Instructions
Brew the Coffee Soak
- Brew strong coffee or espresso and let it cool to room temperature.
- Stir in vanilla extract and sugar, if desired. Set aside.
Make the Mascarpone Filling
- In a mixing bowl, beat heavy cream until soft peaks form. Set aside.
- In another bowl, whisk mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth and creamy.
- Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, ensuring it remains light and fluffy.
Assemble the Tiramisu
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee soak, ensuring they’re moist but not soggy.
- Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish or individual serving glasses.
- Spread half of the mascarpone filling evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone filling.
Chill and Serve
- Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.
- Before serving, dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
