Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert, loved for its creamy texture and perfect balance of sweet and bitter flavors. 🍮 Made with layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone, eggs, and a dusting of cocoa, it’s an elegant treat that’s surprisingly easy to prepare. Whether for a special celebration or a weekend indulgence, tiramisu is always a hit!
☕ Classic Flavor: The combination of rich coffee and creamy mascarpone creates a beautifully balanced taste.
🍫 Kid-Friendly Option: Replace the coffee with cocoa and milk for a version kids will enjoy without losing the dessert’s charm.
💡 Pro Tip: Chill the tiramisu for at least 4 hours to let the flavors meld perfectly. For an extra touch, garnish with grated chocolate or fresh berries.

Ingredients
Instructions
Preparation method
- Attach the mixing butterfly. Place the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl and whisk for 6 min./speed 4. Remove the mixing butterfly.
- Mix for 2 min./speed 3, gradually adding the mascarpone through the lid opening while the blade is rotating.
- Briefly dip the ladyfingers into very cold coffee, making sure they absorb a little liquid without breaking. Arrange half of the soaked ladyfingers on the bottom of a tray or a decorative serving plate. For decoration, I used a piping bag with a decorative tip to spread the cream on top. It’s a simple method that makes the dessert look more appealing. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the layer of ladyfingers. Cover with the remaining coffee-soaked ladyfingers, then top with the rest of the mascarpone mixture.
- Cover everything with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 6-8 hours.
- Before serving, dust the surface with cocoa powder.
