Ingredients
1 1/2 cups (375 milliliters) 35% cream
1 cup (250 milliliters) mascarpone
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon (62 grams) sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup (250 milliliters) strong black coffee, cooled
1/4 cup (60 milliliters) Marsala wine or coffee liqueur
22 to 24 crisp ladyfingers
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
Directions
- Line a 9-by-5-inch loaf pan with plastic wrap.
- Using a hand mixer or your stand mixer, beat the cream and mascarpone with 1/4 cup (50 grams) of the sugar as well as the vanilla extract until it holds stiff peaks.
- In a shallow dish, combine the remaining 1 tablespoon (12 grams) of sugar with the coffee and wine or liqueur and mix until the sugar has dissolved.
- Spread about one-third of the cream mixture into the bottom of the prepared pan. Quickly dunk one lady finger at a time into the coffee mixture and allow the excess to drip off before arranging snuggly in the pan. Continue until you have a full layer of ladyfingers, cutting or breaking pieces to fit. Pour half of the cream mixture on top and follow with another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers. Finish with the final layer of the cream mixture and the remaining coffee-soaked ladyfingers. Cover and place the fridge for at least 2 hours or up to 3 days to set up.
- When ready to serve, uncover the tiramisu and invert it onto a serving dish. Remove the plastic wrap and dust the top with cocoa powder just before slicing and serving.
