A classic Italian no-bake dessert made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and a rich mascarpone cream, finished with a dusting of cocoa powder for an elegant and indulgent treat.

Ingredients

  • 24 ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
  • 500 g mascarpone cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
  • 3 large eggs, separated
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 pinch salt

Instructions

  1. Brew strong coffee and allow it to cool completely.
  2. Separate the egg yolks from the egg whites into two bowls.
  3. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and creamy.
  4. Add mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract to the yolk mixture and mix until smooth.
  5. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form.
  6. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture to keep it light and airy.
  7. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee without soaking too long.
  8. Arrange a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a serving dish.
  9. Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers.
  10. Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top.
  11. Spread the remaining mascarpone cream over the second layer and smooth the surface.
  12. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or until set.
  13. Just before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.

Notes

  • Chilling overnight enhances the flavor and texture.
  • Dip ladyfingers quickly to avoid them becoming soggy.
  • You can add a splash of coffee liqueur or marsala wine to the coffee for a traditional flavor.
  • For a chocolate variation, sprinkle grated dark chocolate between the layers.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Tiramisu can be frozen for up to 1 month and thawed overnight in the refrigerator.
