Tiramisu Ingredients

Method

Tiramisu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, vanilla extract, and heavy cream. Whip until the mixture is smooth and forms soft peaks.

  2. 2

    Dip the Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the cooled espresso coffee, making sure not to soak them. Place a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.

  3. 3

    Layer the Mixture

    Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers. Smooth out the top with a spatula.

  4. 4

    Repeat Layers

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

  5. 5

    Chill

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and, if desired, sprinkle with grated dark chocolate. Cut into squares and enjoy!
