☕ What Is Tiramisu?
Tiramisu is a famous Italian dessert made with:
Coffee-soaked ladyfingers
Mascarpone cream
Cocoa powder
Espresso
And layers of rich creamy goodness
The name “Tiramisu” roughly means “pick me up” in Italian — which honestly makes sense after one bite.
🍫 Ingredients
For the Cream
250g mascarpone cheese
1 cup heavy cream
1/3 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
For the Layers
1 pack ladyfinger biscuits
1 cup strong espresso or coffee
Cocoa powder for dusting
Optional
Dark chocolate shavings
Coffee liqueur
How To Make Tiramisu
Step 1 — Make the Cream
In a bowl, whip heavy cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla until smooth. Fold whipped cream gently into the mascarpone mixture.
Step 2 — Prepare the Coffee
Brew strong espresso or coffee and let it cool completely.
Step 3 — Dip the Ladyfingers
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee. Don’t soak too long or they’ll become soggy.
Step 4 — Layer Everything
Arrange coffee-soaked ladyfingers in a dish. Spread a thick layer of mascarpone cream over them. Repeat the layers until finished.
Step 5 — Chill & Finish
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is even better). Before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder and optional chocolate shavings.
