Description
A no-fuss, no-bake twist on the classic Italian dessert, this Tiramisu Cake layers espresso-soaked ladyfingers with velvety mascarpone cream and a dusting of cocoa for a dreamy, comforting treat.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 packs (about 400g) Ladyfingers (savoiardi)
- 500g (about 2 cups) Mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup (240ml) Heavy cream
- 1/2 cup (100g) Granulated sugar
- 1 1/2 cups Strong brewed espresso (cooled)
- 1/4 cup (60ml) Coffee liqueur (optional, like Kahlúa)
- 1 tsp Vanilla extract
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
- Dark chocolate (for shavings, optional)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, whip the chilled heavy cream until soft peaks form.
- In another bowl, gently fold together the mascarpone, sugar, and vanilla extract. Carefully fold in the whipped cream until smooth and creamy.
- Mix the brewed espresso with the coffee liqueur in a shallow dish.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture and arrange a layer at the bottom of your dish or cake pan.
- Spread a generous layer of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers. Repeat the process, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream on top.
- Dust the top generously with unsweetened cocoa powder and sprinkle with dark chocolate shavings if desired.
- Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or overnight before serving.
Notes
Quickly dip the ladyfingers to avoid sogginess. Use fresh, high-quality mascarpone for the best texture. Chill overnight for optimal flavor melding. Experiment with flavor twists like berry syrup or lemon soak for variations.
