Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Coffee Mixture
Begin by brewing a strong coffee. Allow it to cool completely before using it for soaking the biscuits.
Step 2: Whip the Cream
In a mixing bowl, pour in the heavy whipping cream. Use a hand mixer to beat the cream until soft peaks form.
Step 3: Mix with Mascarpone
In another bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese with sugar and vanilla extract. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well blended.
Step 4: Soak the Biscuits
Take the cooled coffee and dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee, making sure not to soak them completely.
Step 5: Layer the Ingredients
In a rectangular dish, place a layer of soaked biscuits at the bottom. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the biscuits, smoothing it out evenly.
Step 6: Repeat Layers
Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers and then spread the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
Step 7: Chill the Tiramisu
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to enhance the flavors.
Step 8: Serve
Once chilled, take the tiramisu out of the fridge. Dust the top with cocoa powder before slicing and serving.
