Tiramisu Recipe

Tiramisu Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Espresso

   Brew 1 cup of strong espresso coffee and allow it to cool. You can add 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur to the espresso if you prefer a richer flavor.

2. 2

   Whip the Egg Yolks

   In a large mixing bowl, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. Add 100g of granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whisk together until the mixture is thick and pale in color.

3. 3

   Add Mascarpone and Vanilla

   Gently fold in 500g of mascarpone cheese and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract into the whipped egg yolk mixture until smooth and well combined.

4. 4

   Whip the Egg Whites

   In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the mixture.

5. 5

   Soak the Ladyfingers

   Dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso mixture for just a few seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

6. 6

   Layer the Ingredients

   In a rectangular dish, layer half of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

7. 7

   Repeat the Layers

   Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone mixture, then spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the second layer.

8. 8

   Chill the Tiramisu

   Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

9. 9

   Serve and Dust with Cocoa

   Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder using a fine sieve for an elegant finish.
