Ingredients

Mascarpone Cheese: A rich and creamy Italian cheese that is the key ingredient in traditional tiramisu. It has a smooth texture and a slightly sweet flavor, which adds a decadent touch to the dessert.

Icing Sugar: Also known as confectioners’ sugar, this finely powdered sugar is used to sweeten the mascarpone cream layer of the tiramisu. It dissolves easily and helps create a smooth and creamy texture.

Double Cream: A thick and high-fat cream that adds richness and creaminess to the mascarpone mixture. It helps to create a luscious and velvety texture in the dessert.

Vanilla Extract: A flavoring agent made from vanilla beans that enhances the taste of the mascarpone cream layer. It adds a warm and aromatic flavor to the dessert.

Strong Brewed Coffee: A bold and flavorful coffee base that is used to soak the ladyfinger biscuits in. It adds a rich coffee flavor to the dessert and complements the creamy mascarpone layer.

Ladyfinger Biscuits: Also known as savoiardi, these dry and sponge-like biscuits are used to create the layers in tiramisu. They absorb the coffee mixture well and become soft and cake-like, providing a textural contrast to the creamy layers.

Cocoa Powder: A finely ground powder made from roasted and ground cacao beans that is used to dust the top of the tiramisu. It adds a bittersweet flavor and a decorative finish to the dessert.

Serving Suggestions and Pairings

• Serve chilled: Tiramisu is best served cold, so make sure to refrigerate it for at least a few hours before serving.
• Garnish with cocoa powder: Dusting the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder not only adds a decorative touch but also enhances the flavors of the dessert.
• Add a dollop of whipped cream: For an extra decadent touch, top each serving of tiramisu with a dollop of freshly whipped cream.
• Pair with espresso: Tiramisu pairs beautifully with a shot of espresso on the side. The combination of the rich, creamy dessert with a strong, bitter coffee creates a perfect balance of flavors.
• Pair with fresh berries: For a lighter dessert option, serve the tiramisu with a side of fresh berries, such as raspberries or strawberries. The tartness of the fruit cuts through the richness of the dessert and provides a refreshing contrast.
