Instructions
Step 1
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture is well-combined. Place this bowl over a pot of simmering water, creating a double boiler. Continue whisking until the sugar is completely dissolved and the mixture reaches a temperature of about 86°C (187°F).
Once heated, remove from heat and continue whisking until the mixture is light and fluffy, achieving a pale color.
Step 2
In a separate bowl, combine the cold mascarpone cheese and cold heavy cream. Using an electric mixer, whip the mixture until it forms stiff peaks.
Be careful not to overwhip, as you want a smooth and creamy consistency that is easy to fold into the yolk mixture.
Step 3
Gently fold the whipped mascarpone and cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Use a spatula to incorporate the two without deflating the cream. The result should be a light and airy cream.
Step 4
Gather your jars or serving glasses and prepare them for assembly. Pour the strong coffee into a shallow dish.
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee, ensuring they soak slightly but do not become too soggy. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of each jar.
Step 5
Once you've arranged the ladyfingers, layer half of the cream mixture on top of them. Repeat the process by adding another layer of soaked ladyfingers followed by the remaining cream.
Cover the jars and refrigerate for a minimum of 4 hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 6
Before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder for a decorative touch. Enjoy this delightful dessert straight from the jar, savoring the rich flavors!
Servings
For a truly delightful experience, serve your Tiramisu in a cozy setting. These little jars make for perfect dining table centerpieces! 🥂 During a picnic or a casual get-together, bring these elegant jars along for an instant dessert station.
Consider pairing the Tiramisu with a shot of espresso for that authentic Italian experience. ☕️ You can even sprinkle some chocolate shavings or coffee beans on top for an extra touch of flair. 🎉
Feeling adventurous? Why not use assorted jars for different flavor combinations? You could even label them for guests to choose their favorite. This adds an interactive twist to dessert time. 🏷️
Equipment
Having a set of varying sizes helps in efficiently combining your ingredients without spillovers. Preferably use glass for easy monitoring while mixing.
A whisk is great for smaller batches, but an electric mixer will save you time and effort, especially when whipping cream for that perfect fluffiness!
Accurate measurements are crucial to achieving the desired taste and texture. Invest in clear, easy-to-read measuring tools.

Faq
- What if I don't have savoiardi cookies?
You can easily substitute them with ladyfinger cookies or even a homemade sponge cake that can be cut into strips!
- How do I know if the mascarpone is mixed properly?
The mascarpone should be light and fluffy once mixed with the cream. Look for a smooth consistency without lumps.
- Can I make this recipe ahead of time?
Absolutely! In fact, letting it sit in the fridge for at least 4 hours allows the flavors to meld beautifully.
- What type of coffee should I use for the soaking?
Opt for a rich, strong brew like espresso for that classic coffee flavor. The stronger the coffee, the more pronounced the flavor!
- What is the best way to store leftovers?
Store any leftover Tiramisu in an airtight container in the fridge. It’s best enjoyed within 3 days!
- Can I use flavored coffee instead?
Sure! A mocha or caramel coffee can add a unique twist to your Tiramisu, making it even more enticing!
