Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 g Mascarpone cheese
- 250 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 100 g Granulated sugar
- 2 tsp Vanilla extract
- 300 ml Espresso, brewed and cooled
- 50 ml Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 300 g Ladyfingers
- 2 tbsp Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 g Dark chocolate, grated
- 150 g Fresh berries (e.g., raspberries, strawberries – optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat the mixture until smooth and creamy.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture to create a light, fluffy filling.
Combine the brewed and cooled espresso with the coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish to create the dipping liquid for the ladyfingers.
Prepare a trifle dish or a large glass bowl for assembling the tiramisu. Begin by dipping the ladyfingers into the espresso mixture one at a time, ensuring they are slightly moistened but not soaked.
Layer the dipped ladyfingers snugly at the bottom of the trifle dish to form the first layer.
Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone and cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers, ensuring full coverage.
Dust the mascarpone layer with a light sprinkle of cocoa powder and grated dark chocolate.
Repeat layering the dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, cocoa powder, and grated chocolate until you reach the top of the dish. Aim for at least 2-3 layers.
If desired, garnish the top of the tiramisu with fresh berries for a pop of color and added freshness.
Chill the trifle tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours or overnight to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Serve the chilled tiramisu in individual bowls or scoop directly from the trifle dish. Enjoy!
