Ingredients

For the Mascarpone Cream:

  • 250 g mascarpone cheese
  • 70 g granulated sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 packet (about 8 g) vanilla sugar

For the Caramel:

  • 300 g caster sugar
  • 30 g salted butter
  • 30 cl (1 1/4 cups) liquid cream (heavy cream)

For Assembly:

  • 10 ladyfingers (sponge fingers)
  • Cocoa powder for garnish
Instructions

Prepare the Ladyfingers:

  1. Grind the ladyfingers into a fine powder using a blender. Set aside.

Make the Caramel:

  1. In a saucepan, heat the caster sugar over medium heat until it turns golden brown, stirring occasionally.
  2. Remove the saucepan from the heat and gradually add the liquid cream, stirring constantly. Be careful, as the mixture may bubble up.
  3. Add the salted butter, cut into small pieces, to the caramel and mix until smooth. Set aside to cool slightly.

Prepare the Mascarpone Cream:

  1. Separate the egg yolks from the whites.
  2. In a bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese with the granulated sugar and vanilla sugar until smooth.
  3. Add the egg yolks to the mascarpone mixture and beat until well combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until well combined.

Assemble the Tiramisu:

  1. In glasses or serving dishes, start with a layer of crushed ladyfingers.
  2. Add a generous amount of salted caramel on top of the ladyfingers.
  3. Spoon a layer of the mascarpone cream over the caramel.
  4. Repeat these steps until all the ingredients are used, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream.

Chill the Tiramisu:

  1. Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 3 hours to allow it to set and the flavors to harmonize.

Serve:

  1. Just before serving, sprinkle a little cocoa powder on top of each glass for the finishing touch.
Tips:
  • Ladyfingers: If you can’t find ladyfingers, you can use sponge cake or pound cake cut into finger-sized pieces.
  • Caramel: Be careful when adding the cream to the hot caramel, as it can bubble up. Stir constantly to prevent lumps.
  • Mascarpone Cheese: If you can’t find mascarpone cheese, you can substitute it with cream cheese for a similar texture and flavor.
