Ingredients
- 24–30 ladyfingers
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 3 large eggs, separated
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
1. Prepare the Coffee
Brew the coffee and let it cool completely. Pour it into a shallow bowl.
2. Make the Cream
Beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone and vanilla extract, then mix until smooth.
3. Whip the Cream
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until light and fluffy. Gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
4. Dip the Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee. Avoid soaking them too long.
5. Layer the Tiramisu
Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in a rectangular baking dish. Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over them.
6. Add the Second Layer
Add another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, then spread the remaining cream evenly over the top.
7. Chill
Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, preferably overnight, so the layers can set properly.
8. Dust with Cocoa
Just before serving, generously sift unsweetened cocoa powder over the entire surface.
9. Serve
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy the creamy mascarpone, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, and rich cocoa flavor! ☕🍫🍰
