• 1 tsp vanilla extract

Things you need for Assembling:

• Dark chocolate, grated (optional)

Instructions on making Tiramisu!

1. Prepare the Coffee Mixture. Follow the instructions below:

• Brew a strong cup of coffee. Let it cool at room temperature.
• Add the coffee liqueur (if you plan to use it) and sugar to the coffee, stirring till the sugar dissolves.

2. Make the Mascarpone Filling. Follow the steps below:

• Whisk two ingredients together – sugar and egg yolks in a heatproof bowl.
• Place this mixture over a simmering water pot (double boiler). Whisk continuously until the mixture thickens. It will form a zabaglione.
• Remove from heat and let it cool down a little.
• Take another bowl and whisk the mascarpone cheese until it turns smooth.
• Gently roll the mascarpone into the zabaglione until well combined.
• Add vanilla extract and mix until smooth. Set aside.

3. Assemble the Tiramisu Dessert. Follow the steps as follows:

• Dip the ladyfingers into the mixture of coffee individually, ensuring they are well-soaked; they shouldn’t be saturated.
• Arrange the soaked ladyfingers in layers at the bottom of the rectangular serving baking dish.
• Spread mascarpone filling (just the half) over the ladyfingers. Smooth it using a spatula.
• Make another similar layer of the remaining mascarpone and dipped ladyfingers filling.
• Cover the dish; refrigerate it for 4 hours minimum (even better if kept overnight). You must allow the flavours to meld.

4. Garnish and Serve just like written below:

• Dust unsweetened cocoa powder on the top before you serve your dish.
• You may also grate some dark chocolate over the cocoa powder for an extra touch.
• Slice and serve chilled.
