Ministop recently launched its 'Adult Tiramisu' in a cup as a convenient new grab-and-go treat for Japanese consumers.
The portable snack makes it easy to enjoy a classic Italian dessert alongside the rich taste of coffee and chocolate that's slightly on the bitter side—the treat is likely branded as Adult Tiramisu, since its sophisticated flavors will be unappealing to young ones.
Part of the popularity of dessert-in-a-cup products can be attributed to the fact that the bite-sized indulgences are easily transportable and offer a limited amount of sweetness in a single container. While the majority of dessert cups favor sweet flavor profiles, this one from Ministop sets itself apart with an intriguing taste experience that builds upon the classic coffee, chocolate and savoy cheese components of tiramisu.
