STANLEY TUCCI’S TIRAMISÙ ☕🍫
If you love creamy coffee desserts, you need to try this gorgeous Stanley Tucci-inspired tiramisù. It’s rich, light, chocolatey and even better made the day before — perfect for dinner parties or a weekend treat!
Ingredients:
300ml strong espresso or coffee, cooled
3 tbsp coffee liqueur, Marsala or dark rum (optional)
4 egg yolks
100g caster sugar
500g full-fat mascarpone
300ml double cream
1 tsp vanilla extract
24 sponge fingers
Cocoa powder, to finish
Grated dark chocolate, optional
Method:
1. Make your coffee and leave it to cool. Stir in the liqueur if using.
2. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar for 3–4 minutes, until pale, thick and creamy.
3. Beat in the mascarpone until smooth.
4. Whip the double cream with the vanilla until softly thickened, then gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
5. Quickly dip each sponge finger into the coffee — don’t let them soak or they’ll become soggy.
6. Arrange a layer of dipped sponge fingers in your serving dish.
7. Spoon over half the mascarpone cream.
8. Repeat with another layer of sponge fingers, then finish with the remaining cream.
9. Cover and chill for at least 4 hours, but overnight is even better.
10. Just before serving, dust generously with cocoa and add a little grated dark chocolate if you fancy.
This recipe is inspired by Livia’s Tiramisù, shared in connection with *The Tucci Cookbook*, written by Stanley Tucci and Gianni Scappin. Livia is Gianni Scappin’s sister. [1]
Save this one for your next dinner party! Would you add the splash of liqueur, or keep it alcohol-free? 🤎
