SERVINGS:6

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 eggs (room temperature)
• 2 tablespoons sugar
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese (softened to room temperature)
• 4 cups cold coffee
• 7 ounces (about 24) ladyfinger cookies (savoiardi)
• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

METHOD:

Preparation tips.

• Bring the mascarpone to room temperature about 30 minutes before starting.
• Make sure the eggs are at room temperature to facilitate whipping and achieve a creamier texture.

Step-by-step instructions

Prepare the coffee and ladyfingers:

• Prepare and chill 4 cups of coffee.
• Lightly dip the ladyfingers into the coffee, making sure they are soaked but not soggy.

Prepare the mascarpone cream:

• Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two bowls.
• With an electric whisk, beat the egg yolks with the sugar until light and creamy. Add the mascarpone and continue beating until smooth.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff. Gently incorporate the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture to create a light and airy cream.

Assemble the tiramisu in glasses:

• Choose flat-bottomed glasses or dessert cups for assembly.
• Arrange a layer of cut ladyfingers on the bottom of each glass.
• Add a layer of mascarpone cream, smoothing it with a spoon.
• Repeat the layers if the size of the glass allows, ending with a layer of mascarpone.

Finish with cocoa powder:

• Sift cocoa powder evenly over the top layer of each tiramisu.

Cool before serving:

• Refrigerate the assembled glasses for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld.

Tips for a perfect tiramisu in a glass

• Coffee alternatives: Use decaffeinated coffee or add a splash of coffee liqueur for added depth.
• Serving suggestion: Garnish with a coffee bean, chocolate chips or a sprig of mint for an elegant touch.
• Eggless option: Replace the egg mixture with whipped cream for a lighter version.
