Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Italian
Serves: 6 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup mascarpone cheese
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup Kahlua
- 1 cup coffee (cooled)
- Ladyfingers for dipping
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, ensure all ingredients are at cool room temperature for optimal blending.
- Carefully measure and sift the powdered sugar to remove any potential lumps, which could affect the smooth texture of the dip.
- In a clean, chilled mixing bowl, whip the heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. This typically takes about 3-4 minutes on medium-high speed.
- In a separate bowl, gently fold the mascarpone cheese until it becomes smooth and creamy, using a silicone spatula to prevent overmixing.
- Gradually add the powdered sugar to the mascarpone, mixing carefully to create a uniform, sweet base.
- Slowly incorporate the Kahlua into the mascarpone mixture, stirring gently to ensure even distribution of the liqueur.
- Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture using a gentle, cutting motion to maintain the cream's airiness and prevent deflation.
- Prepare the cooled coffee in a separate shallow dish for dipping the ladyfingers.
- Transfer the tiramisu dip to a serving bowl, covering and refrigerating for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and dip to set.
- Before serving, dust the top lightly with cocoa powder for an authentic tiramisu presentation.
- Serve chilled with ladyfingers, allowing guests to dip and enjoy the creamy, coffee-infused dessert.
Tips
- Temperature Matters: Ensure all ingredients are at cool room temperature for smooth blending and optimal texture.
- Whip with Precision: When whipping cream, use a chilled bowl and stop exactly when stiff peaks form to prevent over-beating.
- Fold, Don't Stir: Use a gentle folding technique when incorporating whipped cream to maintain its light, airy texture.
- Chill for Flavor: Always refrigerate the dip for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld and develop.
- Presentation is Key: Dust with cocoa powder just before serving for an authentic, Instagram-worthy finish.
- Serving Suggestion: Use fresh, high-quality ladyfingers for the best dipping experience.
- Make Ahead: This dip can be prepared up to 24 hours in advance, making it perfect for stress-free entertaining.
