Ingredients
Scale
For the Cream Mixture
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream (360 ml)
- 8 ounce container mascarpone cheese, room temperature (225 g)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar (67 g)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (5 ml)
For the Layers
- 1 1/2 cups cold espresso, prepared (360 ml)
- 3 Tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur, optional (Kahlua or DaVinci brands) (45 ml)
- 1 package Lady Fingers, Savoiardi brand
- Cocoa powder for dusting the top
Instructions
- Prepare the Mascarpone Cream: In a mixing bowl, add the heavy whipping cream and beat on medium speed with an electric mixer or stand mixer. Slowly add the sugar and vanilla extract while continuously beating until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until the mixture is smooth and fully combined. Set aside.
- Dip the Ladyfingers: Combine the cold espresso and the coffee flavored liqueur (if using) in a shallow bowl. Quickly dip each ladyfinger briefly on both sides in the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moist but not soaked, and arrange them in a single layer in the bottom of an 8×8-inch or similarly sized pan.
- Assemble the First Layer: Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the layer of dipped ladyfingers in the pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
- Add Second Layer: Repeat the dipping process for a second layer of ladyfingers, placing them over the mascarpone cream layer. Then, spread the remaining mascarpone cream on top, smoothing the surface once again.
- Finish and Chill: Generously dust the top of the assembled tiramisu with cocoa powder using a fine mesh strainer for an even coating. Refrigerate the dessert for at least 3 to 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set before serving.
Notes
- Use cold espresso to prevent the ladyfingers from becoming too soggy.
- Do not soak ladyfingers for too long; a quick dip keeps the texture perfect.
- If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, omit the coffee liqueur without compromising flavor.
- For best results, refrigerate overnight to enhance flavor melding.
- Serve chilled and consume within 2 days for optimal freshness.
