Easy Classic Tiramisu Recipe for Beginners
Easy Classic Tiramisu is a no-bake Italian dessert that layers delicate ladyfingers soaked in coffee with a creamy mascarpone mixture and dusted with cocoa powder. This simple yet elegant dessert is perfect for special occasions or when you want to indulge in a rich, coffee-flavored treat.
Ingredients
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee cooled
- 2 tbsp coffee liqueur optional
- 2 large eggs separated
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese softened
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 package 7 oz ladyfingers (savoiardi)
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- Dark chocolate shavings optional for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Coffee Mixture:
- In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside to cool completely.
- Make the Mascarpone Cream:
- In a medium bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar until pale and creamy.
- Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, then beat until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated.
- Prepare the Egg Whites:
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture for an extra light and airy texture.
- Assemble the Tiramisu:
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.
- Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of an 8x8-inch dish or similar-sized container.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
- Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers on top, followed by the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Chill the Tiramisu:
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Serve:
- Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with unsweetened cocoa powder using a fine mesh sieve.
- Garnish with chocolate shavings if desired. Slice and serve chilled.
Notes
- To make it alcohol-free, skip the coffee liqueur and replace it with additional brewed coffee.
- Use pasteurized eggs if concerned about consuming raw eggs. Alternatively, you can use egg-free mascarpone cream recipes.
- For a lighter version, you can substitute part of the mascarpone with cream cheese or Greek yogurt.
- Tiramisu can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator.
