Tiramisu

Takes 60 minutes | Serves 6 |

Tiramisu, meaning "pick me up" or "cheer me up" in Italian, is a rich and creamy dessert that layers coffee-soaked ladyfingers with a whipped mixture of eggs, sugar, and mascarpone cheese, all topped with a dusting of cocoa powder. It's a no-bake dessert, making it a fantastic choice for when you want something decadent without turning on the oven.

Ingredients

3 units

1 unit

3 tablespoons

250 g

3 units

300 ml

2 tablespoons

20 units savoiardi (ladyfingers)

4 tablespoons

Steps

Mascarpone Cream

Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two different bowls.
Split the vanilla bean in half, scrape out the seeds, and add them to the bowl with the egg yolks. Add the sugar to the same bowl.
Whisk the egg yolks until light and fluffy. Add the mascarpone and stir until smooth.
In a separate, clean bowl, whip the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone cream using a spatula.

Assembling the Tiramisu

Mix the cooled coffee with Marsala.
Spread a layer of mascarpone cream at the bottom of a dessert glass or a dish with high sides.
Dip the savoiardi in the coffee and arrange them over the cream to cover the entire surface. Be quick to prevent the savoiardi from becoming too soggy.
Continue layering savoiardi and mascarpone cream, finishing with a layer of cream on top. Generously dust with cocoa powder to finish.
Allow the tiramisu to chill for at least 1 hour before serving to let it set slightly.
