Easy Tiramisu is a classic Italian no-bake dessert featuring layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and a rich mascarpone cream, dusted with cocoa powder. This recipe provides a luscious, creamy treat that’s perfect for any occasion and requires no oven, only chilling time.

Ingredients

Espresso

  • 2 cups brewed espresso (or coffee, cooled)

Filling

  • 5 large egg yolks (pasteurized)
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 16 ounces mascarpone cheese (chilled)
  • 1 1/2 cups heavy cream (chilled)
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Assembly

  • 36 hard ladyfinger cookies
  • 1/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (for dusting)

Instructions

  1. Brew the espresso: Prepare 2 cups of strong espresso or coffee and allow it to cool completely before using to soak the ladyfingers.
  2. Make the filling: In a mixing bowl, beat 5 pasteurized egg yolks with 1/2 cup sugar until pale and thick, about 3 to 4 minutes. Add 16 ounces of chilled mascarpone cheese and 1/2 teaspoon salt, mixing until smooth and creamy. Gently whip in 1 1/2 cups of chilled heavy cream until the mixture is light and airy with soft peaks, taking care not to overmix.
  3. Dip the ladyfingers: One at a time, quickly dip each of the 36 ladyfinger cookies into the cooled espresso for about 1 to 2 seconds per side. The cookies should be moistened but not soggy to maintain structure.
  4. Layer it up: Arrange a layer of dipped ladyfingers in the bottom of your serving dish. Spread one-quarter of the mascarpone filling evenly over the ladyfingers and dust with 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder. Repeat this layering process 3 to 4 times, finishing with a generous dusting of cocoa powder on top.
  5. Chill: Cover the assembled tiramisu tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.

Notes

  • Use pasteurized egg yolks for safety, as the filling is not cooked.
  • Ensure the espresso or coffee is completely cooled before dipping ladyfingers to prevent sogginess.
  • The mascarpone and heavy cream should be very cold to whip the filling correctly.
  • Adjust the amount of cocoa powder dusting to taste.
  • This dessert is best made a day ahead for optimal flavor.
