Method

Preparation Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Coffee

    Brew the espresso coffee and let it cool. If using, mix in the coffee liqueur once cooled.

  2. 2

    Whip the Cream

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

  3. 3

    Mix the Mascarpone

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

  4. 4

    Combine Mixtures

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

  5. 5

    Dip the Ladyfingers

    Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

  6. 6

    Layer the Dessert

    In a rectangular dish, lay half of the soaked ladyfingers, followed by half of the mascarpone mixture. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

  7. 7

    Chill

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

  8. 8

    Serve

    Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and cut into squares. Enjoy your Tiramisu!
