Preparation Steps

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew strong coffee and allow it to cool. If desired, stir in coffee liqueur once cooled.

  2. 2

    Make the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy. Add mascarpone and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth.

  3. 3

    Beat Egg Whites

    In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture to lighten it.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Tiramisu

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they absorb some coffee but do not get soggy. Layer half the dipped ladyfingers in a rectangular dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.

  5. 5

    Chill and Serve

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
