Classic Tiramisu is a decadent Italian dessert and it really is simple enough to make at home!

I love Tiramisu!  Like I could practically marry it… IF I could marry a dessert 🙂   I first fell in love with it in Italy when I was there on vacation almost 10 years ago.  It is creamy, dreamy, and with a touch of coffee flavor that melts in your mouth in the most beautiful way.

Sometimes, when I taste desserts in a restaurant I can be too intimidated to try making them at home but this recipe is so simple to make- it’s sure to be a success plus you’ll love having the whole pan to enjoy and share too!

Classic Tiramisu is sure to win the hearts of your family and friends.  I love to make things and share them with the people I love.  It’s always been my way of spreading the love around my neighborhood too.  So, take this recipe to any event, anytime of year and it will be a sure way into everyones hearts!!

Prep Time 20 minutes

Total Time 20 minutes

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs, separated
• 1 cup plus 1 Tbsp. sugar, 1 Tbsp. is reserved for the whipping cream
• 2 cups mascarpone cheese
• 1-1/2 cups brewed coffee
• 1/2 cup coffee liqueur
• 30-35 store-bought giant ladyfingers, you can use regular, you'll just need more
• 1 cup heavy cream
• cocoa powder
• milk chocolate

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, beat egg yolks and the 1 cup of sugar until light and fluffy. Stir in mascarpone cheese until incorporated.
2. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat egg whites until soft peaks form. Fold in beaten egg whites into mascarpone cheese mixture.
3. In a small bowl combine coffee and coffee liqueur. Dip ladyfingers into coffee-liqueur mixture and lay in rows in the bottom of a 9X13-inch dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream on top. Repeat with dipped lady fingers and spread the remaining mascarpone cream mixture on top.
4. In a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat heavy cream and tablespoon of sugar until stiff peaks form. Spread whipped cream on top.
5. Dust with cocoa powder and garnish with grated and/or shaved milk chocolate. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight to allow lady fingers to soak up coffee-liqueur mixture.
6. Enjoy!
