Ingredients
Scale
Mascarpone cream:
- 16 oz Mascarpone cheese (450g), cold from the fridge – I recommend Galbani
- 4 egg yolks
- ⅔ cup granulated or caster sugar (133g)*
- 1 tsp vanilla
- ¼ tsp salt
- 1 ½ cup heavy cream, chilled (360g) OR 4 egg whites
Assembly:
- 30–36 ladyfingers*
- 1 ½ cup strong black coffee, room temperature (360g)*
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder to dust
Instructions
- Prepare Mascarpone cream: In a bowl, combine Mascarpone cheese, egg yolks, sugar, vanilla, and salt. Whip heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the Mascarpone mixture.
- Assemble Tiramisu: Dip ladyfingers in coffee and layer them in a dish. Spread half of the Mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and cream. Dust with cocoa powder.
Notes
- For a stronger coffee flavor, add a shot of espresso to the coffee mixture.
- Allow the Tiramisu to chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours before serving for the best taste and texture.
