Ingredients

For the Mascarpone Filling:

  • 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup heavy cream

For the Coffee Soaking Mixture:

  • 1 1/2 cups brewed espresso or strong coffee cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur optional
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar

For Assembling:

  • 24-30 ladyfinger cookies Savoiardi
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

  • In a shallow dish, combine the brewed espresso or coffee, coffee liqueur (if using), and 1/4 cup of granulated sugar. Stir until the sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  • In a mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup of granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until well combined and smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolks until they become pale in color.
  • Gently fold the whisked egg yolks into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until you have a smooth and creamy filling. Be gentle to maintain the light texture.
  • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture. Be careful not to soak them too long, just a quick dip to moisten them.
  • Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish or individual dessert cups.
  • Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers.
  • Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone filling.
  • Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  • Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with unsweetened cocoa powder
  • Serve your homemade tiramisu chilled and savor the layers of creamy goodness and coffee-infused flavor.
