Classic Gordon Tiramisu (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Cream Blend

01 - 67g white sugar
02 - 1 tsp vanilla essence
03 - 355ml heavy cream for whipping
04 - 225g mascarpone, softened

→ Coffee Soak

05 - 3 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional, like Kahlua or DaVinci)
06 - 355ml chilled brewed espresso

→ Putting It Together

07 - Cocoa powder to sprinkle on top
08 - One pack of Lady Fingers

# Instructions:

01 - Whisk the heavy cream in a large bowl using a mixer at medium speed. As you go, pour in the sugar and vanilla. Keep at it until stiff peaks form.
02 - Take the softened mascarpone and slowly fold it into the whipped cream. Stir until smooth and everything blends well. Set aside.
03 - In a shallow dish, stir the chilled espresso together with the optional coffee liqueur.
04 - Quickly dip both sides of each ladyfinger into the coffee mix—don't let them soak through. Lay them single-file across the bottom of an 8×8-inch (20x20cm) dish.
05 - Smooth half of the mascarpone blend over the dipped lady fingers. Add a second layer of soaked lady fingers and spread the remaining cream mixture on top.
06 - Grab a fine sifter and sprinkle cocoa atop the mascarpone in an even layer.
07 - Wrap it up and pop it into the fridge. Leave it to set for at least 3-4 hours, but overnight is even better for the flavor to shine.

# Notes:

01 - This creamy, dreamy Tiramisu inspired by Gordon Ramsay is a dessert perfect for any get-together. Using ingredients like espresso, mascarpone, and lady fingers, it's packed with flavor and simple to make.
02 - Opt for fresh espresso: Brewed fresh and cooled, espresso gives the best depth of flavor.
03 - Be quick with the lady fingers: Don't let them swim in the coffee—just a fast dip keeps the layers intact.
04 - Overnight chilling works wonders: Letting it sit for a longer time makes the flavors meld perfectly.
