Ingredients
  • 12 ounces brewed espresso or strong coffee, cooled (1 and 1/2 cups coffee)
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 12 ounces heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 24 ladyfingers 24-30 (savoiardi)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Dark chocolate shavings, for garnish (optional)
Instructions
  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Add Mascarpone: Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until well combined. Set aside.
  4. Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form.
  5. Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until smooth and well incorporated.
  6. 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.
  7. Mascarpone Layer: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  8. Repeat Layers: Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone mixture. Finish with the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
  9. 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.
  10. Serve: Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
  11. Enjoy: Serve chilled and savor this classic Italian dessert!
