Ingredients

• 24 pieces Ladyfingers (savoiardi)
• 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
• 300 ml Espresso coffee, brewed
• 60 ml Coffee liqueur (optional, such as Kahlúa)
• 250 ml Heavy cream
• 100 grams Powdered sugar
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 50 grams Dark chocolate, grated
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 75 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the espresso and set it aside to cool. If using coffee liqueur, mix it into the cooled espresso.

Step 2

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Use a hand mixer or whisk to beat the mixture until it becomes pale and creamy, about 4–5 minutes.

Step 3

Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture. Mix until smooth and fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream with the powdered sugar until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to deflate the cream.

Step 5

Lightly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled espresso mixture for about 1–2 seconds, ensuring they are soaked but not overly soggy.

Step 6

Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13-inch (or similarly sized) dish.

Step 7

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.

Step 8

Sift 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder on top of the mascarpone layer and sprinkle half of the grated dark chocolate over it.

Step 9

Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.

Step 10

Finish the tiramisu with a final dusting of cocoa powder and the rest of the grated dark chocolate.

Step 11

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4–6 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 12

Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy your decadent Italian Mocha Tiramisu!
