Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Preparation Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Brew 1 cup of espresso coffee and allow it to cool. If desired, add coffee liqueur to the espresso.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    In a mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gradually add sugar while continuing to whip until stiff peaks form.

  3. 3

    Mix Mascarpone

    In a separate bowl, blend the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract until smooth. Gently fold in the whipped cream until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Layers

    Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the cooled espresso (do not soak) and layer them in a rectangular dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

  5. 5

    Repeat Layers

    Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  6. 6

    Chill and Serve

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