Ingredients
Scale
- 6 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 cups mascarpone cheese
- 1 ½ cups heavy cream
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
- ½ cup coffee liqueur (optional)
- 2 packs of ladyfingers
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
- Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee Mixture: Combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish and set aside.
- Make the Mascarpone Filling: Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a bowl until thick and pale. Fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
- Whip the Cream: In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form, then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
- Beat the Egg Whites: In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold them into the mascarpone mixture.
- Soak the Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
- Chill and Serve: Dust the top with cocoa powder and chocolate shavings. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
