Ingredients
Instructions
-
Prepare the Coffee: Brew a strong cup of espresso or coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. You can also chill it in the refrigerator for faster cooling.
-
Make the Mascarpone Mixture: In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture becomes pale and slightly thick. This takes about 3-4 minutes.
-
Add Mascarpone: Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until well combined. Set aside.
-
Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
-
Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
-
Layering: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, making sure not to soak them too long, and arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish or individual glasses.
-
Mascarpone Layer: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
-
Repeat Layers: Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone mixture. Finish with the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
-
Chill: Cover the dish or glasses with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
-
Serve: Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
-
Enjoy: Serve chilled and savor this classic Italian dessert!
