Step-by-Step Instructions
To start off, I like to prepare my ingredients beforehand; it makes the process smoother and more enjoyable! First, in a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the heavy cream, mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, and vanilla extract until it forms soft peaks. This luscious mixture will serve as the creamy base for our tiramisu. Set it aside. Next, in another bowl, combine the cooled brewed coffee and coffee liqueur if you’re using it. This is where the magic happens! You’ll dip the ladyfinger cookies into this coffee mixture just briefly, so they don’t get too soggy. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
