Now that we’ve whetted your appetite, let’s dive into the ingredients you’ll need to create this delight:
Ingredients:
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 1/2 cups brewed espresso, cooled
- 1/2 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Alright, let’s get this dessert poppin’ with some simple steps:
Instructions:
- In a medium-sized bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until they become pale and creamy.
- In a saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk until it’s steaming, but not boiling. Slowly whisk the warm milk into the egg mixture for about 2 minutes.
- Transfer this mix back into the saucepan and cook gently, stirring constantly, until it thickens—about 5 minutes. Take it off the heat and let it cool.
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese until smooth.
- Once your egg mix is cool, fold it into the mascarpone mixture until everything’s well combined.
- In a separate dish, mix the cooled espresso with coffee liqueur, if you’re using it. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture for just a second, don’t let them soak too much!
- Layer half of the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the top, and repeat the layers.
- Dust the top with cocoa powder and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight if you can wait that long!
And there you have it, your rich and creamy Tiramisu! When you take your first bite, you’ll know that every step was worth it. Enjoy this classic dessert with family and friends. It’ll become a staple in your house, for sure!
