For the best flavor, use high-quality coffee liqueur and mascarpone cheese. Do not oversoak the ladyfingers, as this will result in a soggy tiramisu. If you don't have a double boiler, you can use a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water. Chilling the bowl and beaters before whipping the cream will help it whip up faster and hold its shape better. Feel free to experiment with different flavorings, such as a hint of almond extract or a sprinkle of cinnamon. The tiramisu can be assembled up to 2 days in advance and stored in the refrigerator. For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate curls instead of semisweet.

01 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Gather all ingredients and prepare your workspace. (5 minutes)
02 Step
Recipe View 2 mins In the top of a double boiler, or a heatproof bowl set over a simmering pot of water (ensure the bowl doesn't touch the water), combine egg yolks and sugar. (2 minutes)
03 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly and vigorously, until the mixture is pale, thickened, and reaches 160°F (71°C). This process pasteurizes the eggs and creates a stable base for the cream. (10 minutes)
04 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Remove from heat and whip yolks with an electric mixer until thick, glossy, and lemon-colored. This incorporates air and cools the mixture slightly. (5 minutes)
05 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Add mascarpone cheese to the whipped yolks. Beat until smooth and fully combined. Be careful not to overmix, as mascarpone can become grainy. (3 minutes)
06 Step
Recipe View 5 mins In a separate chilled bowl, whip heavy cream with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. (5 minutes)
07 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Gently fold the whipped cream into the yolk and mascarpone mixture in two additions, being careful not to deflate the cream. This will create a light and airy filling. (5 minutes)
08 Step
Recipe View 10 mins Lightly split the ladyfingers in half lengthwise. Quickly dip each half into the coffee liqueur, being careful not to soak them completely – they should be moistened, not soggy. (10 minutes)
09 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl or serving dish with the coffee-soaked ladyfingers. (5 minutes)
10 Step
Recipe View 3 mins Spoon half of the mascarpone cream filling over the ladyfinger layer, spreading evenly. (3 minutes)
11 Step
Recipe View 8 mins Repeat layers with remaining coffee-soaked ladyfingers and cream filling. (8 minutes)
12 Step
Recipe View 2 mins Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap, pressing gently to prevent a skin from forming. (2 minutes)
13 Step
Recipe View 4 hrs Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set. (4+ hours)
14 Step
Recipe View 5 mins Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu generously with cocoa powder and garnish with chocolate curls. (5 minutes)
