Equipment
- Mixing bowl
- electric mixer
- shallow bowl
- fine mesh strainer
- 8x8 inch pan
Ingredients
Whipping Cream and Mascarpone
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream 360 ml
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese room temperature (225 g)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar 67 g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 ml
Espresso and Liqueur
- 1.5 cups cold espresso prepared (360 ml)
- 3 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur optional (Kahlua or DaVinci brands) (45 ml)
Lady Fingers
- 1 package Lady Fingers Savoiardi brand can be found in the cookie aisle
Dusting
- cocoa powder for dusting the top
Instructions
Preparation
- Add whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with electric mixers (or use a stand mixer). Slowly add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks. Add mascarpone cheese and fold in until combined. Set aside.
- Add coffee and liqueur to a shallow bowl. Dip the lady fingers in the coffee (Don't soak them–just quickly dip them on both sides to get them wet) and lay them in a single layer on the bottom of an 8×8'' or similar size pan.
- Smooth half of the mascarpone mixture over the top. Add another layer of dipped lady fingers. Smooth remaining mascarpone cream over the top.
- Dust cocoa powder generously over the top (I use a fine mesh strainer to do this). Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or up to overnight before serving.
Notes
Tiramisu can be made with or without alcohol. Make ahead for better flavor blending. It can be frozen for up to 3 months without dusting with cocoa powder.
