Classic Tiramisu RecipeTotal Time: 20-30 minsIngredients8 ounces Italian mascarpone cheese8-10 ladyfingers (Italian savoiardi cookies)2 small egg yolks (or 1 extra large)2 tablespoons sugar1 double shot or 2 ounces espresso or extra strong coffee, cooled1 ½ tablespoons brandy or dark rum1-2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoachocolate shavings for garnish (optional)InstructionsIn a bowl, whisk egg yolks, sugar and half of the brandy. Whip fast to thicken. Then, spoon by spoon fold in mascarpone. Mixture should be a little softer than the consistency of mayonnaise. If mixture isn’t thick enough and comes out runny, use a hand blender with whipping blades to thicken.On a small plate, mix espresso plus the rest of brandy. Quickly dip each side of the ladyfingers (do not completely soak), then add a layer to the bottom of your serving dish. Top with about 1/3 of mascarpone mixture, then repeat and top with the rest of the mixture.Cover and rest in fridge for 4 hours or overnight. Sprinkle cocoa and chocolate shavings on top before serving.A note on plating/serving: I made this dish on a small plate because my cream mixture always comes out pretty thick so it will stand on its own. Obviously feel free to use a traditional square pan to prepare your tiramisu in. -- source link
