My Easy Tiramisu Recipe is a classic Italian dessert with a luxurious creamy mascarpone filling. The coffee flavor sings in this dessert and helps soften the ladyfingers perfectly. The sprinkling of cocoa takes it right over the edge and makes for a lovely presentation.

Equipment

Ingredients

475 ml whipping cream
2 cups mascarpone cheese
½ cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2.5 cups cold coffee or espresso
1 tablespoon Kahlua optional
40 lady finger cookies
cacao powder or cocoa for dusting

Instructions

Using a stand mixer or hand mixer, whip the cream until it forms stiff peaks and set it aside. In a separate bowl mix the mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla together. Slowly combine your whipped cream with your mascarpone mixture until you get a nice smooth cream.
Brew some coffee or espresso and let it cool down fully. Add your Kahlua if you wish. In a 9 x 13-inch dish (or any), begin to arrange your tiramisu.
Start by dipping in each lady finger cookie into your coffee and layering it on the bottom of your pan.
Once the first layer is arranged, evenly spread half of the filling on top.
Repeat this step and refrigerate for 4 hours to overnight. Dust with cocoa or cacao powder and enjoy.
