Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 125 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 60 milliliters Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 100 milliliters Espresso
- 8 pieces Ladyfinger cookies
- 1 teaspoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 5 grams Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract.
Using a hand mixer or whisk, beat the mixture until it forms soft peaks and is light and fluffy. Set aside.
In a shallow dish, pour the espresso and let it cool to room temperature.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso, ensuring both sides are coated but not soggy.
In two serving glasses or ramekins, start layering: place a layer of espresso-dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of each glass.
Spoon a layer of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
Repeat the layers until you use all ingredients, finishing with a mascarpone layer on top.
Dust the top layer generously with cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.
If desired, grate dark chocolate on top for garnish.
Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
Serve cold and enjoy!
