Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew a strong cup of coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. Add dark rum or coffee liqueur to the coffee.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and creamy. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Soak the Ladyfingers

    Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for about 1-2 seconds to soak, then layer them in a rectangular dish in a single layer.

  4. 4

    Layer the Dessert

    Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the soaked ladyfingers. Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

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