A classic Italian dessert that combines layers of delicate ladyfingers soaked in coffee and a rich mascarpone cream.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies
  • Cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  1. Whisking the Egg Yolks and Sugar: In a saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until pale. Add milk and cook over medium heat, stirring until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Whipping the Heavy Cream: In a large bowl, whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form, transforming it into a fluffy mound of deliciousness.
  3. Folding in the Mascarpone: Fold the mascarpone into the cooled egg mixture, ensuring a silky-smooth blend that will provide the ultimate creaminess.
  4. Dipping the Ladyfingers: Combine cooled coffee and coffee liqueur in a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, allowing them to soak up the flavor without becoming soggy.
  5. Layering the Tiramisu: Layer half of the dipped ladyfingers in a dish, then spread half of the mascarpone mixture on top. Repeat this process, creating indulgent layers of flavor.
  6. Chilling Time: Cover and refrigerate for at least 240 minutes or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and intensify.
  7. Final Touch: Before serving, dust with cocoa powder to give it that classic finishing touch, making it as beautiful as it is delicious.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh ingredients and quality coffee. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
