Materials
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 oz mascarpone cheese room temperature
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups cold espresso
- 3 tablespoons coffee-flavored liqueur optional; Kahlua or DaVinci recommended
- 1 package ladyfingers Savoiardi brand recommended
Instructions
- Prepare the Mascarpone Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, beat heavy whipping cream on medium speed using a hand or stand mixer. Gradually add the sugar and vanilla extract while mixing. Continue beating until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until fully combined. Set the mixture aside.
- Prepare the Coffee Soak:
- In a shallow bowl, mix the cold espresso with coffee-flavored liqueur (if using). Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring both sides are moistened but not soaked.
- Assemble the Tiramisu:
- Arrange a single layer of dipped ladyfingers on the bottom of the 8x8-inch dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Add a second layer of dipped ladyfingers on top.
- Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture evenly across the top layer.
- Finish with Cocoa Powder:
- Use a fine mesh strainer to dust a generous layer of cocoa powder over the tiramisu.
- Chill:
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Slice and serve chilled for a creamy, decadent dessert experience.

- Make Ahead: Tiramisu tastes even better when made a day in advance, allowing the flavors to deepen.
- Serving Tip: For clean slices, use a sharp knife wiped clean between cuts.
Storage Instructions: - Refrigerator: Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
- Freezer: Assemble the tiramisu without the cocoa powder. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and foil, then freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
