This delicious and easy tiramisu recipe features three layers of fluffy mascarpone whipped cream and espresso-soaked ladyfingers, finished with a generous dusting of cocoa powder. With no oven or stovetop required, this no-bake recipe comes together quickly and will have you reaching for a second (or third!) slice.
Ingredients
- 360 grams (1 ½ cups) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 100 grams (½ cup) granulated sugar
- ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt
- ½ tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract
- 12 oz (1 ½ cups) mascarpone cheese, cold
- 360-480 grams (1 ½ - 2 cups) espresso or strongly brewed coffee
- 2 packages ladyfingers
- cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- For the tiramisu, use a 9x9 inch or similar size pan so it is easy to stack and layer the ladyfingers.
- In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream on low-medium speed while slowly streaming in the granulated sugar and salt. Add the vanilla and mix until fluffy, stiff peaks form.360 grams heavy whipping cream, 100 grams granulated sugar, ¼ teaspoon fine sea salt, ½ tablespoon vanilla bean paste or extract

- Pour the espresso or strongly brewed coffee into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip one ladyfinger at a time in the espresso and layer them in the bottom of your pan.

- Add a second layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, followed by another third of the mascarpone cream. Repeat once more with a final layer of ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Once assembled, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder. I chose to make the top of this tiramisu with heart stencils, so feel free to get creative, or simply dust the entire top with cocoa powder.cocoa powder
- Put in the fridge for at least 4 hours but ideally overnight.
- To ensure clean cuts, run a sharp knife under hot water, wipe it dry, and carefully slice through the tiramisu, cleaning the blade between each cut & repeating for the best results.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy!
