Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 cups (500g) mascarpone
- 24 savoiardi biscuits (lady fingers)
- 4 egg yolks, at room temperature
- 3 egg whites, at room temperature
- 1 cup (230ml) strong brewed coffee
Coffee and Spirits:
- 4 tablespoons coffee liqueur, (optional)
- 6 tablespoons sugar
Garnish and Finishing:
- 3 tablespoons dark chocolate, grated
- 1 tablespoon cocoa powder
Instructions
- Carefully extract egg yolks into a mixing vessel, blending them with 3 tablespoons (37.5 grams) of granulated sugar until the mixture transforms into a pale, voluminous consistency. Incorporate mascarpone cheese and whisk until the texture becomes silky and uniform.
- Meticulously sanitize whisking equipment, then process egg whites in a separate container until they develop a foamy texture. Progressively introduce the remaining 3 tablespoons (37.5 grams) of sugar, continuing to whip until peaks form and maintain structural integrity when the bowl is inverted.
- Delicately integrate the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone blend, folding in thirds to maintain airy lightness. Ensure complete incorporation without deflating the delicate mixture.
- Prepare a shallow container with brewed espresso and coffee liqueur. Swiftly immerse each Savoiardi biscuit for approximately 2-3 seconds per side, ensuring absorption without saturating the delicate cookies.
- Construct the initial layer by positioning the coffee-infused ladyfingers in a glass or ceramic dish, trimming as necessary to create a uniform base. Distribute half of the mascarpone cream evenly across the biscuits, then embellish with freshly grated dark chocolate.
- Replicate the layering process with remaining soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream. Smooth the surface meticulously and generously dust with premium cocoa powder.
- Seal the dessert and refrigerate for a minimum of 6-8 hours, preferably overnight, allowing flavors to harmonize and intensify. Serve thoroughly chilled for optimal taste experience.
Notes
- Refrigerate the dessert overnight to let flavors develop and layers meld together perfectly, creating a rich and harmonious taste experience.
- Gently fold whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture using a delicate spatula motion to maintain the airy and light texture of the tiramisu.
- Whip egg whites until they form stiff, glossy peaks that hold their shape, ensuring a fluffy and elegant final dessert.
- Keep ladyfinger soaking time brief—just 2-3 seconds in strong coffee—to prevent soggy, weak biscuits that could compromise the dessert’s structure.
- Select premium, fresh ingredients like authentic mascarpone, farm-fresh eggs, and high-quality espresso to elevate the overall flavor profile and authenticity of your tiramisu.
