Step-by-Step Tiramisu Easter Bunny Magic
Step 1: Create Your Cute Bunny Faces
Let’s start by bringing our bunnies to life! Lightly dab honey on the glasses to attach chocolate chip eyes and marshmallow noses. Using edible markers or melted chocolate, give each bunny some whiskers and smiles to brighten your day!
Step 2: Whip Up the Heavenly Cream
Now, let's create some fluffy deliciousness. Whip your chilled heavy cream until soft, dreamy peaks form.
Mix mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar until silky smooth in a separate bowl.
Gently fold your whipped cream into the mascarpone, combining into one heavenly, airy cream.
Step 3: Delightful Layering
Dip your Savoiardi cookie halves quickly into the cooled coffee; no soggy bunnies are here!
Layer the soaked cookies in your serving glasses, topped with generous layers of fluffy mascarpone cream. Continue layering until your cups are bursting with deliciousness, finishing with cream.
Step 4: Bunny Ears and Festive Sprinkles
Top your dessert with grated chocolate candy for an irresistible flavor, and insert two Savoiardi cookies upright as bunny ears. Sprinkle with cheerful, colorful chocolate shards for a festive Easter look. Refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours to set the perfect creamy consistency.
