Homemade Tiramisu Recipe and A Coffee Love Story

I know, I talk a LOT about my love of coffee. I’ll get to the Tiramisu Recipe, but let me explain…  I can’t help it. I think it all started when I was a little girl. My grandpa used to drink coffee after dinner with whatever sweet treat he had for dessert. I would beg for my own cup, he would pretend to put up a good fight for ‘No, you’re too young”. I kept begging. And, then he would inevitably grab a mug for me, fill in mostly with milk and top it off with coffee. It may have started off with just remembering good times with grandpa but it’s blossomed into a full on steamy love affair. (see what I did there?) Being a Work-at-Home-Mom, it’s also kind of a necessity, really. Ok fine. Let’s call it what it is… I’m a Coffee-holic.

This is how my day starts. Yep, with coffee. I grab my cup and chit-chat with Ethan while he eats breakfast before school. Until I’m 2 cups in, I really don’t understand much of what he says, but that’s totally besides the point. We’re making memories, keeping my coffee love story alive.

I have 2 blogs, my Freelance writing, the Social Media gigs, crafts to make, recipes to whip up (Tiramisu recipe up next!) Ethan’s school activities and homework… maybe throw a load of laundry in… Man, I’m exhausted just writing it. And let’s not forget to make time for the hubby! Which is exactly what I did this weekend. Ethan was at his grandparents for the night. Awhile back, I stumbled into the Best Tiramisu Recipe ever from an awesome sauce Chef I adore, Chef Dennis. But, I needed more coffee and some Lady Fingers. I don’t keep many Lady fingers in the house, go figure. Do you?? Do many people? Am I missing out on some lady finger love? (that didn’t sound like I intended but…) And, I’m not sure what the difference between actual Lady Fingers and shortbread is, so I grabbed the shortbread. Is there one other than shape?
And then, this happened.

Homemade Tiramisu Recipe – Ingredients:

  • 6 Egg Yolks
  • 1 Cup Sugar
  • 1 1/4 Cup Mascarpone Cheese
  • 1 3/4 Cup Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 (12 oz) Packs Lady Fingers (or, in our case, shortbread cookies)
  • 1/2 Cup Strong Coffee
  • 1/4 Cup Coffee Liqueur (Chef Dennis says it’s optional, I say it’s totally necessary)
  • Cocoa For Light Dusting

Homemade Tiramisu Recipe – Directions:

Start by brewing that strong coffee. Pour it in a shallow, flat bottom bowl. Add coffee liqueur (or not) and set aside to cool. While that’s cooling, separate egg yolks and whites. I saved the whites and made an omelet the next morning for Ethan’s breakfast. Combine egg yolks and sugar in a double boiler. Once water is boiling, reduce heat to low and cook for about 8- 10 minutes. You have to stir constantly or you’ll end up with sugary scrambled eggs. Blech. Remove from heat and pour in medium mixing bowl. Add the Mascarpone and mix until it’s really good and creamy. (I totally licked the beaters BTW) In a second medium sized bowl, mix the heavy cream until you get stiff peaks. Gently, fold beaten egg and Mascarpone mixture into the stiff peaks. Don’t over blend or peaks will go flat. Now all that’s left for our  Tiramisu recipe is layering. Grab an 8in square baking dish. 1 by 1 dip shortbread (or, fancy lady fingers) into your coffee/liquor mixture, just enough to get them wet. Now, if you’re like me, you’re going to want them to soak up all that coffee/liquor-y goodness. Resist that urge. They will become a goopy mess. Cover the bottom of pan with a layer of soaked cookies. Spoon half the Mascarpone mix on top and repeat. You’ll end up with 2 perfect layers of each.  Cover and place in ‘fridge for a few hours.

We popped in a movie after a nice quiet dinner and enjoyed this awesome sweet treat for dessert! It goes great with the left-over coffee/liquor mix warmed up!  And, that’s my Coffee Love Story! It’s a day long affair….

    What a cute story, I have a serious life long addiction…. err love of coffee too! There is just something about it.. it has the capabilities to do so much more than just wake you up in the morning.. it can be a conversation starter…. or even smooth over arguments. It’s magical 😉

    Thanks for the recipe, I love Tiramisu!

    I actually love tiramisu but don’t love the coffee flavor….but I’m wondering if I could make this without the coffee…I know that probably sounds sacreligious! lol

    I have never made Tiramisu but this looks so good it makes me want to try and make it. I don’t know what Coffee Liqueur is because I have not used it before.

    I often order tiramisu when out at Italian restaurants, but I’ve never tried making it at home because it seemed kind of complicated. You make it seem do-able so I may just have to give this treat a try!

    What a great way to stay in and connect with the hubby. This dessert looks delicious! I’ve never made Tiramasu but definitely want to try. I also need a Keurig, I may be one of the few left without one! Thanks for sharing! #client

    This recipe could be reinvented, but then it wouldn’t be tiramisu. For those who do not care for the flavor of coffee, try the Torani flavored syrups found in the coffee section at your Smart and Final Warehouse Store.
    There are even Sugar free selections of Torani, but with 1 cup of sugar and 6 eggs yolks, why bother, or, why not cut a few calories.
    My favorite is Almond Roca and I’m confident that will be my favorite. My wife is a die hard hazlenur afectianodo so I will be using strong coffee and hazlenut syrup for my first tiramisu recipe. ( I cannot tolerate caffene so I use decaf coffee.)
    There are so many flavors available that I can’t remember them all . The red flavors might be festive if the egg, sugar, cheese, and cream mixture were tinted green to reflect the holidays. (Pumkin, tinted orange for Thanksgiving.)
    This recipe is a must, and It’s simple.

    I really didn’t realize that making Tiramisu was so easy! Thanks for sharing that recipe, I totally want to try it now.

    It’s remarkable to pay a quick visit this web site and reading the views of all colleagues regarding this paragraph,
    while I am also eager of getting know-how.

    There’s a huge range to choose from; in a variety of colours, styles and
    fabrics. Polar bears in the Canadian Hudson Bay area have lost weight and are losing
    their fitness due to the ice breaking up two weeks earlier than usual in the spring months.

    For something rather more unusual you might check out a pup sofa bed.

    I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I come across a blog that’s both educative and entertaining,
    and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the
    head. The problem is something too few men and women are speaking
    intelligently about. Now i’m very happy that I found this during my search for something concerning this.
