Tiramisu is one of the most beloved desserts in the world, known for its perfect combination of coffee, chocolate, and mascarpone. This version of tiramisu includes a special element – whipped cream, which makes the cream lighter and more delicious. Whether you enjoy it after a special dinner or simply want to indulge yourself, this dessert is the ideal choice!

Ingredients:

- 300g ladyfingers
- 500g mascarpone
- 5 eggs (separate egg whites from yolks)
- 6 tablespoons sugar
- 400g heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon instant coffee (or cocoa)
- 1 sachet vanilla sugar
- 25ml rum essence
- 1 teaspoon butter
- A pinch of salt

Helpful tip: Make sure all ingredients are at room temperature before you start. This will help achieve a smooth and creamy texture.

Step 1: Preparing the whipped cream

Start by preparing the whipped cream. In a large bowl, add the heavy cream. Whip on low speed for 5-10 minutes, until the cream reaches a firm and airy consistency. It’s important not to overwhip to avoid turning it into butter. Keep the whipped cream refrigerated until use.

Step 2: Aromatic coffee

In a pot, prepare the coffee from one tablespoon of instant coffee and 200ml of hot water. Mix well and let it cool. Once cooled, separate the coffee from the grounds (if applicable) and add the rum essence. This flavor will give a special touch to the dessert.

Step 3: Mascarpone cream

Separate the eggs, keeping the egg whites refrigerated for later whipping. In a bowl, mix the yolks with 3 tablespoons of sugar and a pinch of salt until the mixture becomes light in color and creamy. Add the vanilla sugar and continue mixing until all the sugar is completely dissolved.

Now, add the mascarpone and gently mix until incorporated. Then, add the previously prepared whipped cream and carefully fold it in to maintain the airiness of the cream.

Step 4: Whipping the egg whites

Take the egg whites out of the refrigerator and, using a mixer, beat them with a pinch of salt until foamy. Then, add the remaining sugar and continue mixing until you achieve a firm meringue that holds its shape. This will add a light and airy texture to the tiramisu cream.

Step 5: Combining the ingredients

Add the meringue to the mascarpone cream, gently folding from the bottom up to maintain the airiness. Now you have a delicious cream that will be the star of the dessert!

Step 6: Assembling the tiramisu

Prepare a rectangular dish or a cake pan, greased with butter on the bottom and sides to prevent sticking. Quickly dip the ladyfingers in coffee (2-3 seconds) and arrange them in a single layer on the bottom of the dish. Pour half of the tiramisu cream over the ladyfingers, leveling it with a spatula.

Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers and cover with the remaining cream. Finally, sprinkle a layer of cocoa or decorate with berries, strawberries, or chocolate pieces, depending on your preference.

Step 7: Cooling

Keep the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours before serving. This cooling time allows the flavors to blend perfectly, making the dessert more delicious.

Final tip: Serving

Tiramisu is ideally served with a glass of sweet wine or an espresso coffee. It’s an excellent choice for gatherings with friends or special occasions. It can also be frozen, so feel free to prepare a double batch!
