Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, creating a double boiler. Continue whisking until the sugar is dissolved, and the mixture is thick and pale in color, about 5 minutes.
-
Remove the bowl from the heat and add the mascarpone cheese. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
-
In a shallow dish, combine the brewed espresso and coffee liqueur, if using. Dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Line the bottom of a 9x9-inch square dish with a layer of soaked ladyfingers.
-
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, creating an even layer. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone mixture.
-
Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
-
Before serving, dust the top of the Tiramisu with a generous amount of cocoa powder, using a fine-mesh sieve for an even coating.
-
Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy the luscious layers of creamy mascarpone, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and delicate cocoa powder. Buon appetito!
