Classic Italian Tiramisu

This Classic Italian Tiramisu is one of the easiest recipes and is made with a sweet mascarpone filling and layered with espresso dipped lady fingers. It takes almost no time to make and the recipe below is one that the author's culinary school instructor literally engrained into her during the dessert portion of their curriculum

Ingredients:

• Cocoa Powder
• Espresso
• Vanilla Extract
• Pasteurized Eggs
• Sugar
• Kosher Salt
• Mascarpone Cheese
• Heavy Cream
• Ladyfinger Cookies

How To Make Tiramisu:


1. Whisk together the cocoa powder, espresso and vanilla in a bowl and set aside to really infuse the flavours together.
   
   

2. In a mixer or using a hand mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
   
   

3. Add in the salt, mascarpone cheese and continue to whip until smooth.
   
   

4. Add the chilled cream and continue to whip, until light, creamy and smooth.
   
   

5. Make sure it can hold a soft peak.
   
   

6. Dunk each ladyfinger in the espresso mixture to absorb the liquid and start to line a 7x11 oval baking dish with the cookies.
   
   

7. Top the first layer of cookies with 1/2 of the whipped mascarpone and use the back of a metal spoon to spread it into an even layer. Dust with cocoa powder.
   
   

8. Repeat for another layer and then finish by dusting with cocoa powder on top.
   
   

9. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.
   
   

Tiramisu can be stored for 3-4 days, covered with plastic wrap. The flavors of the tiramisu marry and develop as it keeps, especially once its been stored overnight. It is not recommended to freeze the tiramisu.
