Authentic Italian Tiramisu without Whipping Cream
Equipment
Ingredients
Makes: 20 x 15cm rectangle
- 2 large egg yolks
- ½ cup powdered sugar
- 335 g mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup brewed coffee cold
- 2 tbsp rum or coffee liqueur
- 12 ladyfingers
- Cocoa powder
Instructions
- In a bowl (large enough to fit the ladyfingers), prepare your brewed coffee. Allow it to cool and set it aside.
- In a metal bowl, combine the egg yolks, powdered sugar, and 1 tbsp of rum. Whisk until combined.
- Place the metal bowl over a pot of hot water. Continue whisking until the mixture becomes pale and thick, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the yolk mixture from the hot water bath and add the mascarpone cheese.
- Whisk the mascarpone mixture until it is creamy and smooth.
- Add the remaining 1 tbsp of rum to the cooled brewed coffee. Mix until combined.
- Quickly dip each ladyfinger on both sides into the coffee mixture and arrange them in an even layer at the bottom of a glass container (I use a 20cm x 15cm glass lunch box).
- Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining filling.
- Cover the container with an airtight lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
- Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
