Ingredients
- 6 whole Large eggs
- 1 cup Granulated sugar
- 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 1.5 cups Heavy cream
- 2 cups Strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 0.5 cup Coffee liqueur (optional)
- 2 packages Ladyfinger cookies
- 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Dark chocolate curls or shavings (optional)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, separate the egg yolks from the whites. Be sure no yolk gets mixed into the whites.
Step 2
Using a handheld mixer or stand mixer, beat the egg yolks with the granulated sugar on medium speed until the mixture is thick, pale, and creamy. This takes about 3-5 minutes.
Step 3
Add the mascarpone cheese to the yolk mixture and beat on low-speed until smooth and fully incorporated.
Step 4
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream.
Step 5
In another bowl, whisk the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur together (skip the liqueur if not using).
Step 6
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, one at a time, making sure not to oversoak them.
Step 7
In a large rectangular dish (roughly 9x13 inches), arrange the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer to cover the bottom.
Step 8
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the layer of ladyfingers.
Step 9
Repeat the process, creating a second layer of dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Smooth the surface with a spatula.
Step 10
Dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine sieve. Optionally, sprinkle with chocolate curls or shavings for extra decadence.
Step 11
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Step 12
When ready to serve, slice into squares and serve chilled. Enjoy your crowd-pleasing tiramisu!
