Description
This traditional alcohol-free tiramisu features airy mascarpone cream and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, perfect for kids and adults alike.
Ingredients
- 3 large eggs
- 100 g (½ cup) granulated sugar
- 250–300 g (9–10 oz) mascarpone cheese
- 24 ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
- ½ litre (2 cups) strong black coffee
- 30 g (¼ cup) unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
-
Separate the eggs : Place whites and yolks in two clean bowls.
-
Whisk the yolks with sugar : Beat until pale and creamy, this step is crucial for a light, velvety tiramisu.
-
Incorporate the mascarpone : Blend in the mascarpone gently until smooth and fully combined.
-
Whip the egg whites : Beat until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold them into the mascarpone mixture in batches, keeping the texture airy.
-
Brew and cool the coffee : Prepare a strong black coffee and let it cool completely.
-
Dip and layer the ladyfingers : Quickly dip each ladyfinger in the coffee, then arrange them in a single layer in your serving dish.
-
Layer the cream : Spread half the mascarpone mixture over the biscuits. Add a second layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, then the remaining cream.
-
Finish with cocoa : Generously dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder.
-
Chill for best results : Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to let the flavors meld and the texture set.
