Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Mixture

    In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside to cool.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and well combined.

  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 incorporated.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, then layer them at the bottom of a rectangular dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder. Cut into squares and enjoy your homemade tiramisu!
