Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 250 ml Heavy cream
- 300 ml Espresso coffee
- 300 grams Ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 50 ml Marsala wine (optional)
Instructions
Brew 300 ml of espresso coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. If desired, stir in 50 ml of Marsala wine for added flavor.
In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks and 150 grams of granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy (about 3-5 minutes).
Gently fold 500 grams of mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip 250 ml of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, taking care not to deflate the cream.
Dip each ladyfinger biscuit briefly into the cooled espresso coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not overly saturated.
In a 9x9-inch (or similar-sized) dish, arrange a single layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers to cover the base entirely.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
Repeat with another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula.
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu generously with 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.
Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your homemade Tiramisu!
