How to Make Mini Tiramisu Eclairs

In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee, 1/4 cup Kahlua (or other coffee liqueur), and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Set aside 2 tablespoons of the coffee mixture.
Using a pastry brush, evenly brush the cut sides of 24 ladyfingers with the remaining coffee mixture.
In a medium bowl, beat together 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and 2 tablespoons chocolate syrup until smooth and creamy.
Spoon or pipe the mascarpone mixture evenly onto 24 cut sides of the coffee-soaked ladyfingers.
Top with the remaining ladyfinger halves, cut-side down, to create mini eclairs.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt 4 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips, 1 tablespoon butter, and 1 tablespoon heavy cream in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and melted.
Transfer the melted chocolate to a small, heavy-duty zip-top bag. Snip a tiny corner and drizzle over the assembled eclairs.
Let the eclairs stand in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
