Ingredients

4 egg yolks
1/2 cup of sugar, divided
1 cup of heavy cream
8 oz of mascarpone
2 cups espresso or very strong coffee, cooled
2-3 tb Granor Vermouth (adjust to taste)
1 tb cocoa powder, plus more for dusting
24 ladyfingers

Method

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk egg yolks with 1/4 cup of sugar until very pale yellow and doubled in volume.
  2. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream and remaining 1/4 cup of sugar until soft peaks form. Add the mascarpone and continue to whip until fully combined and medium peaks form.
  3. Gently fold the whipped mascarpone mixture into the whipped egg yolks until smooth and fully incorporated. Set aside.
  4. In a small bowl, combine cooled espresso and vermouth.
  5. Sift 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder into the bottom of your baking dish.
  6. Assemble tiramisu.  Working one at a time, briefly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture and arrange them in a single layer in the baking dish.
    Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
    Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  7. Dust the top with additional cocoa powder. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours (overnight is best) to allow it to set.
