Tiramisu
Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert known for its rich and creamy layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cheese.
Ingredients
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 3 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and sugar. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Whisk constantly until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
- Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg yolk mixture and stir until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.
- In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for a few seconds, making sure not to oversaturate them.
- Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9 inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder.
