There are so many things to love about tiramisu, the cookies, the coffee, the cream, the cocoa.....but I also love how easy it comes together, and that you don't need to turn your oven on. It's also quite the crowd pleaser at a dinner party, and feels like a proper grown up dessert with the cookies soaked in espresso and liquor. Those pictures are from a few years ago, when I was just starting this blog, but I wanted to repost as this recipe is for a 9 inch square pan (which is not photogenic at all). You can easily adjust for individual serving glasses, and break the cookies in half to fit accordingly.
1 cup whipping cream
16 ounces mascarpone (room temperature)
~ 28 lady fingers* (Savoiardi, for DC residents, you can find these at the Italian Store in Arlington or at World Market)
~1/4 cup cocoa
2 egg yolks
~1/4 granulated sugar
1 T amaretto liquor
1 T plus 1 t Marsala wine (optional)
1 cup strong coffee plus 1 shot espresso
1 additional shot espresso
Brew your coffee and espresso and let chill. With a handheld beater, whip sugar and egg yolks on high for about 5 minutes, until pale and fluffy. Add mascarpone cheese and whip for a few more minutes. Set aside, and in a second bowl, whip the cream until soft peaks form. Slowly fold in whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese. Next, stir in one shot of espresso and 1 t of Marsala wine. Taste your cream and adjust as you wish, adding some powdered sugar if you want it a bit more sweet (keep in mind the cookies are sweet). Place cup of coffee, shot of espresso and liquor and wine in a shallow bowl. Dip cookies, one at a time into coffee, and layer 14 into the bottom of a square pan. You don't want to soak the cookies, only lightly dip them, otherwise they'll fall apart as they absorb the coffee. Dust the cookies with cocoa, generously. Spread half the cream mixture across the top. Repeat with remaining cookies, dusting again with cocoa, and spreading remaining cream mixture on top, dusting lightly with cocoa. Let this chill in fridge for at least 4 hours. If you've never made tiramisu, I recommend watching some videos online for a visual explanation of the assembly process.
* Whole Foods packs come with 24, you can make do with that. Whole Foods lady fingers are a bit more sturdy and can handle a longer dip in the coffee than the Savoiardi, and they are also less sweet.
