Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew the espresso coffee and allow it to cool. If desired, mix in coffee liqueur.

  2. 2

    Make the Cream Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, beat the eggs and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  3. 3

    Whip the Cream

    In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Dip each ladyfinger briefly in the cooled espresso and layer them in a dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layering with remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
