Ingredients

For the Tiramisu Layers:

  • 1 package (7 oz) ladyfingers (savoiardi)
  • ½ cup strong brewed coffee (or espresso)
  • 1 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional, like Kahlúa)

For the Cream Filling:

  • 8 oz mascarpone cheese, softened
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup dulce de leche (store-bought or homemade)
  • ⅓ cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Topping:

  • Unsweetened cocoa powder or grated chocolate
  • 2 tbsp dulce de leche, warmed (for drizzling)

Instructions

Prepare the Coffee Soak

  • In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee and coffee liqueur (if using). Let it cool to room temperature.

2. Make the Cream Filling

  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with powdered sugar, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt until smooth.
  • In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
  • Add in the dulce de leche and mix until smooth and creamy.

3. Assemble the Tiramisu

  • Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee soak (1-2 seconds per side).
  • Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in a 9×9-inch dish.
  • Spread half of the cream mixture evenly over the ladyfingers.
  • Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers.
  • Spread the remaining cream mixture on top.

4. Chill and Serve

  • Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight.
  • Before serving, dust with cocoa powder or grated chocolate.
  • Drizzle warmed dulce de leche on top for extra sweetness.

Notes

  • Make-Ahead Tip: Tastes even better after chilling overnight.
  • Storage: Keep in the fridge for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
