Method

Cream Mixture Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Using a hand mixer, beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

Coffee Mixture Preparation

  1. 3

    Make the Coffee Mixture

    In a shallow dish, combine the brewed espresso and amaretto. Stir gently to mix.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Dip the Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for about 1-2 seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

  2. 5

    Layer the Tiramisu

    In a rectangular dish, lay half of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.

  3. 6

    Repeat the Layers

    Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone cream mixture on top.

  4. 7

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, sprinkle cacao nibs on top for garnish.
