Tiramisu Ingredients
Method
Tiramisu Directions
Prepare the Espresso
Brew 240 ml of strong espresso coffee and let it cool. If desired, mix in the coffee liqueur.
Make the Mascarpone Filling
In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.
Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined.
Assemble the Tiramisu
Dip each ladyfinger in the cooled espresso quickly, making sure they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.
Layer the Filling
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone filling.
Chill the Dessert
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
Serve
Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings.
