Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 240 ml Heavy cream
- 300 ml Espresso coffee
- 60 ml Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 300 grams Ladyfingers (savoiardi)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 grams Dark chocolate (optional, for topping)
Instructions
In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until the mixture is pale, thick, and creamy. This will take about 5 minutes of vigorous whisking or using a hand mixer on medium speed.
Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture using a spatula. Mix until smooth and creamy, ensuring there are no lumps.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Be careful not to overwhip the cream.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in three additions. Use a light hand to maintain the airy texture.
Prepare the espresso coffee and allow it to cool slightly. If using, stir the coffee liqueur into the cooled espresso.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. This process should take 1-2 seconds per ladyfinger.
In a 9x13-inch (or similarly sized) dish, arrange a single layer of soaked ladyfingers, covering the bottom completely.
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers using a spatula.
Place another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone layer, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture. Smooth the top evenly.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
Before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. For an extra touch, grate dark chocolate over the top, if desired.
Slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy this rich and creamy dessert!
