How long can you store mini tiramisu cups in the fridge?

You can safely keep your mini tiramisu cups refrigerated for up to about 3-4 days. After that the texture may soften and the layers might begin to lose their structure, so it’s best to enjoy them within that window.

Can you make tiramisu cups ahead of time?

Yes — you can make mini tiramisu cups ahead of time and chill them in the fridge. In fact, allowing them to sit for several hours (or overnight) helps the flavors meld and makes the dessert even better when served.

What can I use instead of ladyfingers in tiramisu cups?

If you don’t have ladyfingers on hand for your mini tiramisu cups, you can substitute with vanilla wafers, shortbread cookies, or even sponge cake slices — just note that the flavor and texture will change slightly.

Is it okay to omit the alcohol in tiramisu cups?

Absolutely. You can skip the liqueur and still enjoy delicious mini tiramisu cups by using extra espresso or decaf for a kid-friendly version. The dessert remains rich and satisfying without alcohol.
