How to Make the First Layer of Tiramisu

Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert made of Ladyfingers soaked in espresso and coffee flavored liqueur layered with sweetened Mascarpone cheese. There are usually two to three layers in Tiramisu, but the number of layers you have is completely up to you. Here is how to begin this delicious dessert and make the first layer of Tiramisu.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Sweetened Mascarpone cheese mixture
• Rubber spatula
• Ladyfingers soaked in espresso and coffee liqueur

1. Layer your Ladyfingers in the dish. After the Ladyfingers are soaked in espresso and coffee flavored liqueur, place them in flat layers in the bottom of your dish.

2. Pour on the sweetened Mascarpone cheese mixture. Hold the bowl of sweetened Mascarpone cheese and using a rubber spatula, scoop the mixture on to the layer of ladyfingers.

3. Smooth out the sweetened Mascarpone cheese mixture. Using a rubber spatula again, gently spread the layer of sweetened Mascarpone cheese mixture until it covers all of the Ladyfingers.

4. Check to make sure the layers are relatively even. Before moving on to the next layer, you need to make sure the first layer of the sweetened Mascarpone cheese is relatively even, so the additional layers aren't uneven and lopsided.

Tips & Warnings

• Always keep an eye on the amount of sweetened Mascarpone cheese mixture. You will need the mixture for the other layers, so you need to make sure you'll have enough to cover the remaining layers.
• Always spread the sweetened Mascarpone cheese mixture gently. If you spread the mixture too roughly, you'll end up tearing apart the delicate Ladyfingers.
