Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Mixture

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

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix Mascarpone and Sugar

    In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Fold in Whipped Cream

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

  5. 5

    Dip Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture, making sure not to soak them too long.

  6. 6

    Layer the Tiramisu

    In a rectangular dish, layer half of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.

  7. 7

    Chill

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  8. 8

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Cut into squares and enjoy!
