Preparation of Espresso
Brew Espresso
Brew 1 cup of strong espresso coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature.
Add Liqueur
Stir in 1 tablespoon of coffee liqueur into the cooled espresso.
Cream Mixture
Whip Cream
In a mixing bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
Mix Mascarpone
In another bowl, combine 500g of mascarpone cheese, 3 tablespoons of granulated sugar, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 3 egg yolks. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Combine Creams
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
Assembling Tiramisu
Dip Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
Layer Ingredients
In a rectangular dish, create a layer of the dipped ladyfingers, followed by half of the mascarpone cream mixture. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream.
Chill
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
