Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole Large eggs
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cups Strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 0.5 cup Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 2 packages Ladyfinger cookies
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate curls or shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, separate the egg yolks from the whites. Be sure no yolk gets mixed into the whites.
Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg yolks with the granulated sugar on medium speed until the mixture is thick, pale, and creamy. This takes about 3-5 minutes.
Add the mascarpone cheese to the yolk mixture and beat on low-speed until smooth and fully incorporated.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream.
In another bowl, whisk the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur together (skip the liqueur if not using).
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, one at a time, making sure not to oversoak them.
In a large rectangular dish (roughly 9x13 inches), arrange the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer to cover the bottom.
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
Repeat the process, creating a second layer of dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine sieve. Optionally, sprinkle with chocolate curls or shavings for extra decadence.
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
When ready to serve, slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your crowd-pleasing tiramisu!
