How to Make Karen's Tiramisu
- Make this Tiramisu at least one day ahead for optimal flavor. Refrigerate it, covered.
- In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar together until pale and thick (about 5-7 minutes with an electric mixer).
- Gently fold in the softened mascarpone cheese until completely smooth and creamy.
- In a separate clean, grease-free bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture in two additions. Don't overmix; the mixture will be softer than a mousse.
- In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee and your chosen liqueur.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, coating both sides (just a quick dip to avoid soggy fingers). Arrange half of the ladyfingers in a single layer in an 8x8 inch baking dish or similar sized serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat layers with the remaining ladyfingers and cream, pouring any remaining coffee mixture over the top layer.
- Dust generously with cocoa powder.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
