Ingredients

• 500 grams Mascarpone cheese
• 200 ml Heavy cream
• 4 large Egg yolks
• 100 grams Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 300 ml Espresso coffee, freshly brewed
• 1 tablespoon Orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
• 300 grams Ladyfinger cookies
• 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
• 50 grams Dark chocolate shavings
• 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

In a mixing bowl, whisk the mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy. Set aside.

Step 2

Using an electric mixer in a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate for later use.

Step 3

In a heatproof bowl, combine the egg yolks and granulated sugar. Place the bowl over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bottom does not touch the water, and whisk constantly for 5–8 minutes until the mixture is pale and thick. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Step 4

Gently fold the whipped cream and mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until fully incorporated. Add the vanilla extract and orange zest, stirring gently. This will be your mascarpone filling.

Step 5

In a shallow dish, mix the brewed espresso with the coffee liqueur. Let it cool to room temperature.

Step 6

Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy.

Step 7

Layer half of the soaked ladyfingers neatly into the bottom of a 9x9-inch (or similar) dish, breaking them if necessary to fit.

Step 8

Spread half of the mascarpone filling evenly over the ladyfingers.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Using a fine-mesh sieve, dust the top layer with cocoa powder.

Step 11

Sprinkle the dark chocolate shavings evenly over the top for extra texture and flavor.

Step 12

Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (or overnight for best results) to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.

Step 13

Optional: Dust with a touch of powdered sugar before serving for added sweetness.
