Whip up cream in an electric mixer. 2. When fully whipped, add vanilla, confectioners’ sugar, and cream cheese. Set aside. 3. Dissolve coffee and coffee liqueur in water and place in a wide bowl. 4. Place lady fingers in coffee mixture for ten seconds, then remove. 5. Place two lady fingers at the bottom of the cup. 6. Pipe cheese mixture over. 7. Continue layering lady fingers dipped in coffee and cheese mixture until cup is full. 8. At the top of the cup, pipe cream cheese mixture with a large star tip to give it a professional finish. 9. With a vegetable peeler, scrape the side of a chocolate bar. This will form chocolate curls. 10. Place chocolate curls on the top of the cups for garnish. 11. Freeze cups and thaw 30 minutes before serving. 1. Follow previous instructions 1-4. 2. In a spring form pan, layer lady fingers and cream cheese mixture. Pipe numerous large stars at the top of the tiramisu. 3. Sprinkle with coffee powder (Elite). 4. Sprinkle with chocolate curls. 5. Freeze and thaw 30 min before serving. Refrigerate cream cheese mixture for 20 minutes before piping stars. Don’t leave ladyfingers dissolving too long in the coffee. This will result in a very soggy cake layer.
