Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Brew a cup of strong espresso coffee and let it cool. Add brandy to the cooled espresso and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Cream

    In a mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and heavy cream. Whip until soft peaks form.

  3. 3

    Layer the Tiramisu

    Cut the vanilla sponge cake into slices. Dip each slice into the espresso-brandy mixture, allowing it to soak briefly.

  4. 4

    Assembly

    In a serving dish, layer soaked sponge cake slices at the bottom. Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the sponge, then repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with mascarpone cream on top.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

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