Ingredients

  • 250 g mascarpone

  • 4 eggs
  • 100 ml freshly brewed espresso (cooled)

Tiramisu with Aperol

    Instructions

    Prepare the cream mixture: In a large mixing bowl, beat the mascarpone, heavy cream and granulated sugar together until the mixture is creamy and slightly thickened, about 3-4 minutes.

    Separate the eggs: Carefully separate the egg yolks from the whites. In another bowl, beat the yolks until pale and creamy, about 2-3 minutes.

    Combine the mixtures: Gently fold the beaten egg yolks into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.

    Whip the egg whites: In a separate clean bowl, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form, about 3-4 minutes. Carefully fold the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture, ensuring the mixture remains airy.

    Prepare the soaked ladyfingers: Combine the cooled espresso and Aperol in a shallow dish. Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the mixture, making sure they are soaked but not soggy.

    Assemble a layer of tiramisu: Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers on the bottom of a rectangular serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and finish with the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.

    Chill the dessert: Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.

    To serve: Dust the top with cocoa powder just before serving and garnish with orange slices or zest for an extra touch of color and citrus flavor.

Tips or substitutions

  • Low-sugar version: Replace granulated sugar with a low-calorie sweetener and adjust the amount based on the product's conversion chart.
  • Low-sodium variant: If you're concerned about sodium, make sure none of the ingredients contain added salt, particularly the ladyfingers or cocoa powder.
  • Vegan adjustment: Use a plant-based mascarpone or blended silken tofu, and replace the eggs with aquafaba (whipped chickpea water) for the airy texture!
