A delightful classic tiramisu with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and velvety mascarpone cream, dusted with cocoa for an elegant finish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder

Instructions

  1. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until creamy. Gradually add the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened. Once thickened, remove from heat and let cool completely.
  2. Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Keep an eye on it; you want it fluffy, not buttery!
  3. Fold the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream until smooth to create the heart of your tiramisu.
  4. Mix your brewed coffee with coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish.
  5. Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the coffee mixture and layer them at the bottom of your serving dish.
  6. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it out.
  7. Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
  8. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes or overnight.
  9. Dust the top with cocoa powder before serving for that perfect finish.

Notes

Tiramisu can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, tightly covered.
