Individual Cherry Tiramisu Dessert Cups

Pretty finish to an Italian themed meal. Also would be so lovely as a Valentine's Day treat. You will need 6 pretty clear serving dishes for this recipe. Use a food processor to turn some shortbread cookies into the 1 1/2 cups cookie crumbs needed.

• Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 1  cup ricotta cheese
• 1  cup powdered sugar
• 1⁄4 cup sour cream

• 1 (21 ounce) can cherry pie filling
•  grated chocolate, garnish
•  fresh mint leaves, garnish
• 6  maraschino cherries, with stems garnish

Directions

1. Mix ricotta, powdered sugar, sour cream, and coffee liqueur well.
2. Spoon 2 Tbsp ricotta mixture into each of six (8 ounce each) decorative clear serving dishes.
3. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons cookie crumbs on top of each.
4. Spoon 2 Tbsp cherry filling on top next.
5. Repeat layers once more, plus one more ricotta layer (last layer will be more like a small dollop on top).
