Detailed Directions and Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture
In a large mixing bowl, add the cold heavy whipping cream. Beat on medium speed for about 1 minute until it begins to thicken. Sift in the powdered sugar and add the vanilla extract. Continue mixing until soft peaks form. Then, mix in the mascarpone cheese and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
Step 2: Prepare the Coffee and Ladyfingers
Brew 1 cup of strong coffee or espresso and pour it into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip the ladyfingers in the coffee, ensuring to coat them without soaking for too long to prevent them from falling apart. Arrange a single layer of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of an 8×8 inch pan.
Step 3: Assemble the Tiramisu
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers. Add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers on top of the mascarpone. Then, spread or pipe the remaining mascarpone cream on top to finish the layers. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or preferably overnight.
Step 4: Serve the Tiramisu
Once the tiramisu has set, take it out of the refrigerator. Use a fine mesh strainer to dust a generous amount of unsweetened cocoa powder over the top. Slice into squares and enjoy!
Notes
Tip 1: Ladyfinger Variation
You can use store-bought ladyfingers or homemade ones if preferred. Ensure they are fresh for better texture.
Tip 2: Coffee Alternatives
For a non-caffeinated version, substitute the coffee with strong brewed herbal tea or use decaffeinated coffee.
Tip 3: Serving Suggestions
Tiramisu pairs well with a dusting of chocolate shavings or chocolate curls for added decoration and flavor.
Tip 4: Storage Instructions
Keep any leftovers covered in the refrigerator. Tiramisu is best consumed within a couple of days for optimal freshness.
