Prepare the Coffee Layer:

1. Brew a cup of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Stir in the sugar and coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside.

Prepare the Cream Layer:

1. In a large mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms stiff peaks.
2. In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined

Assemble the Tiramisu Cups:

1. Place a layer of broken ladyfingers at the bottom of each serving cup.
2. Spoon some of the coffee mixture over the ladyfingers, ensuring they are well soaked but not too soggy.
3. Add a layer of the mascarpone cream mixture over the soaked ladyfingers.
4. Repeat the layers, finishing with a layer of the mascarpone cream on top.
   Chill and Serve:
5. Cover the cups with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.
