Tiramisù Ingredients
Method
Tiramisù Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Coffee Mixture
Brew the espresso coffee and allow it to cool. You can add a splash of coffee liqueur if desired.

Make the Cream Mixture
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, and mix until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

Assemble the Tiramisù
Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso coffee quickly, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish. Spread half of the cream mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream mixture.

Chill and Serve
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, sift cocoa powder over the top and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
