For the Tiramisu
Method
Prepare the Espresso
Brew the Espresso
Brew 300 ml of espresso coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
Make the Cream Mixture
Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar
In a mixing bowl, whisk together 4 egg yolks and 100 g of sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy.
Add Mascarpone
Gently fold in 500 g of mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until smooth.
Whip the Cream
In another bowl, whip 250 ml of heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Combine Mixtures
Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined. Add 1 tsp of vanilla extract and mix gently.
Assemble the Tiramisu
Dip Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger biscuit (24 pieces) into the cooled espresso, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
Layer Ingredients
In a rectangular dish, layer half of the dipped ladyfingers on the bottom.
Add Cream Mixture
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.
Repeat Layers
Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone cream.
Chill the Tiramisu
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serve the Tiramisu
Dust with Cocoa
Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and sprinkle dark chocolate shavings (50 g) on top.
Slice and Serve
Cut into squares and serve chilled.
