Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Ladyfingers
- 180 ml Strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 250 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 300 ml Heavy whipping cream
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 20 grams Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Line an 8x8-inch square baking dish with parchment paper, leaving an overhang on the sides for easy removal later.
In a small bowl, add the cooled brewed coffee. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee (one at a time) and arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Avoid oversoaking the ladyfingers.
In a large mixing bowl, combine mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Use a hand mixer or a whisk to beat until smooth and creamy.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a spatula until fully incorporated, creating a light and airy tiramisu cream.
Spread half of the tiramisu cream evenly over the layer of soaked ladyfingers in the baking dish.
Create a second layer by dipping more ladyfingers in the coffee and arranging them on top of the cream layer.
Spread the remaining tiramisu cream over the second layer of ladyfingers, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Lightly sift cocoa powder over the top layer of cream for a classic tiramisu finish.
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and place it in the freezer for at least 6 hours or overnight until firm.
When ready to serve, use the parchment overhang to lift the frozen tiramisu out of the dish. Cut into squares using a sharp knife.
Garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired, and serve immediately.
