A simply decadent classic Italian dessert that features espresso-soaked ladyfingers layered with a rich mascarpone cheese-sweetened whipped cream mixture and dusted with cocoa to finish.
- Prep time: 15 minutes
- Chilling Time: 4-6 hours
- Serves: 8-10
Ingredients:
1 c. heavy whipping cream
12 oz. mascarpone cheese, softened at room temperature
1/2 c. powdered sugar
1/4 t. salt
1 c. espresso, freshly-brewed
1/4 c. Marsala wine (optional, you can also substitute rum)
2 T. granulated sugar
10 oz. Italian ladyfingers
1/4 c. unsweetened cocoa powder
Directions:
- Place the heavy cream in a large bowl and whip until it doubles in volume and becomes light and airy.
- In a separate large bowl, beat the mascarpone with the powdered sugar and salt until it becomes light and fluffy. Slowly begin adding the whipped cream to the mascarpone mixture, one-fourth at a time, gently folding with a spatula to ensure the cream doesn’t deflate. Place the mascarpone cream in the fridge.
- Add the espresso, Marsala, and sugar to a shallow bowl and mix well.
- Our functional medicine Studio City professionals suggested briefly dunking half of the Italian ladyfingers in the espresso mixture, just for 1–2 seconds on each side, and arrange them in a casserole dish, covering the bottom of the dish with the ladyfingers.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
- Repeat with a second layer of ladyfingers and top with the remainder of the mascarpone cream.
- Place the tiramisu in the fridge to set for a minimum of 4-6 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with the unsweetened cocoa powder. Serve family-style and enjoy!
