Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 24 ounces Ladyfingers
- 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 2 large Eggs separated
- 1 cup Strong brewed coffee cooled
- 1 tablespoon Rum or Kahlua optional
- 10 ounces Unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese and sugar until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg yolks until light and fluffy. Gradually add to the mascarpone mixture, beating until well combined.
- In another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
- In a shallow dish, combine the coffee and rum (if using). Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee mixture, and arrange a layer in the bottom of a serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture. Dust with cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
Notes
For a richer flavor, use high-quality mascarpone cheese and strong brewed coffee. Allow the tiramisu to chill for at least 6 hours for optimal flavor and texture.
