Ingredients:
For the Cream:
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup heavy cream (cold)
For the Layers:
• 1 cup brewed coffee (cooled)
• 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
• 1 pack of ladyfinger biscuits
• Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Coffee Mixture:
• Mix the cooled coffee with the coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside.
2. Make the Cream:
• In a mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.
• Add the mascarpone cheese and mix until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, whip the cold heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
• Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
3. Assemble the Tiramisu:
• Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee mixture. Be quick to prevent them from becoming soggy.
• Layer the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a dish.
• Spread a layer of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
• Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of cream on top.
4. Chill:
• Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).
5. Serve:
• Dust the top with cocoa powder before serving.
Enjoy your creamy homemade tiramisu!
