Ingredients

  • 2 ½ cups brewed espresso coffee, cooled
  • 1 ¼ cups Marsala wine
  • 4 medium eggs, separated
  • ½ cup white sugar, divided
  • 14 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 40 Savoiardi biscuits (ladyfingers)
  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, or more to taste
  • 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings, or to taste

Directions

Step 1
Mix cooled coffee and Marsala wine together in a bowl.

Step 2
Beat egg yolks with half of the sugar in a bowl until you have a clear cream with no lumps. Stir the mascarpone with a wooden spoon or whisk in a separate bowl until creamy; stir into the egg yolks.

Step 3
Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until they form peaks; fold gently into mascarpone mixture.

Step 4
Dip half of the savoiardi biscuits into coffee-Marsala mixture. Arrange dipped biscuits carefully in a glass dish. Cover dipped biscuits with half of the mascarpone mixture. Smooth out mascarpone until evenly distributed; top with half of the cocoa powder. Repeat layering with dipped savoiardi biscuits, mascarpone mixture, and cocoa powder; top with chocolate shavings.

Step 5
Refrigerate tiramisu until flavors blend, at least 3 hours.

Cook’s Notes:

When you are mixing the egg whites with the mascarpone and yolk mixture, you can also add some small pieces of chocolate to the mixture to make it crunchy.
