Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew a strong cup of coffee and let it cool to room temperature.

  2. 2

    Make the Cream Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until creamy and pale. Add the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until smooth and well combined.

  3. 3

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the cooled coffee and layer them in a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for the best flavor.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
