Method

Tiramisu Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew the espresso and let it cool. If using, mix in the coffee liqueur.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix Mascarpone

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

  4. 4

    Fold in the Cream

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

  5. 5

    Dip Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

  6. 6

    Layer the Tiramisu

    In a serving dish, arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  7. 7

    Chill

    Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
