🛒 Ingredients

  • 6 large egg yolks
  • ¾ cup (150g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (225g) mascarpone cheese, room temperature
  • 1 ½ cups (350ml) brewed espresso or very strong coffee, cooled
  • 2–3 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional, e.g. Kahlúa or Marsala)
  • 1 package (about 7 oz / 200g) ladyfinger biscuits (Savoiardi)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
  • Optional: dark chocolate shavings, for garnish

👩‍🍳 How to Make Tiramisu

✅ Step 1: Make the Zabaglione Cream

In a heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water (double boiler), whisk egg yolks and sugar constantly until thickened (about 5–7 minutes). Remove from heat and let cool.

✅ Step 2: Whip the Cream

In a separate bowl, whip heavy cream to stiff peaks. In another bowl, whisk mascarpone until smooth. Gently fold mascarpone into the cooled egg mixture, then fold in the whipped cream.

✅ Step 3: Prepare Coffee Dip

Combine espresso with liqueur (if using) in a shallow bowl.

✅ Step 4: Assemble

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture (about 1 second per side) and layer in the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat layers. Smooth the top.

✅ Step 5: Chill & Serve

Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours (preferably overnight). Before serving, dust with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings if desired.

🧊 Storage Tips

  • Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days
  • Freezer: Freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw overnight in fridge
  • Make Ahead: Best when made a day in advance — the flavors deepen beautifully

✅ Tips for the Best Tiramisu

  • Don’t oversoak ladyfingers — a quick dip keeps the texture perfect
  • Use espresso or strong coffee — the deeper the flavor, the better
  • Let tiramisu rest overnight to enhance the layers
  • Use high-quality mascarpone and pure cocoa powder
