👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Make the coffee dip: brew strong black coffee, mix with 2 tbsp granulated sugar, stir well, then let it cool to room temperature or lukewarm. Pour into a wide, flat dish to make dipping the cookies easier.
- 2 Make the egg cream (alcohol-free zabaglione): over a pot of simmering water (double boiler, low heat), whisk the egg yolks, 50 grams granulated sugar, and cooled boiled water continuously with a whisk for 5-7 minutes until thickened, pale, and forming a ribbon when the whisk is lifted. Remove from heat and let cool, stirring occasionally.
- 3 In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone with the powdered sugar and salt using a mixer on low speed for 1-2 minutes until smooth and free of lumps. Add the cooled egg cream and mix well with a spatula.
- 4 In another bowl, whip the cold heavy cream with a mixer on high speed for 3-4 minutes until soft peaks form (firm but still soft). Gradually fold it into the mascarpone mixture, folding gently with a spatula to keep the air in, until well combined and the cream looks light and airy.
- 5 Dip the lady finger cookies one by one into the coffee for just 1-2 seconds per side (don't soak too long or they'll get soggy and fall apart), then arrange them snugly in a single layer at the bottom of a glass dish or 8x8-inch (20x20 cm) pan.
- 6 Pour half of the mascarpone cream over the layer of cookies and smooth it out with a spatula. Repeat with a second layer of coffee-dipped cookies, then pour the remaining mascarpone cream on top, smoothing the surface neatly.
- 7 Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight so the texture sets perfectly and the flavors soak in fully.
- 8 Before serving, sift cocoa powder evenly over the entire surface of the tiramisu. Slice and serve chilled straight from the fridge.
💡 Tips
• Use lady finger cookies that are slightly firm/dry so they don't fall apart too easily when dipped in coffee.
• Dip the cookies briefly (1-2 seconds) rather than soaking them, so they don't get too wet and soggy when layered.
• Make sure the mascarpone and heavy cream are truly cold before working with them so the cream doesn't split and stays firm in texture.
• The longer it chills in the fridge (overnight is best), the more the flavors will soak in and the more perfect the texture will be for slicing.
