<h3>Tiramisu Recipe<h3>
<h4>Ingredients:</h4>
6 large egg yolks
¾ cup granulated sugar
1 cup mascarpone cheese, room temperature
1 ½ cups heavy cream
1 ½ cups strong brewed espresso or coffee, cooled
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
24-30 ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Dark chocolate shavings (optional)
<h4>Directions:</h4>
<b>Make the Cream Mixture:</b> In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy. Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract, and continue to whisk until smooth and well combined.
<b>Whip the Cream:</b> Whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form in another bowl. Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until it is creamy and smooth.
<b>Prepare the Coffee Dip:</b> In a shallow dish, combine the cooled espresso with the coffee (if using).
<b>Layer the Tiramisu:</b> Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13-inch dish or a similar-sized serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers. Add another layer of soaked ladyfingers, then top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
<b>Chill:</b> Cover the dish with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to let the flavors meld together.
<b>Serve:</b> Before serving, dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder and sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings if desired. Serve chilled.
<h3>Conclusion</h3>
Tiramisu is the perfect blend of coffee, cream, and sweetness—an Italian dessert that delivers pure indulgence in every bite.
