Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Egg yolks
- 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
- 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
- 1.5 cups Espresso or strong coffee
- 2 tablespoons Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 24 pieces Ladyfingers
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 ounce Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is thick and pale, about 5 minutes.
Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg and sugar mixture, and gently fold until smooth and well combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.
In a shallow dish, combine the espresso (or coffee) with the coffee liqueur, if using. Allow the mixture to cool if it is still warm.
One at a time, briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture. Make sure they are soaked but not too soggy.
Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish or similar serving dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
Before serving, sift the cocoa powder evenly over the top of the tiramisu.
If desired, use a vegetable peeler to shave the dark chocolate over the top for an additional garnish.
