Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Mixture

    Brew the espresso coffee and allow it to cool. You can add a little sugar to taste if desired.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Whip the Cream

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

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the cooled espresso, making sure they don’t get too soggy. Layer half of the ladyfingers in the bottom of a rectangular dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

  5. 5

    Finish Layering

    Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  6. 6

    Chill

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

  7. 7

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Cut into squares and serve chilled.
