The Tiramisu Of My Dreams!

Ingredients

• 250 g Mascarpone Cheese (room temperature, chilled before use)
• 4 large Egg Yolks (separated from whites, at room temperature)
• 80 g Granulated Sugar (divided: 50 g for yolk mixture, 30 g for egg whites)
• 4 large Egg Whites (clean bowl, no yolk, at room temperature)
• 240 ml Strong Brewed Coffee (cooled to room temperature; espresso works best)
• 200 g Milano Double Dark Chocolate Cookies (approximately 20‑22 cookies, broken into halves if large)
• 2 tbsp Unsweetened Cocoa Powder (for dusting on top)
• 30 ml Coffee Liqueur (optional) (adds depth; omit for a non‑alcoholic version)

Instructions

1. Brew Strong Coffee

   Prepare 240 ml of strong coffee or espresso and let it cool to room temperature. If using liqueur, stir it in now.

   Time: PT5M

2. Separate Eggs

   Carefully separate the yolks from the whites, placing yolks in one bowl and whites in another. Ensure no yolk contaminates the whites.

   Time: PT2M

3. Whisk Egg Yolks and Sugar

   Add 50 g of granulated sugar to the yolks and whisk vigorously until the mixture becomes pale, thick, and ribbon‑like.

   Time: PT5M

4. Incorporate Mascarpone

   Fold the room‑temperature mascarpone into the yolk‑sugar mixture until smooth and fully combined. Do not over‑mix.

   Time: PT3M

5. Beat Egg Whites to Stiff Peaks

   Using a hand whisk, beat the egg whites with the remaining 30 g sugar until stiff, glossy peaks form. This will take about 10 minutes of steady whisking.

   Time: PT10M

6. Fold Egg Whites into Cream

   Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone‑yolk mixture in two additions, preserving as much air as possible.

   Time: PT2M

7. Dip Cookies in Coffee

   Briefly dip each Milano cookie into the cooled coffee (about 1–2 seconds) so it soaks but does not fall apart. Arrange dipped cookies in a single layer at the bottom of the dish.

   Time: PT5M

8. Layer Cream and Cookies

   Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the first layer of cookies. Repeat with a second layer of dipped cookies and the remaining cream, smoothing the top.

   Time: PT5M

9. Dust with Cocoa Powder

   Sift 2 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder over the top of the tiramisu for a finishing touch.

   Time: PT1M

10. Chill

    Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour (overnight is ideal) to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set.

    Time: PT1H
