Ingredients

• 6 large Egg yolks
• 0.75 cup Granulated sugar
• 16 ounces Mascarpone cheese
• 1 cup Heavy whipping cream
• 1.5 cups Espresso or strong coffee
• 2 tablespoons Coffee liqueur (optional)
• 24 pieces Ladyfingers
• 2 tablespoons Unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1 ounce Dark chocolate (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is thick and pale, about 5 minutes.

Step 2

Add the mascarpone cheese to the egg and sugar mixture, and gently fold until smooth and well combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy whipping cream to stiff peaks using a hand mixer or stand mixer on high speed.

Step 4

Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully incorporated. Be careful not to overmix.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, combine the espresso (or coffee) with the coffee liqueur, if using. Allow the mixture to cool if it is still warm.

Step 6

One at a time, briefly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture. Make sure they are soaked but not too soggy.

Step 7

Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9-inch dish or similar serving dish.

Step 8

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.

Step 9

Repeat the layers with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.

Step 10

Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight for best results.

Step 11

Before serving, sift the cocoa powder evenly over the top of the tiramisu.

Step 12

If desired, use a vegetable peeler to shave the dark chocolate over the top for an additional garnish.
