Base Ingredients

Method

Preparation of the Tiramisu

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Mixture

    Brew 240 ml of strong espresso coffee and allow it to cool. Once cooled, mix in 60 ml of dark rum or Marsala wine. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 egg yolks and 100 g of granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy. Add 500 g of mascarpone cheese and 1 tsp of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip 200 ml of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger cookie into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, dust the top with 30 g of cocoa powder.
