Tiramisu

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups heavy cream

• 8 oz mascarpone cheese

• 1/3 cup granulated sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 cups of decaf instant coffee, cold (made at 2-3x usual strength)

• 1.5 oz bourbon (or 3 oz Kahlua)

• 7 oz ladyfinger cookies (Amazon)

• cocoa powder for garnish

Recipe

• Prepare the coffee & let it cool

• With an electric mixer, beat heavy cream until soft peaks, add sugar & vanilla, beat until stiff

• Fold in mascarpone cream

• Find a casserole dish, approx 8x8 or smaller. You might want to test that half your cookies fit fine in a single layer. It’s fine to err slightly small, and leave out a couple cookies if needed.

• Mix coffee & bourbon, and pour into a shallow bowl or plate.

• Briefly dip half the ladyfingers in the coffee mixture, wetting each side only briefly. Then place them in a single layer in the casserole dish.

• Dollop over half the cream mixture over the cookies, then flatten out with a spatula

• Add another layer of cookies, and then add the rest of the cream mixture

• Cover and refrigerate for at least a few hours, upto 2 days

• Dust with cocoa powder before serving

• You won’t need 2 cups of coffee, but I prefer to err on the high side as it makes it easier to dip.
