Ingredients for Barefoot Contessa S Tiramisu

How to Make Barefoot Contessa S Tiramisu

  1. Brew strong coffee and let it cool completely. In a shallow dish, whisk together the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using).
  2. In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Gradually add the sugar, beating until combined.
  3. In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  4. Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy. Arrange a layer of ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
  5. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  6. Dust with half of the cocoa powder.
  7. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and cocoa powder.
  8. Cover the dish and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
  9. Before serving, dust with remaining cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate shavings (optional).

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
