Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Mixture

    Brew a cup of strong coffee and let it cool. Stir in dark rum or coffee liqueur and set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy. 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 until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, 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 Layers

    Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture. Smooth the top with a spatula.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

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