What You Need:

• 200g ladyfinger cookies (they look like dry biscuits).
• 250g Mascarpone cheese (soft cheese).
• 3 egg yolks
• ⅓ cup of sugar
• ¾ cup cold heavy cream
• 1 cup brewed coffee (make it strong, let it cool).

• Cocoa powder (for topping)

How to Make Tiramisu Step by Step

Make the Cream

• Put egg yolks + sugar in a bowl.
• Place it over a pot of hot water (not inside). Whisk for 5–6 minutes until light and creamy. Let it cool.
• In a new bowl, whip together the cold cream until fluffy.
• Gently mix in the mascarpone.
• Now gently fold in the whipped cream. Put it in the fridge for 15–30 minutes.

Dip the Cookies

• Mix the coffee + liqueur (if using) in a dish.
• Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee for 1–2 seconds only. Don’t let them soak for too long.

Layer Your Tiramisu Cake

• In a square or rectangular dish:
• Add a layer of dipped ladyfingers
• Spread half of the cream mix
• Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers
• Spread the rest of the cream

Chill and Finish

• Cover and chill in the fridge for 6 hours (overnight is best).
• Before serving, dust with cocoa powder.
