Learn how to make tiramisu, the classic Italian dessert! Layers of a decadent mascarpone cheese mixture and lady fingers soaked in espresso and Kahlua. Dessert doesn’t get any better than this!!
What you’ll need:
6 oz water
2 rounded tsp instant espresso powder
50mL Kahlua
6 large egg yolks
1 cup white sugar
2 Tbsp milk
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
8 oz mascarpone cheese
(2) 3.5oz boxes Lady Finger cookies
unsweetened cocoa powder
In a small bowl, bring water to a boil and add in espresso powder. Whisk until dissolved and add in Kahlua. Set aside to cool.
In a double boiler or bain marie, combine egg yolks, sugar and milk. While whisking constantly, cook for 8-10 minutes to cook the egg yolks. Mixture should be smooth but not all sugar will dissolve. This is okay. Set aside and let cool. Once cool, transfer to a large bowl and add in room temperature mascarpone cheese. Mix well until smooth.
In a stand mixer or large bowl with a hand mixer, combine heavy cream and vanilla and mix on medium-high speed until a stiff whipped cream is made. Be careful as to not mix too long or you’ll get butter. Add to cooled egg and mascarpone mixture and fold gently to incorporate.
To assemble the tiramisu, dunk lady fingers into espresso mixture for 2-3 seconds and line the bottom of a 9″x9″ baking dish with them. Spread half of mascarpone mixture on top, repeat another layer of soaked lady fingers and then spread remainder of mascarpone mixture on top. Cover and refrigerate for AT LEAST 8 hours! It’s best to let sit 24-48 hours. To serve, slice and plate and dust the top with unsweetened cocoa powder. Makes 9 servings. Enjoy!!

Looks great! Can’t wait to try this — am making it for the holidays.
so why is this such a decadent dessert? its pudding and coffee soaked cookies mixed up
Is it kahlua coffee?
fucking khabib
I made it and it was soooo good, I forgot the cheese and didn’t add the booze and it was soooooo yummy! Thank you, you saved dinner because my pasta was atrocious. haaahahaha
You have a great voice and diction. You have the perfect background music as well…Excellent video…can’t be any more perfect. Thank you..
To Alfio Ferrea. Several different spirits are “authentic”. Vin Santo springs to mind. mmm
But, I do agree, to a point. It pains me to see pineapple on pizzza. but ‘murica and all that jazz..
is it granulated sugar or powdered sugar. awesome recipe. have tried many many times and it has never failed
I didn’t know it was so easy.
Why did I spend $9 on a Walmart premade D< asdfdfghfgjjl;!k
What if i didn’t let the egg yolks rest and cool completely does that mean i failed?
I think you took the whipped cream to far.
tried this last week it was awesome doing it again today for my valentine’s night tommorow. huge thank you for this
Gathering my ingredients NOW! I can’t wait to make this and you are SO THOROUGH!! I cannot wait!! Thank you! I’ll let you know how it turns out!!!
I made my very first Tiramisu last night…while watching your video. Thanks! 🙂
good
Question: would brandy be good to add in this instead of kahlua?
is this a no bake cake? because you put in egg yolks, don’t they need to be cooked?
what is kahlua? anyone
Wow!
omg lol
When Italians started using Kahlua? Don’t call it Italian if you’re going to use other thing than Marsala wine.
cool whip is not food
I liki it
