Ingredients
- 500 g Mascarpone cheese, softened
- 600 ml heavy cream
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups coffee cooled
- 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 30 ladyfingers
Optional:
- 2 tbsp rum
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In a large bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Place the whipped cream in the fridge to keep it cold and stiff until you’re ready to use it.
- Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture: In another large bowl, cream together the mascarpone cheese, vanilla extract, and granulated sugar until smooth. Gently fold in half of the whipped cream to lighten the mascarpone mixture, then carefully fold in the remaining whipped cream, being cautious not to overmix.
- Prepare the Coffee Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix together the cooled coffee and rum (if using). Set aside. Have the cocoa powder and ladyfingers ready, along with a 9x9 inch square baking pan.
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, soaking them quickly so they don’t become too soggy. Arrange the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer on the bottom of the prepared baking pan. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Sift 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder over the mascarpone layer.
- Add the Second Layer: Repeat the process by dipping the remaining ladyfingers in the coffee mixture and arranging them on top of the first layer. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top and sift the remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder over the surface.
- Chill the Tiramisu: Cover the pan with plastic wrap and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or up to 24 hours, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Serve: Serve and enjoy!
