How to Make Five Star Tiramisu

  1. In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of cream cheese and 1/2 cup powdered sugar with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy.
  2. Gently fold in 1 cup of whipped heavy cream.
  3. In the top of a double boiler, whisk together 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1/4 cup water, and 2 large egg whites.
  4. Place the double boiler over simmering water and whisk constantly until the mixture is thick and glossy and forms stiff peaks (about 5-7 minutes).
  5. Gently fold 1/4 of the egg white mixture into the cream cheese mixture.
  6. Fold in the remaining egg white mixture until fully incorporated.
  7. In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup hot water, 1 tablespoon granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons instant espresso powder (or 1/4 cup strongly brewed espresso), and 1 tablespoon of your favorite coffee liqueur (optional). Stir until the sugar is dissolved.
  8. Split the ladyfingers in half lengthwise.
  9. Arrange 20 ladyfinger halves, cut-side up, in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish.
  10. Drizzle half of the espresso mixture over the ladyfingers.
  11. Spread half of the cream cheese mixture over the ladyfingers.
  12. Repeat layers with the remaining ladyfingers, espresso mixture, and cream cheese mixture.
  13. Spread the remaining whipped cream over the top.
  14. Sprinkle generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
  15. Insert toothpicks at each corner and one in the center of the dish. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
