10 minutes Tiramisu recipe
One of my favorite Italian desserts is classic tiramisu. Rich and creamy in texture with hints of espresso, almond, and chocolate.
Ingredients
· 1 cup (8floz/225ml) heavy whipping cream
· 1 cup mascarpone cheese,
· 70g sugar
· 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
· 1 tablespoon Amaretto liquor or Brandy
· 450ml espresso or STRONG coffee at room temperature
· 1 pack Ladyfingers (Boudoir biscuits/Savoiardi)
· Cocoa powder for dusting the top
The steps
1) Beat whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
2) Add in mascarpone cheese and amaretto (if using) and continue to whip to stiff peaks.
3) Dip ladyfingers in coffee (and brandy if using) and place in an 8×8 pan to make the first layer – you can fit about 7 cookies in each layer. Don't let them soak as the will fall apart, just a quick dunk in the coffee is enough.
4) Spread half of the whipped cream mixture on top of the first layer of ladyfingers. Repeat process with the second layer of ladyfingers and cream mixture.
5) Dust the top of dessert with cocoa powder using a sieve. Refrigerate for about 2-4 hours (it gets even better in the fridge and is a perfect make-ahead dessert).
