Delicious Classic Tiramisu

Ingredients

For the Cream Layer:
4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
1 cup heavy cream (cold)

For the Coffee Layer:
1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee or espresso (cooled to room temperature)
2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional, like Kahlúa or Amaretto)

For Assembly:
24 30 ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
Grated chocolate or chocolate shavings (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

1. Prepare the cream layer:
In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler) and whisk constantly for 5 7 minutes until the mixture becomes thick and pale. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
Fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the cold heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in two batches. Set aside.

2. Prepare the coffee mixture:
Combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish. Allow it to cool to room temperature if not already cooled.

3. Assemble the tiramisu:
Dip each ladyfinger quickly into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are coated but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.

4. Chill:
Cover the tiramisu and refrigerate for at least 4 6 hours, or overnight for the best flavor and texture.

5. Serve:
Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with grated chocolate or chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and serve cold.

Tips:
Use fresh, high quality espresso or coffee for the best flavor.
For a more boozy tiramisu, add a little coffee liqueur to the mascarpone mixture.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Tiramisu tastes even better the next day as the flavors meld.

This Classic Tiramisu is creamy, indulgent, and an absolute delight for dessert lovers! ☕🍰✨
