Ingredients
Mascarpone Cream Layer
1 cup mascarpone cheese (240 g)
4 egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar (100 g)
1 cup heavy cream (240 ml)
Coffee Dipping Mix
1 cup espresso or strong brewed coffee, cooled
Ladyfinger Layer
24 ladyfinger cookies (Savoiardi)
Topping
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
Optional Flavors
1 tsp vanilla extract
Dark chocolate shavings for garnish
Instructions
1. Prepare the coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
2. Whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and fluffy.
3. Fold in the mascarpone until well combined.
4. Whip the heavy cream separately until stiff peaks form.
5. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
6. Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the coffee.
7. Place a layer of soaked ladyfingers in a dish (9×9-inch).
8. Spread half the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
9. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and cream.
10. Dust the top with cocoa powder.
11. Refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight for best texture.
Notes
For a caffeine-free version, use decaf espresso.
Tiramisu tastes even better the next day.
Substitute mascarpone with whipped cream cheese if unavailable.
Avoid over-soaking the ladyfingers—they fall apart.
