Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew a cup of espresso coffee and let it cool. If using, add coffee liqueur to the coffee.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese and mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Whip the Cream

    In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the cooled espresso coffee and layer them in a rectangular dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.

  5. 5

    Chill

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Cut into squares and enjoy!
