How to Make 10-Minute Easy Tiramisu
Making this tiramisu is quick and straightforward. Just follow these easy steps to enjoy a delicious dessert without the fuss.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups (360ml) heavy whipping cream, cold
- 2/3 cup (65g) powdered sugar or 1/3 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp (5ml) vanilla extract
- 1 package (8oz) mascarpone, at room temperature
- 1 cup (237ml) strongly brewed coffee (or espresso)
- 1/2 package ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
- 2 tbsp (15g) unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting
Directions
In a large mixing bowl, add the whipping cream and beat on medium for about 1 minute. Sift in the powdered sugar, add the vanilla, and mix together until soft peaks form. Then, mix in the mascarpone cheese and continue to whip until stiff peaks form.
Pour the coffee or espresso into a shallow bowl. Quickly dip the ladyfingers in the coffee and arrange them in a single layer in the bottom of an 8×8 pan. Be careful to lightly dip the ladyfingers so that they don’t fall apart.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, then add another layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers on top. Spread or pipe the remaining mascarpone cream over the top to finish.
Refrigerate for at least 3-4 hours, or overnight. Once the tiramisu is set, dust a generous amount of cocoa powder over the top using a fine mesh strainer. Slice and enjoy!
How to Serve 10-Minute Easy Tiramisu
You can serve this tiramisu straight from the fridge to ensure it stays cool and creamy. Use a sharp knife to cut it into squares. For a fun presentation, top each slice with a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a few chocolate shavings.
How to Store 10-Minute Easy Tiramisu
Store any leftovers in the refrigerator. Cover the pan with plastic wrap to keep it fresh. Tiramisu is best enjoyed within 3-4 days, but it may last up to a week.
Tips to Make 10-Minute Easy Tiramisu
- Make sure your heavy whipping cream is very cold for the best whipping results.
- Use freshly brewed coffee or espresso for a richer flavor.
- Feel free to adjust the sweetness by adding more or less sugar in the mascarpone mixture.
Variation
Try adding a splash of coffee liqueur to the coffee for an added kick. You can also experiment with different flavors by adding chocolate chips or using different flavored extracts!
FAQs
1. Can I make tiramisu a day in advance?
Yes, it’s actually better to make it a day ahead. This allows the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
2. Can I substitute the mascarpone cheese?
If you cannot find mascarpone, cream cheese mixed with a bit of sour cream can work as a substitute, though it may change the flavor and texture slightly.
3. Can I use a different type of cookie?
Ladyfingers are traditional, but you can use any sponge cake or even pound cake if you prefer. Just make sure to soak them in coffee!
