Before you begin
This classic tiramisu uses a small amount of coffee liqueur and a final dusting of cocoa. If using ready-made mascarpone, begin with 225 g and skip the draining step. Keep the espresso cold so it does not melt the cream.
Method 做法
Make the mascarpone
Heat the 400 ml cream gently to about 85°C (185°F), stirring so it does not catch. Add lemon juice and continue stirring around that temperature as the cream thickens. Cool, then transfer to a clean cloth-lined strainer over a bowl. Cover, lightly weight and refrigerate until thick and spreadable. Weigh 225 g for the filling.

Whip the coffee cream filling
Whisk pasteurised yolks and sugar over a gentle water bath until pale and thick; the video brings the mixture to about 60°C (140°F). Remove from the heat and cool. Smooth the mascarpone and fold in the yolk mixture. Whip the 80 ml cream until it holds soft peaks, then fold it in.

Dip and assemble
Combine the cold espresso and coffee liqueur. Dip the ladyfingers briefly so they absorb coffee without falling apart. Make a layer of biscuits, then add mascarpone filling. Repeat to fit your dish or assemble the individual stacks shown in the video.

Chill and finish
Refrigerate until the layers hold together when served. Dust the top with cocoa just before bringing it to the table.
