Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 7 oz ladyfingers about 24 cookies
- 16 oz mascarpone cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy cream cold
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 1.5 cup brewed espresso or strong coffee cooled
- 0.25 cup coffee liqueur optional
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 0.125 tsp fine sea salt just a pinch to balance sweetness
- 0.25 cup unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- 2 tbsp dark chocolate shavings optional for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Stir the cooled espresso with coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish and set aside.
- In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream with 0.25 cup sugar and vanilla to medium-soft peaks. Do not overwhip.
- In a separate bowl, beat mascarpone, remaining 0.25 cup sugar, and the salt until smooth and creamy, about 30 seconds.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in two additions until just combined and fluffy.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture (about 1 second per side) and arrange a snug layer in an 8x8 inch dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, smoothing to the edges.
- Repeat with a second dipped-ladyfinger layer and top with the remaining cream. Cover and chill at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Just before serving, generously dust with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
Notes
For cleaner slices, freeze the tiramisu for 20 minutes before cutting. Swap coffee liqueur with milk for a kid-friendly version.
