Ingredients
Scale
For the Cream Mixture
- 400g mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
For the Layers
- 200g ladyfingers (savoiardi)
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
For Topping
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Instructions
- Brew and Cool Coffee: Prepare strong coffee or espresso and allow it to cool completely to prevent the ladyfingers from becoming soggy when soaked.
- Whip the Cream: In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with granulated sugar and vanilla extract until soft peaks form, creating a light and airy texture.
- Combine Mascarpone and Whipped Cream: Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream, mixing until smooth and uniform without deflating the volume.
- Dip Ladyfingers in Coffee: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they absorb enough liquid but remain firm and not overly soggy.
- Layer the Dessert: Arrange a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers in a serving dish, then spread a generous layer of the mascarpone cream over them. Repeat the layers, finishing with a thick layer of cream on top.
- Chill and Dust: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow flavors to meld and the texture to set. Just before serving, dust the top evenly with cocoa powder.
Notes
- Use cold mascarpone and cream for a silkier texture.
- Briefly dip ladyfingers in coffee to avoid sogginess.
- Allow enough chilling time for the best flavor and firm yet creamy texture.
- Use freshly brewed strong coffee or espresso for optimal taste.
- Dust cocoa powder just before serving to maintain appearance and flavor.
