Tiramisu Shots Recipe: Easy Cocktail Dessert (Print version)

Creamy layered tiramisu shots with coffee liqueur, Irish cream, whipped cream, and cocoa, ready in about 10 minutes.

# Ingredients:

For the shots

01 - 3 oz (90 ml) coffee liqueur, chilled
02 - 3 oz (90 ml) Irish cream liqueur, chilled
03 - 3 oz (90 ml) heavy cream, chilled
04 - 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
05 - Ice, for shaking

For garnish

07 - 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder
08 - 1 crisp ladyfinger, finely crushed, optional

# Instructions:

01 - Place 6 clear shot glasses in the freezer for 10 minutes. Cold glasses help the layers hold their shape.
02 - Divide the coffee liqueur evenly among the shot glasses, using about 1/2 oz (15 ml) per glass.
03 - Add Irish cream, heavy cream, vanilla, and a small handful of ice to a shaker. Shake for 8-10 seconds until cold and lightly thickened.
04 - Hold the back of a small spoon just above the coffee liqueur. Slowly pour the cream mixture over the spoon, dividing it evenly among the glasses.
05 - Top each shot with whipped cream, a dusting of cocoa powder, and a tiny pinch of crushed ladyfinger if using. Serve immediately.

# Good to know:
