Ingredients

• 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
• 6 large Egg yolks
• 150 grams Granulated sugar
• 250 ml Heavy cream
• 300 ml Espresso coffee
• 300 grams Ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 50 ml Marsala wine (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Brew 300 ml of espresso coffee and allow it to cool to room temperature. If desired, stir in 50 ml of Marsala wine for added flavor.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks and 150 grams of granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy (about 3-5 minutes).

Step 3

Gently fold 500 grams of mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until smooth and well combined.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whip 250 ml of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, taking care not to deflate the cream.

Step 5

Dip each ladyfinger biscuit briefly into the cooled espresso coffee, ensuring they are soaked but not overly saturated.

Step 6

In a 9x9-inch (or similar-sized) dish, arrange a single layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers to cover the base entirely.

Step 7

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.

Step 8

Repeat with another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture, smoothing the top with a spatula.

Step 9

Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

Step 10

Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu generously with 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve.

Step 11

Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your homemade Tiramisu!
