Ingredients
-
1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
-
1 cup (225 g) mascarpone cheese, cool (not fridge-cold)
-
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
-
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
-
1½ cups strong brewed coffee or espresso, cooled
-
24–28 ladyfingers (savoiardi)
-
Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
-
Optional: 1–2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (omit for alcohol-free)
Instructions
-
Prepare the cream:
Whip the cold heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside. -
Mix mascarpone:
In a separate bowl, gently loosen the mascarpone with sugar and vanilla until smooth. -
Combine:
Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in batches until thick, smooth, and spreadable. Do not overmix. -
Dip the ladyfingers:
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee (1 second per side). Do not soak. -
Assemble:
Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in a dish. Spread an even layer of cream on top. Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and finish with cream. -
Chill:
Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. -
Finish:
Dust generously with cocoa powder just before serving.
Notes
-
Do not over-dip the ladyfingers — they soften as the tiramisu chills.
-
Mascarpone should be cool, not cold, to avoid grainy cream.
-
For a firmer, sliceable texture, chill overnight.
-
This recipe is naturally egg-free and can be made alcohol-free.
