Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert featuring layers of "ladyfingers" soaked in espresso, topped with a creamy mascarpone mixture and dusted with cocoa. To prepare, layer the soaked "ladyfingers" with whipped mascarpone and cream, chill and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
Ingredients
Instructions
PREPARE THE MASCARPONE MIXTURE
Combine the mascarpone cheese, sugar and vanilla extract (in a medium-sized mixing bowl). Use a hand whisk or spatula to mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring the sugar dissolves completely.
Tip: Let the mascarpone come to room temperature before mixing for a smoother consistency.
WHIP THE CREAM
In a separate chilled bowl, pour the heavy cream and whip it with a hand mixer on medium speed. Gradually increase to high speed and whip until stiff peaks form, approximately 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to over-whip (it can turn into butter).
Tip: Use a chilled bowl and whisk to help the cream whip faster and hold its shape better.
FOLD THE CREAM INTO THE MASCARPONE
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula. Add the cream in batches, folding slowly to maintain the airy texture. Mix until fully combined and smooth, but avoid overmixing to preserve the fluffiness.
Tip: Use a gentle folding motion from the bottom up to prevent deflating the whipped cream.
PREPARE THE ESPRESSO DIPPING MIXTURE
Brew 1 cup of strong espresso and let it cool slightly. Pour the espresso into a shallow dish. If desired, you can add a splash of liqueur, like Marsala wine or coffee liqueur for added flavor.
Tip: Make sure the espresso is at room temperature or slightly warm to prevent the ladyfingers from getting too soggy.
ASSEMBLE THE TIRAMISU LAYERS
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaked. Place a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of your serving dish. Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the process, creating alternating layers of dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone until the dish is filled, ending with a mascarpone layer on top.
Tip: Work quickly when dipping the ladyfingers to avoid oversaturation, which can cause the tiramisu to collapse.
DUST WITH COCOA POWDER
Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust the top layer with cocoa powder. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
Tip: For a more dramatic finish, dust an additional layer of cocoa powder right before serving.
SERVE
Once the tiramisu is set, slice it into portions using a sharp knife. Serve chilled on plates and (if desired) garnish with chocolate shavings or a light dusting of additional cocoa powder.
Tip: Use a clean knife for each cut to keep the layers neat and presentable.
