Classic Tiramisu

Instructions

1. 1

   Brew the strong coffee and let it cool to room temperature. Add the coffee liqueur to the coffee and set aside.

2. 2

   Separate the egg yolks from the whites. In a bowl, whisk the egg yolks with the granulated sugar until the mixture is pale and creamy.

3. 3

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

4. 4

   In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture, ensuring not to deflate the mixture.

5. 5

   Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers at the bottom of a rectangular dish.

6. 6

   Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

7. 7

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

8. 8

   Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder using a fine sieve.

9. 9

   Serve chilled and enjoy your Classic Tiramisu.
