Tiramisu with Master Blend Coffee

Ingredients

• 1 cup strong Master Blend Guatemalan coffee, cooled

• 6 egg yolks

• 3/4 cup granulated sugar

• 1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese, room temperature

• 1 3/4 cups heavy cream

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• 2 packages (7 oz each) ladyfinger cookies

• Unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting

Instructions

1. Prepare the Coffee Mixture: Brew a strong cup of Master Blend coffee and let it cool completely.

2. Cook the Egg Yolks: In a heatproof bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until combined. Place bowl over a pot of simmering water (double boiler). Whisk constantly for 3-5 minutes until mixture reaches 160°F and becomes thick and pale. Remove from heat and cool for 2-3 minutes.

3. Add Mascarpone: Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the cooled egg mixture until smooth.

4. Whip the Cream: In another bowl, whip heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.

5. Combine Mixtures: Carefully fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until just combined.

6. Assemble the Tiramisu: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee for 2-3 seconds. Layer half the dipped ladyfingers in your serving dish. Spread half the mascarpone mixture over them. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.

7. Chill and Serve: Refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight. Before serving, dust generously with cocoa powder.

Serves 8-10.
