A delicious Tiramisu recipe featuring layers of espresso soaked ladyfinger cookies and mascarpone cream topped with cocoa powder for an elegant, but easy, dessert!
Ingredients
- 1 cup espresso coffee, lukewarm
- 1 cup marsala wine
- 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, divided
- 5 large eggs, yolks and whites separated, room temperature
- 1 package (16 ounce) Mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 34 Ladyfingers cookies
- 3 Tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the coffee, marsala wine, and 1 cup granulated sugar. Set aside.
- Using a stand mixer (or hand mixer), beat egg YOLKS with ½ cup granulated sugar for about 5 minutes. Add in masacarpone cheese and beat an additional 3-5 minutes, until mixture is smooth and creamy. Set aside.
- In a separate mixing bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the egg white mixture into the egg YOLK mixture. Set aside.
- Take one ladyfinger cookie and dip it in the coffee mixture. Place in bottom of 11x7 baking dish (or 9-inch square). Add half of the mascarpone mixture on top of the cookies. Repeat dipping ladyfingers, and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Cover and refrigeratre for at least 4 hours, or overnight. Serve with a generous sprinkle of cocoa powder on top.
Notes
- Swap out the marsala wine for brandy, rum, or coffee liquor (Kahlua).
- If you can't find ladyfinger cookies, swap them out for a sponge cake instead.
- When beating egg whites, make sure the the mixing bowl is clean and dry.
- Eggs- while we love this classic recipe, we understand some people don't want to use raw eggs (even if pasteurized). To fix this, during step 2, whisk egg yolks with sugar in small saucepan until sugar is dissolved. Move eggs to stand mixer and continue. For the egg whites, swap them out with 1 cup of heavy whipping cream. Beat in bowl until stiff peaks. Fold into egg yolk mixture.
- Want more coffee flavor? Combine 1 teaspoon espresso powder with the cocoa powder on top.
- Store tiramisu in refrigerator for up to 3 days.
