Ingredients
Scale
Coffee Syrup
- 1/3 cup hot strong coffee
- 1/2 tbsp granulated sugar
- 1/2 tbsp liqueur (such as Marsala or coffee liqueur)
Mascarpone Cream
- 2 1/2 tbsp mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar
- 1/8 tsp vanilla extract
Additional Ingredients
- 4 ladyfingers
- 2 tbsp heavy whipping cream
- 2 tbsp milk
- Cocoa powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Prepare Coffee Syrup: Combine the hot strong coffee with granulated sugar in a bowl and stir until the sugar is fully dissolved. Allow the mixture to cool completely before stirring in the liqueur. This ensures the flavors meld properly.
- Make Mascarpone Cream: In a medium bowl, whisk together the heavy whipping cream, confectioners’ sugar, and vanilla extract until the mixture thickens and stiff peaks form. Gently fold in the softened mascarpone cheese until smooth and creamy. Chill this cream in the refrigerator until ready to use to maintain its texture.
- Assemble the Base Layer: Quickly dip two ladyfingers one at a time on both sides into the cooled coffee syrup, ensuring they absorb the liquid but don’t become soggy. Place them side by side in the center of your serving plate.
- Add Cream Layer: Pipe or spoon a generous layer of the mascarpone cream over the soaked ladyfingers evenly to create a smooth layer.
- Top Layer: Dip the remaining two ladyfingers in the coffee syrup and place them atop the mascarpone cream layer. Follow by piping the remaining mascarpone cream on top, smoothing it out carefully.
- Chill: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 1 hour to allow it to set and the flavors to meld. If chilling longer, cover the tiramisu to prevent it from drying out.
- Prepare Milk Pour: Mix the 2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream with 2 tablespoons milk. Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu lightly with cocoa powder.
- Serve: Pour the milk and cream mixture gently over the tiramisu when ready to serve. Avoid leaving the dessert submerged in the milk for too long to preserve ladyfinger texture. Enjoy your creamy, luscious poured tiramisu!
Notes
- Use freshly brewed strong coffee for the best flavor.
- Adjust the amount of sugar and liqueur in the coffee syrup according to taste.
