Method
Preparing the Tiramisu
- 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
Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

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.

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

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.
