Tiramisu Coffee

🧂 Ingredients

4 egg yolks
1/2 cup plus 2 tbsp granulated sugar
16 oz mascarpone cheese
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
1 cup strongly brewed coffee

cooled
24 packaged ladyfingers
cocoa powder

for garnish

Instructions

1 To set up a double boiler, add 1–2 inches of water to a pot and place it on the
stove over medium heat. Put a heat-safe bowl on top of the pot, making sure the
bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Bring the water to a simmer.
2 Add the egg yolks and 1/2 cup sugar to the bowl and whisk constantly until the
mixture is thick and pale in color, 5-7 minutes.
3 Remove from the heat and let cool completely. Then, whisk in the mascarpone and
vanilla.
4 In a separate bowl, whisk together the heavy cream and remaining 2 tbsp of sugar
until stiff peaks. Add the whipped cream to the mascarpone/egg yolk mixture and
fold until combined.
5 Start layering the tiramisu by quickly dipping the ladyfingers into the coffee.
Be careful not to the soak the ladyfingers too long or they will fall apart.
6 Place them in a single layer onto the bottom of an 8×8 pan.
7 Add half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and spread into an even
layer. Add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and spread the remaining
mascarpone mixture.
8 Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. When
ready to serve, dust with cocoa powder.
