Lady Fingers

Mascarpone Mousse

Chocolate Ganache

Toppings

Method

Prepare Lady Fingers

  1. 1

    Soak Lady Fingers

    In a shallow dish, combine espresso coffee and coffee liqueur. Quickly dip each lady finger into the mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

Make Mascarpone Mousse

  1. 2

    Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture

    In a bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture. Add the egg yolks and coffee liqueur, mixing until combined.

Make Chocolate Ganache

  1. 3

    Prepare the Ganache

    In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream until just simmering. Remove from heat and add the dark chocolate, letting it sit for a few minutes before stirring until smooth.

Assemble Tiramisu

  1. 4

    Layer the Tiramisu

    In a serving dish, arrange half of the soaked lady fingers in a single layer. Spread half of the mascarpone mousse over the lady fingers, followed by half of the chocolate ganache. Repeat the layers with the remaining ingredients.

Chill and Serve

  1. 5

    Chill

    Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.

  2. 6

    Serve

    Before serving, top with whipped cream, dark chocolate crumble, and fresh berries.
