How to Make Best Ever Tiramisu
- Brew espresso and let it cool completely. In a shallow dish, combine cooled espresso with 1/4 cup of coffee liqueur.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring it's just moistened, not soggy, and arrange them in a single layer in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish.
- In a large bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar until smooth and creamy. Gently fold in the heavy cream until combined. In a separate bowl whisk the egg yolks with 2 tablespoons of sugar until pale and thick.
- Gradually add the egg yolk mixture to the mascarpone mixture, folding gently until fully incorporated. Stir in the vanilla extract.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder and garnish with shaved chocolate or cocoa nibs (optional).
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
