Ingredients
Cream Mixture
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp Kahlua or rum (optional)
Other Ingredients
- 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
- 12–14 crisp ladyfingers
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: Use a mixer to whip the heavy whipping cream until stiff peaks form, ensuring a light and fluffy texture.
- Prepare Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate bowl, mix the mascarpone cheese, sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Combine Cream and Mascarpone: Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated, creating a rich and airy filling. If using, add the Kahlua or rum during this step.
- Soak Ladyfingers: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled brewed coffee, being careful not to soak them too long to maintain their texture.
- Assemble Layers: In individual cups, layer the coffee-soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream alternately, starting and ending with the cream layer.
- Repeat Layers: Continue layering until cups are filled, usually 2–3 layers depending on cup size.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled cups for 4 to 6 hours to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
- Dust and Serve: Just before serving, lightly dust the tops with cocoa powder for a classic tiramisu finish.
Notes
- Use strong brewed coffee or espresso for a more intense coffee flavor.
- For a non-alcoholic version, omit the Kahlua or rum without sacrificing taste.
- Dipping ladyfingers briefly prevents them from becoming too soggy.
- Make sure to chill long enough to let the dessert set for the best texture.
- Can be prepared a day in advance for convenience.
