👩🍳 Instructions
- 1 Whisk the egg yolks and sugar over a bain-marie (a bowl set over hot water) until thick, pale, and doubled in volume
- 2 Remove from the bain-marie and keep whisking until cooled
- 3 Add the mascarpone to the whisked egg yolks and gently mix until smooth
- 4 Whip the egg whites with the salt until stiff peaks form
- 5 Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture using a folding technique
- 6 Combine the espresso and wine in a shallow dish
- 7 Briefly dip the ladyfingers into the espresso — don't let them get soggy, just 2-3 seconds is enough
- 8 Arrange the first layer of ladyfingers on the bottom of the dish
- 9 Pour half of the mascarpone cream over the top and smooth it out
- 10 Arrange a second layer of ladyfingers
- 11 Pour the remaining cream over the top and smooth it out
- 12 Evenly dust dark cocoa powder over the entire surface
- 13 Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight
💡 Tips
• The egg yolks MUST be whisked over a bain-marie until fully thickened for food safety
• Dip the ladyfingers quickly — if they get soggy, your tiramisu will turn out watery
• Tiramisu always tastes best when made a day ahead, so the flavors have time to meld perfectly
