Classic Tiramisu Recipe

homemade tiramisu!


Ingredients:

  • For the Cream Layer:

    • 4 large eggs, separated
    • 1 cup (200g) granulated sugar, divided
    • 1 cup (240ml) mascarpone cheese
    • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

  • For the Coffee Soak:

    • 1 1/2 cups (360ml) strong brewed coffee, cooled
    • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional, e.g., Kahlúa)

  • For Assembly:

    • 24-30 ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
    • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
    • Dark chocolate shavings (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Cream Layer:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and 1/2 cup (100g) of sugar together until thick and pale.
    • Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg yolk mixture and beat until smooth.
    • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

  2. Prepare the Egg Whites:

    • In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites with the remaining 1/2 cup (100g) of sugar until stiff peaks form.
    • Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to deflate the mixture.

  3. Prepare the Coffee Soak:

    • In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).

  4. Assemble the Tiramisu:

    • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, making sure they are soaked but not soggy. Line the bottom of a 9x13 inch (23x33 cm) dish with a single layer of soaked ladyfingers.
    • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers in an even layer.
    • Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone layer.
    • Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the second layer of ladyfingers.

  5. Chill and Serve:

    • Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
    • Just before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired.

Enjoy your homemade tiramisu!
