Recipe Description
This Best Ever Tiramisu Recipe brings the classic Italian dessert to your table. Featuring layers of delicate espresso-soaked ladyfingers, luscious mascarpone cream, and a dusting of cocoa, it’s an indulgence worth every bite. Perfect for celebrations or as a decadent treat!
Ingredients
- 300g ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
- 500g mascarpone cheese
- 4 large egg yolks
- 100g granulated sugar
- 300ml strong brewed espresso, cooled
- 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)
- 200ml heavy cream
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- Dark chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until thick and pale. This can take 3-5 minutes.
- Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg mixture and gently fold until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
- Combine the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they don’t become too soggy.
- Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a serving dish or a 9×9-inch pan.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out with a spatula.
- Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for 4-6 hours or overnight to set.
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
