Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew the espresso coffee and let it cool. You can add a splash of coffee liqueur for extra flavor if desired.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese and sugar together until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to soft peaks and then fold it into the mascarpone mixture.

  3. 3

    Layer the Tiramisu

    Dip each ladyfinger in the cooled espresso for a few seconds until soaked, but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

  4. 4

    Repeat Layers

    Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone mixture, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture. Spread it evenly.

  5. 5

    Chill the Tiramisu

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight for best results.

  6. 6

    Prepare the Citrus Coulis

    In a small saucepan, combine orange juice, lemon juice, and sugar. Heat over medium until sugar dissolves. Let cool, then blend until smooth. Strain if desired.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Once chilled, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder and sprinkle with toasted hazelnuts. Serve with the citrus coulis drizzled around.
