Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Espresso

    Brew a strong cup of espresso and let it cool. If using, mix in the coffee liqueur.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, combine egg yolks and granulated sugar. Whisk until pale and creamy. Add mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  3. 3

    Whip the Cream

    In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso, making sure not to soak them too long. Layer half of the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

  5. 5

    Repeat Layers

    Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  6. 6

    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.
