Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Mixture

    Brew the espresso and allow it to cool. Mix the cooled espresso with coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until it forms soft peaks. Set aside.

  3. 3

    Mix Mascarpone and Sugar

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

  4. 4

    Combine Cream and Mascarpone

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

  5. 5

    Dip Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

  6. 6

    Layer the Tiramisu

    In a rectangular serving dish, create a layer of soaked ladyfingers. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining 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 and garnish with grated chocolate. Cut into squares and enjoy!
