Ingredients
24 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
1 cup strong brewed coffee (cooled)
16 oz mascarpone cheese (cold)
1 1/4 cups heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
2 tbsp cocoa powder (for dusting)
Optional: grated chocolate or chocolate curls for garnish
Instructions
1. Brew the coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
2. In a large bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
3. In another bowl, beat mascarpone with powdered sugar and vanilla until smooth.
4. Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until combined and fluffy.
5. Dip ladyfingers quickly into the coffee (don’t soak), and layer them at the bottom of a cake ring or springform pan.
6. Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, ending with cream.
7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight).
8. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate curls if desired.
9. Unmold the dessert, slice like a cake, and serve chilled.
Notes
Do not over-soak ladyfingers or the structure will collapse.
Best made a day ahead to allow flavors and texture to develop.
For extra firmness, place the assembled tiramisu in the freezer for 30 minutes before slicing.
