Easy Tiramisu Recipe
Description
The preparation begins by whisking egg yolks and sugar over hot water until thick and voluminous, then folding in mascarpone cheese for richness. Separately, heavy cream is whipped with confectioners’ sugar to medium-soft peaks and gently folded into the mascarpone mixture, creating a smooth, creamy filling. Ladyfingers are quickly dipped into a mix of hot brewed coffee, cocoa powder, melted dark chocolate, Kahlua, and vanilla extract, layering the dessert with coffee-chocolate-soaked components.
Arranged in a dish, the soaked ladyfingers alternate with the creamy mascarpone mixture to build a multilayered dessert that sets to a balanced flavor of bittersweet coffee and creamy sweetness with subtle liquor notes. The tiramisu can be chilled until firm for serving, offering moistness and melt-in-the-mouth texture. The overall flavor relies on fresh strong coffee, good-quality mascarpone, and proper soaking time for the ladyfingers to avoid sogginess.
Ingredients
- 9 large egg yolks, 160 grams
- 1/2 cup (99g) granulated sugar
- 1/3 cup (74ml) Amaretto liqueur
- 16 ounces (460g) mascarpone room temperature
- 2 and 1/4 cups (511ml) heavy cream cold
- 2 Tablespoons (22g) confectioners’ sugar
- 2 cups (454ml) coffee freshly brewed, strong
- 1 ounce (28g) dark chocolate
- 1/3 cup (28g) cocoa powder dutch-process, plus more for dusting
- 1/4 cup (68ml) Kahlua liqueur
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions
- Place a large heatproof bowl over a pot of simmering water. Make sure the bowl fits snugly on top of the pan and the bottom of the bowl isn't touching the water.
- Add the yolks and sugar into the bowl and cream together with a whisk. Add amaretto and continue to whisk until the mixture is very thick and almost doubled in volume, about 10 minutes.
- Remove from heat and stir in the mascarpone, a little bit at a time, until the mixture is smooth and the cheese is completely combined. Set aside.
- In a chilled bowl, whip heavy cream and confections’s sugar with a handheld electric mixer on medium-speed. Whip until medium-soft peaks form. Then fold the whipped cream into mascarpone mixture, and stir well to combine.
- In a small saucepan, combine hot coffee, chocolate, and cocoa powder. Whisk well to melt the chocolate and combine the ingredients. Stir in the Kahlua and vanilla. Cool for 5 minutes.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and arrange in a single layer on the bottom of a . Be careful not to soak the lady fingers too long, or they'll become soggy.
- Spread half the mascarpone cream mixture on top of the lady fingers, and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Repeat with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers, then top with the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Refrigerate for at least 8 hours before serving. Or up to 24 hours. Dust with cocoa powder before serving!
