Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
- 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
- 4 large Egg yolks
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 240 milliliters Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 240 milliliters Espresso (or strong coffee)
- 2 tablespoons Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 30 grams Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy. This will take about 3-4 minutes.
Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg mixture and gently fold until smooth and fully combined.
In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and vanilla extract together until it forms medium peaks. Be careful not to overwhip.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in batches, ensuring it remains light and airy.
In a shallow dish, combine the espresso (or strong coffee) with the coffee liqueur, if using.
One at a time, dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for 1-2 seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy.
Arrange the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish or similar-sized baking dish, creating an even layer.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfinger layer, smoothing it out with a spatula.
Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust the top layer generously with unsweetened cocoa powder. Optionally, sprinkle dark chocolate shavings over the top for added richness.
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your Olive Garden-inspired tiramisu!
