How to Make Nonna's Tiramisu
- Brew strong espresso or coffee and let it cool completely. Sweeten to taste.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mascarpone cheese (or ricotta) and powdered sugar until smooth and creamy.
- In a separate bowl, gently whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form. Add to the mascarpone mixture and fold until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in the liqueur of your choice (or omit).
- Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the cooled espresso, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
- Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a glass or serving dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
