Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew a cup of espresso coffee and let it cool. If desired, mix in coffee liqueur.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until creamy. Add mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  3. 3

    Whip the Egg Whites

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.

  4. 4

    Layer the Ingredients

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso and layer them in a dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

  5. 5

    Add Another Layer

    Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

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