Tiramisu

Components:

Regarding the Coffee Blend:

• One cup of strongly brewed, chilled coffee
• 2 tablespoons of coffee liqueur (extra)

Regarding the Cream Layer:

• Three sizable eggs, divided
• 1/2 cup of sugar, granulated
• Room temperature mascarpone cheese, 8 ounces
• One cup of heavy cream

To Assemble:

• 24–30 ladyfinger biscuits, or savoiardi
• powdered cocoa without sugar (for dusting)
• Shavings of dark chocolate (optional; garnish)

Guidelines:

Get the coffee mixture ready.

• Pour the chilled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using) into a shallow dish. Put aside.

Create the Layer of Cream:

• Beat the egg yolks and sugar in a mixing dish until the mixture is light and creamy.
• To the egg mixture, add the mascarpone cheese and stir until completely blended and smooth.
• Beat the heavy cream in a separate bowl until soft peaks form.
• To properly incorporate the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, fold it in gently.

Put the Tiramisu together:

• Make sure the ladyfingers are moistened but not soggy by quickly dipping them into the coffee mixture.
• Spoon half of the soaked ladyfingers onto an 8×8-inch (or comparable) dish, arranging them in a single layer at the bottom.
• Over the ladyfingers, spread half of the mascarpone mixture.
• Using the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture, repeat the layering process.

Relax:

• To enable the flavors to mingle, cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or better yet, overnight.

Serve:

• Dust the top with cocoa powder and, if like, add chocolate shavings as a garnish before serving.
