A traditional Italian dessert featuring layers of creamy mascarpone cheese and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, perfect for special occasions and gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 16 oz Mascarpone cheese
  • 4 egg yolks
  • â…” cup granulated or caster sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • 1 ½ cup heavy cream, chilled
  • 30–36 ladyfingers
  • 1 ½ cup strong black coffee, room temperature
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Cream the mascarpone cheese on medium speed for 30-60 seconds until creamy. Scrape the bowl and set aside.
  2. Prepare the egg yolks and sugar in a heat-proof bowl. Boil water in a saucepan and place the bowl on top. Whisk for exactly 2 minutes, then remove from heat.
  3. Combine the egg yolk mixture with the mascarpone cheese. Add salt and vanilla, then whisk on medium speed just until combined.
  4. Whip the cold heavy cream in a separate bowl until it reaches medium stiff peaks. Do not overmix.
  5. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in 2-3 additions, folding gently until well combined.
  6. Prepare the coffee in a wide bowl.
  7. Soak each ladyfinger quickly in the coffee and layer them in the bottom of an 8×9.5″ dish.
  8. Layer half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers.
  9. Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone cream on top.
  10. Chill the Tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 6 hours or ideally overnight.
  11. Serve with a dusting of cocoa powder on top. Cut into slices and enjoy!

Notes

Use quality coffee for the best flavor. It’s recommended to chill overnight for the flavors to meld.
