Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I prepare this dessert in advance?

You can prepare the mascarpone cream in advance and assemble your cups, adding the freshly brewed espresso when is time to serve it.

Can I substitute the mascarpone?

If you’re looking for a lighter option, you can substitute mascarpone with light cream cheese, though the flavour and texture will be slightly different.

Is there a non-alcoholic version?

This recipe is non-alcoholic as is, but if you want to add a twist, you can incorporate a splash of coffee liqueur.

Can I make this dessert vegan?

I haven’t tried a vegan version of these, but you can try to make a vegan version using coconut cream or a dairy-free cream alternative and a vegan mascarpone substitute.

What can I use instead of sponge fingers?

You can use ladyfingers, pound cake, or even biscotti as a substitute for sponge fingers.
