World Cuisine Recipe ❘ Tiramisu al Marsala

This famous and classic Italian dessert of savoiardi biscuits dipped in coffee and layered with a mixture of mascarpone cheese and eggs is a little different with the addition of Marsala wine.

Ingredients

• 2 ½ cups brewed espresso coffee, cooled
• 1 ¼ cups Marsala wine
• 4 medium eggs, separated
• ½ cup white sugar, divided
• 14 ounces mascarpone cheese
• 40 Savoiardi biscuits (ladyfingers)
• 3 tablespoons cocoa powder, or more to taste
• 1 tablespoon chocolate shavings, or to taste

Cooking Directions

1. Mix cooled coffee and Marsala wine together in a bowl.
2. Beat egg yolks with half of the sugar in a bowl until you have a clear cream with no lumps. Stir the mascarpone with a wooden spoon or whisk in a separate bowl until creamy; stir into the egg yolks.
3. Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar in a separate bowl using an electric mixer until they form peaks; fold gently into mascarpone mixture.
4. Dip half of the savoiardi biscuits into coffee-Marsala mixture. Arrange dipped biscuits carefully in a glass dish. Cover dipped biscuits with half of the mascarpone mixture. Smooth out mascarpone until evenly distributed; top with half of the cocoa powder. Repeat layering with dipped savoiardi biscuits, mascarpone mixture, and cocoa powder; top with chocolate shavings.
5. Refrigerate tiramisu until flavors blend, at least 3 hours.
