Classic Homemade Tiramisu

👨‍🍳 Method

For the Cream Filling

1. 1
   Beat the yolks with the sugar until pale and airy.

   WhiskorHand mixer
2. 2
   Add the mascarpone and the vanilla extract and mix gently.

   💡Mix the mascarpone gently and don't whip it: hard mixing separates the fat and the cream turns grainy and runny.
3. 3
   Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Fold them gently into the mixture.

   💡Whip egg whites in a clean, dry bowl, without a drop of yolk.

To assemble

1. 4
   Dip the biscuits in the coffee for a second and arrange a layer in the dish.

   💡Dip for just a second: the biscuit keeps soaking up moisture from the cream in the fridge, and an over-soaked biscuit falls apart into mush.
2. 5
   Spread half of the mascarpone cream on top.
3. 6
   Repeat with another layer of biscuits and cream.
4. 7
   Cover and chill in the fridge 4 hours, and dust the cocoa on top just before serving.
