Ingredients
  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 cup mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 cup strong espresso, cooled
  • 1/2 cup coffee liqueur
  • 20 ladyfinger cookies
  • 4 oz semi-sweet chocolate, melted
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons dark chocolate shavings (for garnish)
Instructions
  1. 1In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.
  2. 2Add mascarpone cheese to the egg mixture and mix until smooth and well combined.
  3. 3In another bowl, beat the heavy cream to stiff peaks and then gently fold it into the mascarpone mixture.
  4. 4In a shallow dish, combine cooled espresso and coffee liqueur.
  5. 5Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x9 inch dish.
  6. 6Spread half of the mascarpone and egg mixture over the ladyfingers evenly.
  7. 7Melt the semi-sweet chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl or over a double boiler, then cool slightly before folding it into the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  8. 8Spread half of the chocolate filling over the mascarpone layer and smooth it out.
  9. 9Repeat the dipping process with the remaining ladyfingers and place a second layer on top of the chocolate filling.
  10. 10Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over this layer followed by the remaining chocolate mousse.
  11. 11Chill the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld.
  12. 12Before serving, dust with cocoa powder and garnish with dark chocolate shavings.
