Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Cream

In a mixing bowl, combine ricotta cheese and powdered sugar or sweetener. Use a whisk to achieve a smooth creamy texture. This will be the base of your tiramisu.

Make sure to mix thoroughly so that there are no lumps left, giving your dessert a velvety feel when served.

Step 2

Dip the Ladyfingers

Take the ladyfinger cookies and quickly dip them into the warm espresso, allowing them to soak just for a second. Be careful not to let them soak too long as they can become too soggy.

Once dipped, arrange them in a single layer at the bottom of your serving dish to form the first layer of the tiramisu.

Step 3

Assemble the Dessert

Spread half of your creamy ricotta mixture over the layer of ladyfingers, ensuring it is evenly distributed.

Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top, followed by the remaining ricotta mixture. Smooth the top to create an inviting appearance.

Step 4

Finish with Cocoa

Dust the top layer with unsweetened cocoa powder. This not only adds flavor but also gives your tiramisu its characteristic look.

Refrigerate the dessert for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld together and enhance the overall taste.

Step 5

Serve and Enjoy

After chilling, slice and serve your quick and easy tiramisu. Enjoy this delightful treat with friends or family, or savor it all to yourself!

Remember that this dessert is simple yet delivers rich flavors that everyone will love.

Servings

Imagine serving this 3-Minute Tiramisu as the grand finale to your dinner party! 🍽️ Pair it with fresh berries or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast. You could also drizzle some chocolate sauce over the top for an added touch of elegance. 🌟 For cozy evenings, enjoy it as a simple sweet treat after a casual meal—a cup of coffee or tea elevates the experience further! ☕️ Don't forget to sprinkle some cocoa on top for that perfect finishing touch.
