Ingredients for Tiramisu Recipe
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
  • 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 2 packages Italian ladyfingers (7 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/4 cup grated dark chocolate (optional)
Instructions for Tiramisu Recipe
  1. 1
    Prepare the Coffee: Brew 2 cups of strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature. Add coffee liqueur if using.
  2. 2
    Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar: In a heatproof bowl, whisk together egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
  3. 3
    Cook the Egg Mixture: Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and cook, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens and reaches a temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
  4. 4
    Combine with Mascarpone: In a separate bowl, gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the cooled egg mixture until smooth and well combined.
  5. 5
    Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  6. 6
    Fold the Cream into Mascarpone Mixture: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.
  7. 7
    Dip the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
  8. 8
    Layer the Tiramisu: Arrange half of the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer in a 9x13 inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  9. 9
    Chill: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
  10. 10
    Dust with Cocoa Powder: Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with unsweetened cocoa powder and sprinkle with grated dark chocolate if desired.

Note

Tiramisu Recipe Variation Options:

  • Alcohol-Free Tiramisu: Omit the coffee liqueur and use decaffeinated coffee if desired.
  • Berry Tiramisu: Add a layer of fresh berries between the ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture for a fruity twist.
  • Chocolate Tiramisu: Incorporate a layer of melted dark chocolate or chocolate ganache between the layers.

Tiramisu Recipe Cooking Tips:

  • Egg Mixture: Make sure to cook the egg yolk mixture over simmering water to avoid curdling. It should thicken enough to coat the back of a spoon.
  • Whipping Cream: Ensure the heavy cream is cold before whipping to achieve stiff peaks more easily.
  • Ladyfingers: Dip the ladyfingers quickly to prevent them from becoming too soggy and falling apart.

Serving Suggestions:

  • Presentation: Serve in individual glasses or a trifle dish for an elegant presentation.
  • Garnish: Garnish with fresh mint leaves, chocolate curls, or a dusting of powdered sugar for added flair.
  • Beverage Pairing: Pair with a glass of Vin Santo, espresso, or a dessert wine for a delightful experience.
