Method

Preparation of the Coffee Mixture

  1. 1

    Brew Coffee

    Brew 300 ml of strong coffee and allow it to cool. If desired, mix in the coffee liqueur for added flavor.

Making the Mascarpone Filling

  1. 2

    Separate the Eggs

    Separate the egg yolks and whites into two separate bowls.

  2. 3

    Whisk Egg Yolks

    Add 100 grams of granulated sugar to the egg yolks and whisk until the mixture is pale and creamy.

  3. 4

    Add Mascarpone

    Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract into the egg yolk mixture until smooth.

  4. 5

    Whisk Egg Whites

    In a clean bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then gently fold them into the mascarpone mixture.

Assembling the Tiramisu

  1. 6

    Dip Ladyfingers

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

  2. 7

    Layer the Ingredients

    In a rectangular dish, place a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom, followed by half of the mascarpone filling. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone filling.

  3. 8

    Chill

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

Final Touch

  1. 9

    Dust with Cocoa

    Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu generously with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings.
