Tiramisu
This is a lighter version of the traditional Italian dessert.
Ingredients
- 16 ounces mascarpone Italian cream cheese (at room temperature)
- 1/2 cup granulated white sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups strong cold espresso
- 5 Tablespoons Kahlua or coffee flavoured liqueur (I use 3 Tablespoons of the original Coffee Kahlua and 2 tablespoons of the Salted Caramel Kahlua)
- 1 package lady fingers (approximately 40 lady fingers)
- Cocoa powder for dusting the top
Instructions
- Add whipping cream to a mixing bowl and beat with a hand or standing electric mixer. Slowly add sugar and vanilla and continue to beat until stiff peaks are formed.
- Gently add mascarpone cheese and fold in until combined. Set aside.
- In a shallow pan combine the coffee liqueur and the expresso coffee.
- Dip the lady fingers on both sides in the coffee mixture being careful not to over soak them. Quickly dip them on both sides for approximately 20 seconds each side.
- Lay the dipped lady fingers in a single layer on the bottom of a 9 x 13 inch size baking pan.
- Smooth half of the mascarpone mixture over the lady fingers.
- Add another layer of dipped lady fingers.
- Smooth the remaining mascarpone cream over the top.
- Dust with cocoa powder generously over the top (I use a fine mesh strainer to do this).
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight before serving.
