Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 4 Egg yolks
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1.5 cups Strong brewed coffee (cooled)
- 0.5 cups Kahlua liqueur
- 24 Ladyfinger cookies
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder (for dusting)
- 2 tablespoons Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, 1/2 cup of the heavy cream, and 1/2 cup of the granulated sugar. Beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
In another bowl, use an electric mixer to whip the remaining 1/2 cup of heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until evenly combined.
Set up a double boiler over simmering water. Whisk the egg yolks and the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar together in the top of the double boiler until the mixture becomes pale and thick (about 5 minutes). Remove from heat and whisk in the vanilla extract.
Allow the egg yolk mixture to cool slightly, then gently fold it into the mascarpone and whipped cream mixture. Set the mascarpone cream aside.
In a shallow dish, mix the cooled coffee and Kahlua liqueur together.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee-Kahlua mixture for about 1-2 seconds (do not oversoak), then arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of a 9x13-inch baking dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Dust the top with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder.
Repeat the process with another layer of dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream. Smooth the top with a spatula.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Before serving, dust the tiramisu with the remaining cocoa powder and sprinkle with optional dark chocolate shavings for an extra garnish.
