Base Ingredients

Mascarpone Mixture

Method

Preparation of Coffee

  1. 1

    Brew Coffee

    Brew 1 cup of espresso or strong coffee and let it cool. If desired, mix in 3 tablespoons of coffee liqueur for added flavor.

Mascarpone Mixture

  1. 2

    Prepare Mascarpone Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, beat together 3 egg yolks and 0.5 cups of granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Add 1 cup of mascarpone cheese and 1 tsp of vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  2. 3

    Whip Cream

    In another bowl, whip 1 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

Assembly

  1. 4

    Layer the Tiramisu

    Dip each ladyfinger cookie lightly into the cooled coffee mixture, then arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

  2. 5

    Repeat Layers

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

Chilling and Serving

  1. 6

    Chill

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

  2. 7

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.
