Easy Tiramisu
Creamy, delicious and unbelievably EASY tiramisu recipe made with coffee soaked lady fingers, sweet and creamy mascarpone, and cocoa powder dusted on top.
Equipment
- 8x8 dish
- Hand Mixer
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups heavy whipping cream 360 ml
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese room temperature (225 g)
- ⅓ cup granulated sugar 67 g
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 5 ml
- 1.5 cups cold espresso prepared (360 ml)
- 3 tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur optional (Kahlua or DaVinci brands) (45 ml)
- 1 package Lady Fingers Savoiardi brand
- Cocoa powder for dusting the top
Instructions
- Add whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with electric mixers (or use a stand mixer). Slowly add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks. Add mascarpone cheese and fold in until combined. Set aside.
- Add coffee and liqueur to a shallow bowl. Dip the lady fingers in the coffee (Don't soak them--just quickly dip them on both sides to get them wet) and lay them in a single layer on the bottom of an 8x8'' or similar size pan.
- Smooth half of the mascarpone mixture over the top. Add another layer of dipped lady fingers. Smooth remaining mascarpone cream over the top.
- Dust cocoa powder generously over the top (I use a fine mesh strainer to do this). Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or up to overnight before serving.
Notes
Tiramisu can be made with or without alcohol. This recipe calls for coffee flavored liqueur, but other options are marsala wine or brandy. It’s better when made in advance, lasting 2 to 3 days in the refrigerator. For freezing, cover tightly without cocoa powder and thaw overnight before serving.
