Ingredients

For the Coffee Mixture

• 1 ½ cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
• 1–2 tablespoons coffee liqueur, optional

For the Mascarpone Cream

• 6 large egg yolks
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

For the Layers

• 24–30 ladyfinger cookies
• Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
• Dark chocolate shavings, optional

How to Make Tiramisu

1. Prepare the Coffee

Brew strong coffee and let it cool completely. If desired, mix in coffee liqueur for extra flavor.

2. Make the Mascarpone Cream

In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.

In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until light and creamy.

3. Dip the Ladyfingers

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee mixture. Do not soak them for too long, or they may become too soft.

4. Create the First Layer

Arrange the coffee-soaked ladyfingers in a single layer in a serving dish.

Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers.

5. Add the Second Layer

Add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.

Smooth the top with a spatula.

6. Chill the Tiramisu

Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to blend and gives the tiramisu its classic soft texture.

7. Add Cocoa

Just before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Add a few dark chocolate shavings if desired.

Helpful Tips

• Use strong coffee for the best flavor.
• Do not over-soak the ladyfingers.
• Chill the tiramisu for at least 6 hours for the best texture.
• For the richest flavor, let it rest overnight.
• Dust with cocoa powder just before serving.
