Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the coffee

    Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool. If desired, add coffee liqueur to the coffee.

  2. 2

    Make the mascarpone mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and fluffy. Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  3. 3

    Soak the ladyfingers

    Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for a few seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

  4. 4

    Assemble the layers

    In a rectangular dish, arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill

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

  6. 6

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with grated dark chocolate.
