How to Make Authentic Tiramisu

  1. In a large bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg yolk mixture.
  4. In a small bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract; fold this mixture into the cream mixture.
  5. Brew strong coffee and let it cool. Add the coffee liqueur (optional).
  6. Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee mixture, ensuring it's moistened but not soggy.
  7. Arrange a layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a dish (approximately 8x8 inch).
  8. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  9. Dust with half of the cocoa powder.
  10. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and cocoa powder.
  11. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  12. Before serving, dust with remaining cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings (optional).
