Ingredients:
- Savoyardi Cookies (Ladyfingers)
- 300 grams of 33% fat whipping cream
- 250 grams of mascarpone cheese
- 4-5 tablespoons of powdered sugar (adjust to taste)
- 1 cup of strongly brewed Arabica coffee, cooled
Instructions:
- Prepare the Coffee:
- Brew a cup of strong Arabica coffee and allow it to cool. This coffee will be used to infuse the ladyfingers with a rich, full flavor.
- Make the Cream Mixture:
- In a mixing bowl, beat the whipping cream with powdered sugar until it forms light peaks.
- Add the mascarpone cheese to the whipped cream. Mix gently with a whisk until smooth and well combined.
- Assemble the Tiramisu:
- In a deep bowl or baking dish, lay down a layer of savoyardi cookies.
- Use a pastry brush to lightly moisten each cookie with the cooled coffee, ensuring they are flavored but not soggy.
- Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the moistened ladyfingers, smoothing it out with a spoon or spatula.
- Add another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, followed by the remaining cream.
- Chill and Set:
- Cover the dish with cling film and refrigerate for at least a few hours, ideally overnight. This resting period allows the flavors to meld together and the tiramisu to set properly.
- Serve:
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder or your chosen decorations. Serve chilled.
Enjoy this classic no-bake Tiramisu, a testament to the simplicity and elegance of Italian desserts. Perfect for any occasion, this dessert is sure to bring a touch of gourmet to your table without the need for baking.
