How to Make Tiramisu Cooking Light

  1. In a large bowl, beat together 8 ounces of mascarpone cheese, 1/4 cup powdered sugar, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream until smooth and creamy.
  2. In a small bowl, dissolve 2 teaspoons of instant espresso powder in 1/4 cup of hot water. Set aside.
  3. Cut 20 ladyfingers in half lengthwise.
  4. Quickly dip the cut sides of the ladyfingers into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are lightly moistened but not soggy.
  5. Arrange a layer of the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  6. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  7. Repeat layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
  8. Insert five wooden picks into the tiramisu (one in each corner and one in the center) to prevent cracking during refrigeration.
  9. Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight.
  10. Before serving, remove the wooden picks and dust generously with unsweetened cocoa powder.
