Ingredients
  • 3 large eggs , separated and at room temperature
  • ½ cup (4 oz/115 g) granulated sugar
  • 2 cups (16 oz/450 g) Homemade Mascarpone Cheese
  • 1 cup (8 fl oz/240 ml) very strong coffee
  •  cup (2 ½ fl oz/75 ml) brandy
  • 2 batches Homemade Ladyfingers (about 60-80 cookies)
  • ¼ cup (1 oz/28 g) unsweetened cocoa powder
Instructions
The Day Before 
  1. Make and hang the Homemade Mascarpone following the recipes directions. 

  2. Make the Homemade Ladyfingers following the recipe directions. Once cooled then can be stored in a container until needed. 

The Next Day 
  1. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment (or with a bowl and a handheld electric mixer) whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until the mixture is pale and forms a ribbon when the whisk is lifted, about 5-7 minutes. Briefly mix in the mascarpone cheese until blended. Set aside.

  2. Using the stand mixer again, whip the egg whites on medium-high speed for about 3 minutes, or until they form stiff peaks.
  3. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until completely mixed, then set aside.
  4. In a wide, shallow bowl combine the coffee and brandy.
  5. Quickly dip one ladyfingers at a time on both sides in the coffee mixture and line the bottom of a 9x13-inch (23x33cm) baking dish with them.

  6. Spread ⅓ of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the cookies.
  7. Repeat dipping and layering ladyfingers and spreading the mascarpone mixture twice more to create a total of three layers.
  8. Cover and let the Tiramisu set in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (but no more than 24 hours).
  9. Just before serving, dust generously with the cocoa
