Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- Ladyfingers – 24 pieces
- Mascarpone cheese – 500g
- Coconut milk or cream – 1 cup (240ml)
- Raffaello candies – 12 pieces, roughly chopped
- Shredded coconut – 1/2 cup
- Sugar – 1/3 cup (65g)
- Whipped cream – 1 cup (240ml), softly whipped
- Vanilla extract – 1 tsp
- Coconut liqueur or rum (optional) – 1/4 cup (60ml)
Instructions
- Prepare the Coconut Mascarpone Cream: In a chilled bowl, combine 500g mascarpone cheese, 1 cup coconut milk or cream, 1/3 cup sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract. Beat gently until the mixture is smooth and creamy. In a separate bowl, whip 1 cup of cream until soft peaks form, then fold it carefully into the mascarpone mixture to keep the texture light and fluffy.
- Soak the Ladyfingers: Pour 1 cup of coconut milk or coconut liqueur into a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the liquid, making sure not to soak too long so they remain firm but infused with flavor.
- Assemble the Layers: Start by layering soaked ladyfingers in your serving dish or individual glasses. Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone coconut cream over the ladyfingers. Sprinkle shredded coconut and roughly chopped Raffaello candies on top. Repeat the layers until you fill your dish, finishing with a creamy layer and topping with more shredded coconut and whole Raffaello candies for garnish.
- Chill and Set: Cover your assembled tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. This chilling time allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set perfectly.
Notes
- Choose high-quality mascarpone for best creaminess and flavor.
- Do not oversoak the ladyfingers to avoid sogginess.
- Fold whipped cream gently to maintain a light texture in mascarpone cream.
- Use fresh coconut flakes for better texture and natural flavor.
- Allow the tiramisu to rest and chill overnight to enhance flavor and consistency.
