Gluten-Free Tiramisu Cupcakes (Grain-Free)

Average Rating: 5 | Rated By: 4 users

These Gluten-Free Tiramisu Cupcakes are insanely delicious! Honestly, if you are looking for a magical dessert but still want to keep it simple, this recipe is for you.

These coffee-flavoured cupcakes are perfect for a birthday, anniversary or a dinner party. They will satisfy your craving for something delectable, sweet and delicious every time.

♥ No grains in these tiramisu cupcakes!

This cupcake recipe is made only with one flour, coconut flour. Keeping this a gluten-free and grain-free dessert. The delicious small dessert is flavoured with coffee, cocoa and rum and is delightfully light and moist.

As all tiramisu desserts are made with whipped cream, I topped the cupcakes with a light cream cheese frosting flavoured with coffee and rum.

The topping tastes just like the creamy layer in a tiramisu cake. It definitely makes this simple cupcake extra special. To give this dessert the tiramisu look and extra cocoa flavour I gave the cupcakes a light dusting of cocoa powder. A perfect combo for traditional tiramisu flavours.

I try not to pick my favourite cupcake recipes, but this gluten-free tiramisu cupcake has to be one of my favourite recipes. Particularly when I added the creamy tiramisu frosting.

What I love about these heavenly cupcakes is, you can serve a dessert for 12 people that is simple enough for anyone to make. If you are looking for an egg-free chocolate cupcake recipe, try the Chocolate Filled Cupcakes recipe. They are amazing!
