Italian Kitchen Signature Tableside Tiramisu Recipe

Make the Mascarpone Mousse

In a mixing bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, egg yolks, and granulated sugar until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

Soak Ladyfingers

Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the espresso coffee, making sure not to soak them too long to prevent them from becoming too soggy.

Assemble Layers

In a serving dish, layer the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom, then spread a layer of the mascarpone mousse on top. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with the mascarpone mousse on top.

Chill

Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld.

Heat Milk and Cream

In a saucepan, combine the milk and heavy cream and heat over medium heat until it just begins to simmer.

Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar

In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks, granulated sugar, and instant coffee granules until well combined.

Combine and Thicken

Gradually pour the hot milk mixture into the egg yolk mixture while whisking continuously. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Add Vanilla

Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract. Allow to cool slightly before serving.
