Total Time: 4 hours 20 minutes (including chilling time)

Servings: 8

Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients

• 1 cup brewed coffee, cooled
• 2 tablespoons maple syrup (for coffee)
• 3 large egg yolks
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup mascarpone cheese
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 24 ladyfinger biscuits (savoiardi)
• 1/4 cup maple syrup (for mascarpone mixture)
• Unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
• Extra maple syrup, for drizzling

Instructions

1. In a shallow dish, combine the brewed coffee with 2 tablespoons of maple syrup and set aside to cool completely.
2. In a medium bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and brown sugar until thick and pale.
3. Gently fold in the mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form, then fold into the mascarpone mixture.
5. Fold in the remaining 1/4 cup maple syrup into the mascarpone mixture until well incorporated.
6. Quickly dip each ladyfinger biscuit into the coffee mixture, ensuring they are moistened but not soggy.
7. Arrange a layer of the moistened ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×13-inch dish.
8. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and smooth the top.
9. Repeat with another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
10. Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours or overnight to set.
11. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and drizzle with extra maple syrup.

Helpful Tips

• For an extra kick, add a teaspoon of coffee liqueur to the coffee mixture. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, a teaspoon of vanilla extract works wonderfully too.
• If you can’t find ladyfinger biscuits, use a sponge cake or pound cake cut into strips. They will absorb the coffee beautifully.

Storage Instructions

Store the tiramisu covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. This dessert does not freeze well as the texture can change significantly.

Ingredient Substitutions

Substitute brown sugar with white granulated sugar or coconut sugar for a different flavor profile. Cream cheese can be used in place of mascarpone, though the texture will be slightly more dense.

Complementary Dishes and Drinks

Pair the Maple Coffee Tiramisu with a steaming cup of coffee or a warm chai tea for an indulgent treat. For a savory contrast, serve alongside a light garden salad with a tangy vinaigrette before enjoying this delectable dessert.
