Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

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

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks and sugar together until thick and pale. Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth.

  3. 3

    Whip the Egg Whites

    In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

  4. 4

    Layer the Tiramisu

    Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso mixture for a few seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

  5. 5

    Repeat the Layers

    Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers and then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

    Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
