Creamy, delicious and unbelievably EASY tiramisu recipe made with coffee soaked lady fingers, sweet and creamy mascarpone, and cocoa powder dusted on top.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
- 8 ounce container mascarpone cheese (,room temperature)
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups cold espresso (, prepared)
- 3 Tablespoons coffee flavored liqueur (,optional (Kahlua or DaVinci brands)
- 1 package Lady Fingers (,Savoiardi brand can be found in the cookie aisle at your local grocery store, or online)
- Cocoa powder for dusting the top
Instructions
- 1Add whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat on medium speed with electric mixers (or use a stand mixer). Slowly add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks. Add mascarpone cheese and fold in until combined. Set aside.
- 2Add coffee and liqueur to a shallow bowl. Dip the lady fingers in the coffee (Don't soak them--just quickly dip them on both sides to get them wet) and lay them in a single layer on the bottom of an 8x8'' or similar size pan.
- 3Smooth half of the mascarpone mixture over the top. Add another layer of dipped lady fingers. Smooth remaining mascarpone cream over the top.
- 4Dust cocoa powder generously over the top (I use a fine mesh strainer to do this). Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours or up to overnight before serving.
