Method

Preparing the Tiramisu

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. If using coffee liqueur, mix it with the coffee once it’s cooled.

  2. 2

    Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  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

    Soak the Ladyfingers

    Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture for about 1-2 seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

  5. 5

    Layer the Tiramisu

    In a rectangular dish, place a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

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