This classic Italian Tiramisu recipe is a delightful dessert, combining layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, creamy mascarpone cheese, and a dusting of cocoa powder. A perfect treat for any occasion!
In a bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.
Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until combined.
In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, and arrange them in a single layer in a baking dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layers, topping with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Dust the top generously with cocoa powder. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, before serving.
Notes
For best results, use high-quality mascarpone cheese. You can also add a layer of whipped cream for extra richness.
