Title: Tiramisu
Ingredients:
– 6 large egg yolks
– 3/4 cup granulated sugar
– 1 cup mascarpone cheese
– 1 1/2 cups strong brewed espresso, cooled to room temperature
– 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
– 24-30 ladyfinger biscuits
– Cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions:
1. In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Place the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, creating a double boiler. Continue whisking until the sugar is dissolved, and the mixture is thick and pale in color, about 5 minutes.
2. Remove the bowl from the heat and add the mascarpone cheese. Whisk until smooth and creamy. Set aside.
3. In a shallow dish, combine the brewed espresso and coffee liqueur, if using. Dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Line the bottom of a 9×9-inch square dish with a layer of soaked ladyfingers.
4. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, creating an even layer. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and remaining mascarpone mixture.
5. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
6. Before serving, dust the top of the Tiramisu with a generous amount of cocoa powder, using a fine-mesh sieve for an even coating.
7. Slice into portions and serve chilled. Enjoy the luscious layers of creamy mascarpone, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and delicate cocoa powder. Buon appetito!
