Servings: 8 - 10 servings
Calories: 676kcal
Equipment
- Baking dish (11 x 9), slightly bigger or smaller will work too.
Ingredients
- 28-30 Savoiardi biscuits/cookies ladyfingers
- 2 cups mascarpone (500g)
- 2 cups heavy cream double cream UK (460ml)
- 6 tablespoon white sugar (100g)
- 1.5 cup strong brewed coffee (375ml)
- 3 tablespoon coffee liqueur
- 1-2 tablespoon cocoa powder
- 1-2 squares dark chocolate for grating (optional)
Instructions
- Brew the coffee and add it to a large dish with 3 tablespoon coffee liqueur, stir to combine.
- In a large bowl whip the heavy cream to stiff peaks, be careful not to over beat!
- In a separate bowl beat the mascarpone, sugar and 1 tablespoon coffee liqueur until smooth and creamy. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture ½ at a time until well combined.
- One at a time, dunk the Savoiardi biscuits into the coffee mixture for 1-2 seconds each side and arrange them in one flat layer in your baking dish.
- Top with half of the mascarpone cream mixture then grate over some dark chocolate. Repeat with a second layer of coffee soaked savoiardi biscuits and the last half of the mascarpone mixture. Cover with foil and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, overnight preferred.
- When ready to serve, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder and grate over more dark chocolate if desired. Serve.

Notes
- Get Italian Savoiardi biscuits if possible - authentic Savoiardi are very light and crispy (not cake-like) so absorb liquid very easily and quickly. If you use dense ladyfingers you'll need to soak them for longer in the liquid and will probably need more coffee.
- Don't overwhip the cream - heavy cream (double cream UK) can overwhip in a matter of seconds. It should hold its shape but be smooth and velvety.
- No alcohol - you can skip the alcohol and replace it with more coffee if desired.
- Caffeine-free - if you need to avoid caffeine you can use decaf espresso coffee instead.
- Storage - the tiramisu will keep well in the fridge (covered) for up to 3-4 days.
