Ingredients

🍪 4 sleeves of ladyfingers (40 to 45 pieces)
🥛 2 cups heavy whipping cream
🧀 8 oz mascarpone cheese
🥚 4 egg yolks
🍚 3/4 cup sugar
🍦 1 tablespoon vanilla extract
☕ 2 tablespoons instant coffee
💧 2 cups warm water (to mix with the coffee)
🍫 Cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

1- Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:

• In a large heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar.
• Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water to create a double boiler. Ensure the bowl's base does not touch the water.
• Whisk continuously until the sugar dissolves and the mixture slightly thickens and turns a light yellow color, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.

2- Combine Ingredients:

• In a stand mixer bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, cooled egg mixture, vanilla extract, and heavy cream.
• Use the whisk attachment to beat the mixture until soft peaks form, which should take around 2-3 minutes.

3- Prepare the Coffee Mixture:

• Mix the warm water and instant coffee in a bowl to create the coffee-soaking liquid for the ladyfingers.

4- Assemble the Tiramisu:

• Dunk each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring all sides are evenly moistened.
• Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in rows on the bottom of a baking dish.
• Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the first layer of ladyfingers.
• Repeat the dunking and arranging process to create a second layer, and then spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top.
• Dust the top with cocoa powder.

5- Refrigerate and Serve:

• Refrigerate the tiramisu for 6-8 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the texture to set.
• Serve chilled, and enjoy your delightful homemade tiramisu!
