Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1½ cups heavy cream
- ¾ cup sugar
- 2¼ cups dulce de leche (This is 1.5 (13.4 ounce) cans)
- 1½ cup mascarpone
- 24 ladyfinger cookies
- ¾ cup hot water
- 3 tablespoons instant espresso
Topping
- dulce de leche syrup
Instructions
- Pour the heavy whipping cream into a large bowl. Whip until it begins forming peaks. Then add the granulated sugar into the heavy whipping cream and whip until stiff peaks form.
- In a separate bowl, combine the dulce de leche and mascarpone until well combined.
- Mix the dulce de leche and mascarpone into the heavy cream until combined and you have a smooth cream.
- Boil water and whisk in the espresso powder. Pour this coffee into a shallow dish. Allow this mixture to cool to room temperature before dipping the lady fingers.
- Dip the lady fingers into the espresso, one side at a time, for one second each side. Drip off any excess coffee. Dipping too long into the coffee will lead to soggy cookies in your tiramisu.
- Lay the espresso dipped lady fingers into an 8x8 pan to form one layer. If needed, break some of the cookies to ensure an even layer.
- Lay half of the dulce de leche cream on top. Repeat by laying another layer of lady fingers and topping with the remaining cream.
- Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours. This time will help the cream set firmer making it easier to slice and serve. Before serving drizzle with some dulce de leche syrup or caramel sauce.
Notes
- Refrigerator Storage: Store tiramisu in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days.
- Make-Ahead Option: Prepare up to 1–2 days in advance for even better flavor as the layers meld.
- Freezing Instructions: Freeze (without the drizzle) tightly wrapped for up to 3 months.
- Thawing Tip: Thaw frozen tiramisu in the refrigerator overnight.
