Recipe Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounce container mascarpone cheese ,room temperature
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups cold espresso
- 3 Tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur ,optional (Kahlua or DaVinci brands)
- 1 package Lady Fingers ,Savoiardi brand can be found in the cookie aisle at your local grocery store, or online
- Cocoa powder for dusting the top
How To Make Tiramisu Recipe?
- Prepare the mascarpone cream mixture: Beat the heavy whipping cream in a mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer or stand mixer on medium speed. Slowly add sugar and vanilla extract while beating until stiff peaks form. Fold in the mascarpone cheese until fully combined and smooth. Set aside.
- Dip and layer the Lady Fingers: Combine cold espresso and coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow bowl. Quickly dip the Lady Fingers into the mixture on both sides (do not soak). Arrange a single layer of dipped Lady Fingers in the base of an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) or similarly sized pan.
- Add the first mascarpone layer: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the Lady Fingers layer.
- Repeat layering: Add another layer of dipped Lady Fingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture spread smoothly on top.
- Dust with cocoa powder: Generously dust the top layer with cocoa powder using a fine mesh strainer.
- Refrigerate before serving: Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight for the best texture and flavor.
Recipe Tips:
- Use room temperature mascarpone: Cold mascarpone can make the mixture lumpy. Let it sit at room temperature before folding it into the whipped cream for a silky-smooth texture.
- Don’t over-soak the Lady Fingers: A quick dip in the coffee is enough. Over-soaking will make them soggy and ruin the dessert’s structure.
- Chill for at least 4 hours: Refrigeration allows the flavors to blend and the tiramisu to set properly. Overnight chilling is even better for a firmer texture and richer taste.
- Dust cocoa powder just before serving: This keeps the cocoa fresh and prevents it from absorbing moisture while chilling.
- Use high-quality coffee or espresso: The coffee flavor is key to a great tiramisu. Choose a strong, freshly brewed espresso or your favorite bold coffee blend for the best taste.
How To Store Leftovers?
- Refrigerate: Cover the tiramisu tightly with plastic wrap or an airtight lid and store it in the refrigerator. It will stay fresh for up to 3 days.
- Freeze: Tiramisu can be frozen for up to 2 months. Cover it tightly with plastic wrap and aluminum foil before freezing.
