Who does not like this coffee flavored Italian dessert? This is an eggless and alcohol free recipe. It is very easy to make, however it has to be chilled for 24 hours preferably before serving it.
The first thing to do is to whip the heavy cream and the sugar until stiff peaks form. Cover and refrigerate.
The second thing to do is to cream the mascarpone cheese with the vanilla then gently fold in the whipped cream.
Start to assemble the tiramisu by soaking the ladyfingers in the coffee then placing them in the bottom of the loaf pan until it is all covered.
Layer evenly the mascarpone cream mixture on top of the ladyfingers.
Sprinkle about a tablespoon of cocoa powder on top.
Start laying again the coffee soaked ladyfingers, then the mascarpone cream mixture on top and end with
the cocoa powder to cover any imperfection.
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours preferably.
Ingredients
- 24 ladyfingers
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese, softened
- ¾ cup heavy cream
- 1 cup espresso or strong coffee, cooled
- 3 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp cocoa powder
Instructions
-
 In a large bowl whip the heavy cream (using an electric mixer) for about 3 minutes, then add the 3 tablespoons of sugar gradually. Keep whipping just until stiff peaks form. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
-
In another bowl mix together (use an electric mixer or a hand mixer) the mascarpone and the vanilla until it’s creamy.
-
Fold in half of the whipped heavy cream and mix it with a spoon to lighten the mixture.
-
Gently fold in the rest of the whipped cream(don’t over mix). Set aside.
-
Assemble the tiramisu by preparing a 9 by 5 inches loaf pan, a plastic wrap placed in the loaf pan, the ladyfingers and the coffee.
-
Dip each ladyfinger in the coffee and lay it in the bottom of the pan, covered with plastic wrap (the plastic wrap will help taking out the tiramisu from the loaf pan for serving).
-
Continue dipping the ladyfingers in the coffee until the bottom of the pan is completely covered.
-
Spread some of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly on top of the ladyfingers.
-
Sift in about 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder on top.
-
Layer again with the coffee soaked ladyfingers until the cream is completely covered.
-
Top with the mascarpone cream mixture.
-
Sift in the remaining cocoa powder.
-
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 24 hours preferably.
-
Pull out the plastic wrap to take out the tiramisu from the loaf pan.
-
Gently put the tiramisu in a serving dish and gently take out the plastic wrap.
-
Enjoy.
