Classic Tiramisu
This old-fashioned dessert combines layers of Savoiardi lightly dipped in espresso, held together by a subtly sweet rich mascarpone mixture, topped with dark cocoa and chocolate shavings.
Servings: 6
Calories: 645kcal
Ingredients
- 4 Tablespoons Instant espresso (not instant coffee)
- 1¼ cups Boiling water
- 8 oz Mascarpone cheese (from 1 pack)
- ¾ cup Powdered sugar
- 1 ½ cups Heavy cream
- 4 Tablespoons Kahlua coffee liqueur
- 18 Ladyfingers ( one 7 oz package should be fine)
- 2 Tablespoons Bittersweet cocoa
- 4 oz bittersweet chocolate, shaved (Optional)
Instructions
- Combine the espresso powder and boiling water, stir until incorporated. Set aside to cool completely or pop it in the refrigerator.
- Using an electric mixer, beat together the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar on medium speed until smooth. Set aside.
- Whisk together the heavy cream, and rum liqueur on high speed until stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the mascarpone mixture
- Lightly dip, instead of soaking the ladyfingers in the espresso one at a time. Line the bottom of a 6×8 pan. Using a spatula, spread half of the cream mixture over the biscuit. Sprinkle shaved chocolates on top. Layer the remaining biscuit and spread the other half of the cream mixture on top.
- Smooth the top using a spatula. Sift the cocoa over the top and sprinkle more chocolates. Cover the pan with a cling wrap and refrigerate for 3 to 4 hours or until set.
- *It tastes even better when left overnight in the refrigerator.
