Tiramisu Recipe

Patricia Martinescu from Bake Cook Repeat
Tiramisu is a classic no-bake creamy dessert made of espresso-dipped lady fingers nestled between lightly sweetened cream and rich mascarpone, topped with cocoa powder. Translated as “cheer me up”, this dessert is sure to do just that.

Ingredients
 
 

  • 14 ounces Savoiardi lady fingers
  • 16 ounces mascarpone softened
  • 2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream cold
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 ½ cups espresso or strong coffee
  • 3 teaspoons rum extract
  • 3 Tablespoons dark cocoa powder plus additional for dusting

Instructions
 

  • Brew coffee or make espresso. Then, add rum and whisk together until combined. Transfer to a wide bowl, big enough for dipping the lady fingers. Set aside to cool down.
    2 ½ cups espresso or strong coffee, 3 teaspoons rum extract
  • Add the cold heavy whipping cream and powdered sugar into a mixing bowl. Using an electric hand held mixer, mix on medium-low speed until semi-soft peaks form.
    2 ½ cups heavy whipping cream, 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • In a separate mixing bowl, add softened mascarpone. Whip the mascarpone until smooth and fluffy. Then, add half the whipped cream and fold into the mascarpone. Add the other half and fold again.
    Note: Folding a little bit of the whipped cream at a time helps retain the whipped air in the cream. This recipe is not shy of filling. That is intentional. Go ahead, enjoy a spoonful or two.
    16 ounces mascarpone
  • Soak one lady finger at a time into the espresso quickly. Create a single layer at the bottom of a 9"x13" size pan. This can also be assembled into individual cups or two smaller pans. Add half the cream mixture and use an offset spatula to spread and cover the first layer. Lightly dust with cocoa powder. Repeat with a layer of soaked lady fingers and the remaining cream filling.

  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 6 hours, but optimally overnight. Heavily dust with the remaining cocoa powder before serving.
    3 Tablespoons dark cocoa powder
