Tiramisu
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounce container mascarpone cheese
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups cold espresso
- 3 Tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur
- 1 package Lady Fingers
- Cocoa powder for dusting the top
Directions
- 1
Add whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with electric mixers (or use a stand mixer). Slowly add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks. Add mascarpone cheese and fold in until combined. Set aside.
- 2
Add coffee and liqueur to a shallow bowl. Dip the lady fingers in the coffee (Don't soak them--just quickly dip them on both sides to get them wet) and lay them in a single layer on the bottom of an 8x8'' or similar size pan.
- 3
Smooth half of the mascarpone mixture over the top. Add another layer of dipped lady fingers. Smooth remaining mascarpone cream over the top.
- 4
Dust cocoa powder generously over the top (I use a fine mesh strainer to do this). Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or up to overnight before serving.

Customization & Variations
While this classic Tiramisu is perfect as is, you can easily adapt it to your preferences. For an alcohol-free version, simply omit the coffee flavored liqueur, as the espresso provides plenty of flavor. If you prefer a milder coffee experience, opt for decaffeinated espresso. A sprinkle of finely grated dark chocolate could also replace cocoa powder for a different visual and taste, or add a pinch of cinnamon to the cocoa for a subtle spice note.
This elegant Tiramisu is the perfect capstone to any meal, whether it's a cozy family dinner or a festive gathering. Serve it chilled for the ultimate refreshing dessert.
