Ingredients:
For the Tiramisu Roll:
- Ladyfingers (Savoiardi), enough to line up in two parallel rows
- Sweetened coffee, enough to soak the ladyfingers
- Cocoa powder (sweetened or unsweetened) for dusting
For the Mascarpone Cream:
- 240g mascarpone cheese
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 2 egg yolks (optional)
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons sweetened whipping cream
Instructions:
- Prepare the Base:
- Lay out a piece of plastic wrap on a flat surface. Dust it with cocoa powder (sweetened or unsweetened, according to your preference).
- Dip the ladyfingers into the sweetened coffee, making sure they are soaked but not soggy. Align the soaked ladyfingers in two parallel rows on the cocoa-dusted plastic wrap.
- Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, granulated sugar, egg yolks (if using), honey, and whipping cream. Mix until smooth and creamy.
- Spread an even layer of the mascarpone cream over the arranged ladyfingers.
- Dust the cream layer with a light sprinkling of cocoa powder.
- Roll the Tiramisu:
- Using the plastic wrap to help you, gently roll the ladyfingers from the longer side, creating a tight roll. Make sure the seam is on the bottom to keep the roll intact.
- Wrap the tiramisu roll tightly in the plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, allowing it to set.
- Serve:
- After chilling, unwrap the tiramisu roll and slice it into even pieces.
- Serve chilled, with an extra dusting of cocoa powder or chocolate shavings if desired.
Enjoy!
