A beautifully layered Italian dessert featuring creamy mascarpone and rich coffee-soaked ladyfingers.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup milk
  • 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/2 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 24 ladyfinger cookies
  • Cocoa powder for dusting
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions

  1. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale. Stir in the milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thickened. Remove from heat and let cool.
  2. Beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Fold in the mascarpone cheese into the whipped cream mixture until smooth.
  4. Combine the cooled egg mixture with the mascarpone mixture, and stir gently to integrate.
  5. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee and lay them in a single layer in a baking dish.
  6. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  8. Dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired before serving.

Notes

Tiramisu can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. Use cold equipment for whipping cream and consider alternatives for ladyfingers if necessary.
