Print Recipe

Delightfully creamy and coffee-infused, these Tiramisu Bars transform the classic Italian dessert into an easy-to-serve treat perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup strong brewed espresso, cooled
  • 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur (optional)
  • 16 ladyfinger cookies
  • 8 ounces mascarpone cheese
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 2 large eggs, separated
  • 2 tablespoons cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. In a shallow dish, combine espresso and coffee liqueur (if using). Quickly dip ladyfinger cookies into the mixture, ensuring they soak briefly but remain firm. Arrange them evenly in the bottom of an 8×8-inch baking pan.
  2. In a mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy.
  3. Add mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract to the egg yolk mixture and blend until smooth.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture.
  5. In another clean bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold the egg whites into the mascarpone and cream mixture for a light texture.
  6. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture evenly over the ladyfingers in the pan.
  7. Add another layer of dipped ladyfingers on top, then spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the second layer.
  8. Cover the pan and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight, allowing the flavors to meld and bars to set.
  9. Before serving, dust the top generously with cocoa powder. Cut into bars and serve chilled.

Notes

For a boozy kick, sprinkle additional coffee liqueur between layers or substitute heavy cream with light whipped topping for a lighter version.
