Tiramisu – The Easy Way

1 cup cold whipping cream

1/2 cup powdered sugar

1 tsp. vanilla extract

8 ounces Mascarpone cheese

1 1/2 cups espresso or very strong coffee, cooled

1/3 cup Amaretto

1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (or shaved chocolate)

20 ladyfingers

1 tsp. ground cinnamon

1 Tbsp. cocoa powder

In a bowl in a stand mixer, whisk together whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until stiff peaks form. Reduce speed to low and mix in mascarpone just until blended. Take care not to overbeat since this will cause the cream to start to separate.

In a small bowl, combine espresso and amaretto. Dip ladyfingers, one at a time, in espresso mixture for 1 second, then allow to drain for 2 seconds and place in a single layer in the bottom of a loaf pan. With a rubber spatula, spread 1/3 of the cream mixture evenly over ladyfingers. Sprinkle with 1/2 cup chocolate. Repeat layers 2 more times until all cream and chocolate is used. Sprinkle with cinnamon and refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing and plating.
