Easy Tiramisu From Scratch

Course Dessert
Servings 1 9×9” pan or 4 4” servings of tiramisu

Ingredients

  • 3 egg yolks
  • 1/3 cup + 2 tbsp sugar 90g
  • 1 1/2 cups full-fat mascarpone cheese 340g, at room temperature
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 2/3 cup heavy cream 160g, chilled
  • 24 ladyfingers recipe below
  • 2/3 cup strong black coffee
  • 3-4 tbsp cocoa powder

Instructions

  • Whisk together egg yolks and sugar in a heat-safe bowl until well combined. Put the bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler), whisking vigorously until it becomes thick and ribbony—light yellow in color. Remove from heat and cool for 15 minutes.
  • Add room temperature mascarpone cheese and salt to the egg yolk mixture. Whisk until well combined. Pop it in the fridge for 15-20 minutes.
  • Whip the chilled heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then fold in the rest. Be gentle, maintaining the light and airy texture.
  • Pour the coffee into a bowl. Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee for just 1-2 seconds—don’t overdo it, or they’ll fall apart quickly.
  • Time to assemble! Alternate layers of ladyfingers and tiramisu cream. I like more layers, but adjust to your liking. Press the ladyfingers snugly around the edges for tidy layers.
  • Refrigerate for 2-3 hours. Before serving, generously dust the top with cocoa powder.
  • Get ready to savor the BEST Tiramisu you’ve ever made! Enjoy!
