Ingredients
- 300 g ladyfingers - (Savoiardi), about 30 cookies
- 500 g mascarpone cheese - 1.1 pound
- 4 eggs
- 100 g granulated sugar - ½ cup
- 300 ml coffee - espresso, 1 ¼ cup
- 2 tablespoons marsala wine
- unsweetened cocoa powder - for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the coffee. Then add 2 tablespoons of Marsala wine. Set aside and let cool.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Set aside the yolks and whip the egg whites until stiff. Once ready, set aside.
- In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with sugar until light and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Pour the mascarpone cheese into a bowl and work it with a spoon to make it softer. When the yolks are ready add the mascarpone cheese.
- Whip the mascarpone cream for 2 to 3 minutes. Now add the stiffly beaten egg whites. Mix with a wooden spoon, from bottom up. Mix slowly until smooth and creamy
- Dip the ladyfingers quickly (1 or 2 seconds) into the coffee. Then arrange the ladyfingers in the casserole of your liking.
- Arrange them so that they cover the bottom of the casserole. Then spread the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
- Add another layer of ladyfingers and then top with more mascarpone cream. If you are making the last layer, spread the mascarpone cream generously.
- Sprinkle with cocoa powder. Allow to rest 3 hours in the refrigerator before serving. Even better if you prepare the tiramisu the day before, letting it rest overnight.
