Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee Mixture

    In a shallow dish, combine the strong brewed coffee with coffee liqueur (if using). Let it cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mix the Mascarpone Filling

    In a large bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, heavy cream, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.

  3. 3

    Soak the Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, making sure not to soak them too long, and arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of a serving dish.

  4. 4

    Layer the Tiramisu

    Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the soaked ladyfingers. Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    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.
