Tiramisu Recipe | How to Make Tiramisu

mascarpone cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and calories, while cream cheese is often more affordable.

ladyfingers

🥗Healthier: whole grain ladyfingers

💰Cheaper: sponge cake

Whole grain options provide more fiber, and sponge cake can be a budget-friendly substitute.

Brew 375ml of coffee and let it cool.

Add 2 to 3 tablespoons of coffee liqueur to the coffee (optional).

In a bowl, combine 5 egg yolks and 125g of sugar, and heat over a double boiler while stirring constantly until the sugar has melted and the mixture thickens, reaching a temperature of 68-70°C.

Remove from heat and let cool.

In another bowl, mix 425g of mascarpone cheese with 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.

In a separate bowl, whip 400ml of heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Fold 1/3 of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, then add the rest of the whipped cream gently.

Dip ladyfingers briefly (1 to 2 seconds) in the coffee mixture.

Layer the dipped ladyfingers in a 22x33cm baking dish.

Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.

Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.

Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours.

Dust the top with cocoa powder before serving.
