Method

Prepare the Cream Filling

  1. 1

    Mix Egg Yolks and Sugar

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Mascarpone and Vanilla

    Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture. Mix gently until combined and smooth.

  3. 3

    Whip the Heavy Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Make sure not to overwhip.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture gently until fully combined. Set aside.

Prepare the Coffee Mixture

  1. 5

    Brew Coffee

    Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool slightly.

  2. 6

    Mix Coffee and Liqueur

    In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur. Stir to mix well.

Assemble the Tiramisu

  1. 7

    Dip Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

  2. 8

    Layer the Ingredients

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

  3. 9

    Repeat Layers

    Repeat the dipping and layering process with the remaining ladyfingers and cream mixture.

  4. 10

    Chill Tiramisu

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for the best flavor.

  5. 11

    Serve
