Ingredients

  • 2 cups strong brewed coffee or espresso – cooled at room temperature
  • 1 package ladyfingers – savoiardi about 26 pieces
  • 2 tbsp. 30ml coffee liquor or dark rum or brandy ( optional)
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream cold
  • ¾ cup powdered sugar
  • 12 ounce mascarpone cheese cold
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder for dusting
  • 1 tablespoon instant coffee powder for dusting

Instructions

  • Make the espresso ahead of time and have it cooled down to room temperature. ( do this couple of hours ahead of time)
  • Using the electric hand mixer,  beat the whipping cream until stiff peaks form.
  • Use a spatula and mix the mascarpone and sugar until combined. Add in the whipped cream. Use the electric mixer to beat the cream mixture again until smooth, airy and fluffy.
  • Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture. ( Do not soak too long ) 
  • Line a glass baking dish with a layer of dipped cookies.
  • Spread half of the cream mixture over the cookies.
  • Repeat another layer with cookies and cream.Cover the baking sheet with plastic clings wrap. Chill in the refrigerator for a minimum of 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Before serving,  dust the entire sheet with cocoa powder and instant coffee powder. Serve cold. Bon Appetit!

Notes

If you want to use Cream cheese instead of Mascarpone
Mix 8 ounces of cream cheese ( at room temperature) with 1 ounce of sour cream (cold)  Beat it well til smooth and airy. This combination mimics the mascarpone cheese in taste and texture.
How far ahead should you make tiramisu? 
You can make tiramisu 1-2 days in advance. Definitely let it sit in the refrigerator for min 6 hours. It will stay good in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. You can freeze it as well but it does get soggy in the defrosting process.
CAN I MAKE THE TIRAMISU WITHOUT ALCOHOL?
Yes you can. Simply skip adding alcohol.
Concentrated flavors of coffee and sweetener make it superbly rich and delightful. So use best quality espresso.
