Easy Tiramisu
This is a straightforward tiramisu that uses a simple whipped cream and mascarpone base for its rich, airy texture. The whole thing comes together pretty quickly, but the most important step is the long chill in the fridge, which is what really melds the flavors and softens the ladyfingers.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream cold
- 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 pinch kosher salt
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese cold
- 2 cups strongly brewed coffee cooled
- 2 packages ladyfingers 7-ounce
- Dutch-processed cocoa powder for dusting
Instructions
- Beat cold heavy cream on low-medium speed, gradually adding sugar and salt.
- Add vanilla and beat until stiff peaks form.
- Whisk cold mascarpone briefly until smooth.
- Fold mascarpone into whipped cream mixture until combined.
- Pour cooled coffee into wide shallow bowl.
- Quickly dip ladyfingers in coffee, one second per side.
- Layer dipped ladyfingers in bottom of 9x9 inch pan.
- Spread 1/3 of mascarpone cream over ladyfingers.
- Repeat layers twice more with remaining ladyfingers and cream.
- Dust top generously with cocoa powder.
- Refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
- Cut with hot, clean knife to serve.
Notes
For cleanest slices, run knife under hot water and dry between cuts.
