Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pints Mascarpone ice cream (or vanilla ice cream for substitution)
- 24 pieces Ladyfinger cookies
- 1.5 cups Espresso or strong coffee, brewed and cooled
- 0.25 cups Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ounce Dark chocolate (for grating on top, optional)
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
Instructions
Remove the mascarpone ice cream (or vanilla ice cream) from the freezer and let it soften slightly so it is easy to spread.
Brew the espresso or strong coffee and let it cool completely. If desired, stir in the coffee liqueur for an extra flavor boost.
In a medium bowl, whip the heavy cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until soft peaks form. Set aside for the final topping layer.
Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the cooled coffee mixture, ensuring not to oversaturate them. Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish or similar container.
Spread half of the softened mascarpone ice cream evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone ice cream.
Spread the whipped cream mixture evenly over the top layer of ice cream.
Dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve. If desired, grate dark chocolate over the top for added texture and flavor.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and freeze for at least 4-6 hours, or until fully set.
Before serving, let the tiramisu sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes to soften slightly. Cut into squares and serve immediately.
