Description
A deliciously simple recipe for a classic Tiramisu made in a loaf pan, perfect for coffee lovers.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 3 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
- 3 large eggs, separated
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
- Dark chocolate shavings (for garnish, optional)
Instructions
- In a shallow dish, combine the cooled coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and granulated sugar together until the mixture is pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
- Add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture, and gently fold until smooth and well combined.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until no white streaks remain.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×9-inch dish.
- Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers. Repeat the process with another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture.
- Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
Notes
- For a coffee-free version, substitute brewed coffee with strong brewed tea.
- You can also add a layer of chocolate ganache between the mascarpone layers for an extra indulgent twist.
