Ingredients
Scale
Cream Mixture
- 3 cups cold heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 16 ounces mascarpone cheese
- 2 (13-ounce) containers Nutella
Assembly
- 48 ladyfingers
- 3 cups cold espresso or strongly brewed coffee
- 2 tablespoons Frangelico
- 2 tablespoons espresso powder (for dusting)
Instructions
- Whip the Cream: In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, or using a large bowl and handheld mixer, beat the cold heavy cream with kosher salt on medium speed until soft peaks form. Avoid whipping to stiff peaks to maintain a light, airy texture.
- Prepare the Nutella-Mascarpone Mixture: In a separate large bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese and Nutella until smooth. Gently fold about one-third of the whipped cream into this mixture to lighten it, then fold the mascarpone mixture back into the remaining whipped cream, combining thoroughly but gently to keep the mixture fluffy.
- Soak the Ladyfingers: In a shallow dish or long container large enough to fit the ladyfingers, mix the cold espresso with Frangelico. Quickly dip each ladyfinger into this coffee mixture for about 1 second — just enough to soak without making them soggy.
- Assemble the Tiramisu: Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in two rows of twelve vertically at the bottom of a 13″ x 9″ pan. Evenly spread half of the Nutella mascarpone cream over the cookies. Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and then the remaining cream mixture.
- Chill the Dessert: Refrigerate the assembled tiramisu for at least 3 hours to allow it to set fully, or ideally overnight for maximum flavor melding and texture.
- Finish and Serve: Just before serving, dust the top generously with espresso powder to enhance the coffee flavor and add a beautiful finish.
Notes
- Use cold ingredients to help the cream whip better and maintain stability.
- If Frangelico is unavailable, substitute with another hazelnut liqueur or omit for a non-alcoholic version.
- Dip ladyfingers quickly to prevent them from becoming too soggy and compromising the tiramisu texture.
- This dessert tastes best after chilling overnight but can be served after 3 hours if short on time.
- Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator and consume within 2-3 days for best freshness.
