EASY TIRAMISU RECIPE



Easy Tiramisu Recipe image

This Easy Tiramisu Recipe is made with ladyfinger cookies soaked in Kahula and espresso, then layered with fluffy mascarpone cream and topped with chocolate.

Categories     Dessert

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 egg yolks
1 cup sugar
1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese*
1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream, cold
1 (17.5 ounce) package ladyfingers
1 cup hot water
6 tbsp espresso powder
1 1/4 cups Kahlua*
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Prepare a 9×13 baking dish. If you want to be able to remove the tiramisu from the pan when done so that you can see the layers, I suggest lining the pan with parchment paper that sticks up over the sides, then putting a cardboard cake rectangle in the bottom of the pan. The tiramisu will be supported by the cardboard when you remove it using the parchment paper.
  • Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler (or in a metal mixer bowl over a pot of simmer water). Whisk to combine. The mixture will seem a little chunky at first, but will thin out as it heats up.
  • Continue cooking and whisking for about 5-8 minutes, until mixture grows in volume, thickens and turns a pale yellow. The sugar should melt, but if it's still a little grainy, that's ok. It will smooth out as you go.
  • Set the egg mixture aside to cool to a little warmer than room temperature.
  • While eggs cool, make the whipped cream. Add the heavy whipping cream to a large mixer bowl and whip on high speed until stiff peaks form.
  • When the egg mixture has cooled, add the mascarpone cheese and gently fold together until combined.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into mascarpone/egg mixture in two parts. Set mixture aside
  • Dissolve the espresso powder into the hot water, then combine with the Kahlua.
  • One at a time, dip the ladyfingers into the Kahlua mixture for about 3-5 seconds. The longer you dip the ladyfingers, the stronger the flavor will be. As you dip the ladyfingers, lay them into the bottom of the 9×13 pan. You should be able to get two rows in a layer.
  • Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
  • Repeat ladyfinger layer, then top with remaining mascarpone mixture. Dust the top with cocoa powder.
  • Refrigerate for several hours or overnight, then remove from pan (if desired) and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality coffee liqueur for the best flavor. Some good options include Kahlua, Tia Maria, or Disaronno.
  • If you don't have any coffee liqueur, you can use a mixture of espresso and rum instead. Just brew a cup of espresso and let it cool completely, then add 1/4 cup of rum.
  • Make sure the mascarpone cheese is at room temperature before you start making the filling. This will help it blend smoothly with the other ingredients.
  • If you don't have any ladyfingers, you can use graham crackers instead. Just break them into small pieces before adding them to the pan.
  • If you want a richer flavor, you can add a layer of chocolate ganache to the top of the tiramisu. To make chocolate ganache, simply heat 1/2 cup of heavy cream until it is simmering, then remove it from the heat and add 6 ounces of finely chopped chocolate. Stir until the chocolate is melted and smooth.

Conclusion:

Tiramisu squares are a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are light and fluffy, with a rich coffee flavor and a creamy mascarpone filling. The ladyfingers add a nice texture and crunch, and the chocolate shavings on top add a touch of elegance. Whether you are making them for a special occasion or just for a weeknight treat, tiramisu squares are sure to be a hit.
