Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert known for its layers of espresso-soaked ladyfingers and a creamy mixture of mascarpone cheese, eggs, and sugar. It is typically topped with a dusting of cocoa powder.
Combine egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl. Beat until thick and creamy.
Mix in mascarpone cheese until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
Dip ladyfingers into espresso and line them on the bottom of a serving dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
Add another layer of espresso-dipped ladyfingers.
Top with the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight.
Before serving, dust with cocoa powder.
