Easy Tiramisu Recipe
This easy tiramisu recipe is my favorite make-ahead Italian dessert! Creamy mascarpone cheese, strong brew coffee dipped ladyfingers, a dusting of cocoa powder… and no raw eggs. This is heaven in a baking dish!
Ingredients
- 9 large egg yolks (160 grams)
- 1/2 cup (99g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (74ml) Amaretto liqueur
- 16 ounces (460g) mascarpone room temperature
- 2 and 1/4 cups (511ml) cold heavy whipping cream
- 2 Tablespoons (22g) confectioners’ sugar
- 2 cups (454ml) freshly brewed strong coffee
- 1 ounce (28g) dark chocolate
- 1/3 cup (28g) dutch-process cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup (68ml) Kahlua liqueur
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 48 hard ladyfingers
Instructions
- Place a large heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bowl fits snugly on top of the pan and the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water.
- Add the yolks and sugar into the bowl and cream together with a whisk. Add amaretto and continue to whisk until the mixture is very thick and almost doubled in volume, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the mascarpone, a little bit at a time, until the mixture is smooth and the cheese is completely combined. Set aside.
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream and confections’s sugar with a handheld electric mixer on medium-speed. Whip until medium-soft peaks form. Then fold the whipped cream into mascarpone mixture, and stir well to combine.
- In a small saucepan, combine hot coffee, chocolate, and cocoa powder. Whisk well to melt the chocolate and combine the ingredients. Stir in the Kahlua and vanilla. Cool for 5 minutes.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and arrange in a single layer on the bottom of a . Be careful not to soak the lady fingers too long, or they'll become soggy.
- Spread half the mascarpone cream mixture on top of the lady fingers, and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Repeat with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving. Or up to 24 hours. Dust with cocoa powder before serving!
