Description
Indulge in this Italian Tiramisu that’s better than takeout, featuring layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a rich, creamy mascarpone filling.
Ingredients
Scale
- 6 egg yolks
- ¾ cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 2 cups cooled espresso or strong coffee
- 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
- 24 ladyfingers
- Unsweetened cocoa powder
- Dark chocolate curls (optional for garnish)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
- Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until well combined.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks and fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
- In a shallow dish, combine the cooled espresso and coffee liqueur.
