the last layer of cream to add extra flavor and an elegant look.

6. Cooling: Cover the glasses with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for about 25 minutes. This cooling will help the flavors to meld and give the dessert a firmer texture.

Useful tips:
- If you want a more intense coffee flavor, you can use espresso or even add a splash of coffee liqueur to the coffee.
- You can substitute Fagaras cheese with mascarpone, but keep in mind that mascarpone is richer in fat, which can make the dessert even creamier.
- For a hint of freshness, add a little lemon or orange zest to the whipped cream.

Frequently asked questions:
- Can I use store-bought ladyfingers? Yes, champagne ladyfingers are ideal, but you can also use other types of cookies depending on your preferences.
- Is it possible to make this dessert without coffee? Absolutely! You can use milk or another type of beverage, such as fruit tea.
- How can I vary the recipe? You can add berries between layers or use melted chocolate for a more decadent flavor.

Nutritional benefits:
This glass tiramisu recipe contains protein from the cheese, healthy fats from the cream (if used in moderation), and antioxidants from the coffee. It is a dessert that can be enjoyed in moderation, making it a lighter choice compared to the classic version.

Serving suggestions:
Tiramisu in a glass can be served alongside a fragrant coffee or herbal tea. Additionally, a scoop of vanilla ice cream or fruit sorbet would add a refreshing touch in contrast to the creaminess of the dessert.

I hope you enjoy this glass tiramisu recipe, which brings not only a delicious taste but also unforgettable moments with loved ones! Bon appétit!

Whip the cream well and mix it with cheese and vanilla essence. The ladyfingers are broken into small pieces depending on the glasses you have. The pieces of ladyfinger are quickly dipped in cold coffee and placed at the bottom of the glass. A layer of cream with cheese is placed over them, followed by more soaked ladyfingers, cream with cheese, and this continues until all ingredients are used. The last layer added should be cream. Dust with carob powder on top and let the glasses chill for about 25 minutes.

If you are not using sweetened cream, you can add sugar.
