Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Nilla wafers
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 240 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 50 grams Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 240 ml Espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 10 grams Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using an electric mixer, beat the mixture on medium-high speed until it forms stiff peaks. Be careful not to overbeat as the cream can turn grainy.
Pour the cooled espresso or strong coffee into a shallow bowl.
Quickly dip each Nilla wafer into the coffee mixture, ensuring both sides are coated but not soaked.
Arrange a single layer of the coffee-dipped Nilla wafers in the bottom of a 9x9 inch pan or a similar-sized dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the wafers using a spatula.
Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-dipped Nilla wafers, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the wafers to soften.
Just before serving, sift cocoa powder over the top of the tiramisu for a classic finish. If desired, garnish with dark chocolate shavings for extra indulgence.
Cut into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy!
