5-Minute Easy Tiramisu

5 minute easy tiramisu made with mascarpone, coffee, and cocoa. A quick no chill dessert served straight from the mug.

I made this 5 minute tiramisu on a quiet afternoon when time felt short and dinner plans felt full. I wanted a dessert that felt familiar without adding work to the day. This version comes together fast and feels relaxed. A mug, a spoon, and a few ingredients handle the job.

What I enjoy about this recipe is how direct the flavor feels. The coffee stays bold. The cream stays smooth. Nothing feels heavy or overworked. It suits evenings when effort stays low but standards stay high.

When I shared this at home, the reaction came fast. The mugs emptied. The biscuits disappeared. Requests followed soon after. This dessert fits real life and still feels special enough to serve with pride.
