Ingredients

Method

Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew the espresso and let it cool. If desired, add coffee liqueur to the coffee.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

    In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.

  3. 3

    Mix Mascarpone

    In another bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth.

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

    Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.

  5. 5

    Dip Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso (and liqueur, if using), and layer them in a serving dish.

  6. 6

    Layer the Mixture

    Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers.

  7. 7

    Repeat Layers

    Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  8. 8

    Chill

    Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

  9. 9

    Serve

    Dust the top with cocoa powder before serving.
