Method

Prepare the Coffee Mixture

  1. 1

    Brew the Coffee

    Brew 1 cup of espresso or strong coffee and stir in 2 tablespoons of sugar until dissolved. If desired, add 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur for extra flavor. Set aside to cool.

Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture

  1. 2

    Mix Mascarpone

    In a large bowl, combine 16 oz of mascarpone cheese, 1 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

  2. 3

    Beat Egg Yolks

    In a separate bowl, whisk 3 large egg yolks until they are pale and slightly thickened. Gradually add the mascarpone mixture to the egg yolks, folding gently until well combined.

Assemble the Tiramisu

  1. 4

    Dip Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip 24 ladyfinger cookies into the cooled coffee mixture, ensuring they soak up some liquid without becoming too soggy.

  2. 5

    Layer Ingredients

    In a 9x9 inch dish, layer half of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  3. 6

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, dust the top with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder.
