Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • whisk
  • Rubber Spatula
  • 9x9 inch square pan

Ingredients
  

Cheese and Cream

  • 12 oz mascarpone cheese chilled
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup pistachio cream can add up to ⅔ cup if preferred
  • ½ teaspoon vanilla
  • pinch salt
  • 2 cups heavy whipping cream chilled

Ladyfingers and Coffee

  • 30-36 ladyfingers
  • 1 ½ cups espresso or strong coffee lukewarm
  • cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Add the mascarpone cheese, sugar, salt and vanilla to a bowl. Whisk on low speed for just 1-2 minutes until the mixture looks creamy - don't overmix. Scrape the bowl.
  • Add the pistachio cream and whisk for just a few seconds until combined. Don't overmix and scrape the bowl again.
  • Separately, whisk the heavy cream until it thickens up and starts to form ripples (soft peak stage). Don't whip to stiff peaks!
  • Add the heavy cream to the rest of the mixture in 2 additions, and use a rubber spatula to very slowly and gently fold it in.
  • If it looks slightly grainy, add 2-4 tablespoon heavy cream (liquid, not whipped) and gently fold it in.

Assembly

  • To assemble, first add a layer of ladyfingers in your serving pan. Dip the ladyfingers in the coffee for just 2 seconds each and arrange them tightly in the bottom of the pan.
  • Add half of the pistachio mascarpone cream and spread it out evenly.
  • Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers soaked in coffee.
  • Spread on the remaining pistachio mascarpone cream. If you'd like, you can also pipe it on with any piping tip of choice to give the tiramisu a finished look.
  • Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for 6 hours or overnight.
  • Dust with cocoa powder before serving. Slice, serve and enjoy!

Notes

The tiramisu can be prepared a day in advance for better flavor.
