Total Time: 12 hours and 20 minutes
Servings: 16
Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 5 | Eggs |
| 1 | cup Sugar |
| 3 | tablespoons Brandy |
| 1 | pound Mascarpone |
| 2 | tablespoons Cocoa Powder |
| 1 | package Ladyfingers (approx. 14 oz) |
Instructions:
-
Begin by separating the eggs, placing the yolks in a large mixing bowl and setting aside the whites.
-
To the egg yolks, add the sugar and 1 tablespoon of brandy. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat the mixture until the sugar dissolves and the mixture becomes creamy and smooth.
-
Once the egg yolk mixture is smooth, gradually add in the mascarpone cheese, continuing to beat until well combined and creamy.
-
In a separate clean mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until evenly incorporated, creating a light and fluffy texture.
-
In another bowl, combine the espresso coffee with the remaining 2 tablespoons of brandy, creating a flavorful soaking liquid for the ladyfingers.
-
In a 9 x 13 inch glass baking dish, spread a layer of one-third of the mascarpone mixture, ensuring an even distribution across the bottom of the dish.
-
Lightly dust the mascarpone layer with cocoa powder, adding a hint of rich chocolate flavor.
-
Dip each ladyfinger into the espresso and brandy mixture, ensuring they are soaked but not overly saturated, and arrange them in a single layer over the mascarpone mixture in the baking dish.
-
Repeat the layering process by spreading another one-third of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, followed by another layer of soaked ladyfingers.
-
Finish the tiramisu by spreading the remaining one-third of the mascarpone mixture over the top layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
-
Sprinkle the remaining cocoa powder over the top of the tiramisu, adding a final touch of decadence and flavor.
-
Cover the baking dish with plastic wrap, ensuring it is tightly sealed, and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 12 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set perfectly.
-
Once chilled and set, serve the Tiramisu – Sette Mezzo in generous portions, savoring each creamy bite of this irresistible dessert.
