Instructions

  1. Stir strong coffee, 1 TB sugar, Kahlua, and rum until sugar is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  2. In a large metal bowl, beat egg yolks, Marsala, and 1/2 cup sugar. Set bowl over a saucepan of barely simmering water.
  3. Using a handheld electric mixer or whisk, mix until tripled in volume. This takes about 8 min. Remove from heat and beat mascarpone in until just combined.
  4. Put heavy cream in a chilled bowl with chilled beaters. Beat until stiff peaks. Fold whipped cream in mascarpone mixture gently, taking time to fully incorporate it.
  5. One at a time, very gently dip both sides of each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, lining bottom of a 9-10 inch Springform pan (I use a 9 inch). Dip and line as you go. The ladyfingers can break apart, so don’t dip them too long; just until mostly soaked through, about a 2-second dip on each side. Trim any ladyfingers as needed so that it fits comfortably in pan.
  6. Split mascarpone filling in half. Spread half of the filling on top of ladyfingers. Repeat dipping and lining for second layer of ladyfingers. Spread remaining mascarpone filling on top. Dust with cocoa. Sprinkle with chocolate shavings. Chill overnight in springform pan to set.
  7. Carefully release sides of springform. If your sides are slightly haphazard, no worries. Take leftover ladyfingers, slice them in half, and use them to wrap around your Tiramisu.

Notes

  • If you enjoyed this recipe, please come back and give it a rating. We ❤️ hearing from you!

  • Delicate and sponge-like, ladyfinger cookies will absorb the coffee mixture quickly. So be sure to work quickly to prevent them from becoming soggy. 
  • Take extra care to completely separate the egg yolks from the egg whites before adding them to the whipped mix. Otherwise, it will collapse, and you won’t achieve the thick, fluffy peaks we’re looking to create. 
  • When incorporating the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, fold it in gently. This will help maintain the light and airy texture of the cream.
  • Pay attention to the layering process. Each layer of ladyfingers should be evenly soaked and covered with the mascarpone mixture to guarantee that every bite is balanced and delicious.
  • Depending on whether you use a 9 or 10-inch springform pan, you may need to add more or less ladyfingers around the edge. 
  • Believe it or not, this tiramisu recipe is even tastier when served the next day! Trust us, it’s worth the wait.
