Ingredients

  • 10 5 oz SAVOIARDI LADYFINGERS

  • 1 Lb. mascarpone cheese cream

  • 5 large eggs

  • 1/2 cup granulated white sugar

  • 1 1/2 cups coffee (better if espresso)

  • 2 Tbsp rum or MARSALA

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

  • Make a good strong coffee. Now add rum or Marsala wine then set aside and let it cool.
  • Separate egg whites from yolks.
  • In a bowl whip the egg whites until hard picks form. When ready, set aside.
  • In a separate bowl whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until pale and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • When ready add mascarpone cheese to the yolk mixture.
  • Whisk the cream slowly with the electric mixer. Now add stiffen egg whites.
  • Mix with a rubber spatula, from bottom to top. Mix slowly until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Now, quickly dip Ladyfingers into the coffee. Then place them in a ceramic or glass cooking pan.
  • Spread the mascarpone cream on top of the ladyfingers.
  • Add another layer of ladyfingers and then cover with more mascarpone cream.
  • Finally sprinkle with cocoa powder. Let rest at least four hours in the refrigerator before serving (even better if you make the tiramisu the day before, and let it rest overnight in the fridge).

Notes

  • IMPORTANT! Ladyfingers should not be soaked for too long in the coffee, if so, your Tiramisu will turn out too soggy. I prefer to use Savoiardi ladyfingers because they are firm and crunchy. Perfect for Tiramisu.
