How to Make Tiramisu

  1. In a large bowl, beat 1/2 cup granulated sugar with 4 large egg yolks until pale and fluffy (about 5-7 minutes).
  2. In a separate clean bowl, beat 4 large egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  3. Gently fold 16 ounces of mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until smooth and well combined.
  4. Carefully fold in the whipped egg whites in three additions, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.
  5. Brew 1 cup strong brewed espresso or coffee and pour into a shallow dish. Dip each ladyfinger briefly into the coffee, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy. Arrange a single layer of ladyfingers in an 8x8 inch baking dish.
  6. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat layers with remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone cream, finishing with a layer of cream. Dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the ladyfingers to fully absorb the coffee and flavors. Serve chilled and enjoy!
