Cooking Method & Details:
· Ingredients needed: mascarpone cheese, heavy cream, egg yolks, granulated sugar, espresso coffee, ladyfingers (savoiardi), cocoa powder.
· Making the cream mixture: Whisk egg yolks with granulated sugar until they turn pale and fluffy. Mix in mascarpone cheese until smooth. Fold in whipped heavy cream to complete the mixture.
· Dipping ladyfingers: Pour espresso into a shallow dish; briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee to avoid them becoming too soggy.
· Assembling tiramisu: Start with a layer of dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your serving dish. Spread a layer of cream mixture over them. Continue layering until all ingredients are used up; finish with a layer of cream mixture on top. Dust with cocoa powder for decoration.
· Chilling: Refrigerate your assembled tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight to let flavors meld together.
· Serving: Slice chilled tiramisu before serving. It pairs wonderfully with espresso or red wine as an after-dinner delight.
