Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Espresso Mixture

    In a shallow bowl, mix together the brewed espresso and coffee liqueur. Set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Zabaione

    In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water and whisk continuously until the mixture becomes thick and pale.

  3. 3

    Combine Mascarpone

    Remove the zabaione from heat and let it cool slightly. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth.

  4. 4

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    Layer the Tiramisu

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture and layer them in the bottom of a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, top with chocolate shavings.
