Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare Coffee Mixture

    Brew strong coffee and let it cool. If using, mix in coffee liqueur.

  2. 2

    Whip Cream

    In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Soak Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

  4. 4

    Layer Ingredients

    In a serving dish, create a layer of soaked ladyfingers. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
