Tiramisu Budget Version
Ingredients
- 3 eggs, separated
- 50 g granulated sugar
- 250 g mascarpone cheese
- 300 ml coffee, brewed, cooled
- 1 package ladyfingers, enough for two layers
- as needed cocoa powder, for dusting
Instructions
- 1
Carefully separate the yolks from the whites of the 3 eggs. Place the egg yolks in one medium-sized bowl and the egg whites in a separate, clean, and dry bowl.
⏱️ 2 min

Using a whisk or electric mixer, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks and are fluffy. Be careful not to overbeat.

Add the 50 grams of granulated sugar to the egg yolks. Whisk this mixture vigorously until it becomes pale yellow and creamy in consistency.
⏱️ 3 min
- 4
Incorporate the 250 grams of mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk and sugar mixture. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is smooth and well combined, with no lumps of mascarpone remaining.
⏱️ 3 min
- 5
Gently fold the whisked egg whites into the mascarpone-yolk mixture. Use a spatula and a light hand, being careful not to deflate the egg whites, as this preserves the airy texture of the cream.
⏱️ 3 min

Pour the 300 milliliters of cooled, brewed coffee into a shallow dish or bowl, wide enough to easily dip the ladyfingers.
⏱️ 1 min
- 7
To assemble the Tiramisu, quickly dip ladyfingers one by one into the coffee. Do not over-soak them, as they can become soggy and break apart. Arrange a single layer of the coffee-dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of your chosen serving dish (approximately 20x20 cm or similar).
⏱️ 5 min
- 8
Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture evenly over the first layer of ladyfingers. Repeat the process with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, arranging them on top of the cream.
⏱️ 2 min
- 9
Spread the remaining mascarpone cream over the second layer of ladyfingers, ensuring the top is smooth and evenly covered.
⏱️ 1 min
- 10
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for several hours, or preferably overnight (minimum 4 hours), to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set properly.
