A rich, elegant gluten-free version of the classic Italian tiramisu featuring espresso-soaked ladyfingers and a silky mascarpone cream that rivals any traditional Roman trattoria recipe.

Ingredients

Scale

79 oz Gluten-Free Ladyfingers
16 oz Mascarpone Cheese
4 Large Eggs
0.5 cup Granulated Sugar
1.5 cups Strong Espresso
3 tbsp Cocoa Powder
1 tsp Vanilla Extract
2 tbsp Dark Rum

Instructions

  1. Separate egg yolks and whites into two medium mixing bowls
  2. Add half of the sugar to the yolks and whisk vigorously until they become pale, thick, and reach the ribbon stage
  3. Gently fold the room-temperature mascarpone and vanilla extract into the yolk mixture until smooth and lump-free
  4. Beat the egg whites with the remaining sugar in the second bowl until stiff peaks form
  5. Carefully fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture using a slow, circular motion to maintain airiness
  6. Combine the cooled espresso and optional rum in a shallow dish
  7. Quickly dip each gluten-free ladyfinger into the coffee for one or two seconds per side
  8. Arrange the dipped ladyfingers in a single layer at the bottom of an 8×8 inch baking dish
  9. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the first layer of ladyfingers
  10. Repeat the process with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers and top with the remaining cream
  11. Dust the top generously with cocoa powder using a fine-mesh sieve
  12. Cover and refrigerate for at least six hours, preferably overnight, to set

Notes

Ensure the espresso is completely cool before dipping to prevent ladyfingers from becoming mushy.

Use room-temperature mascarpone to avoid a grainy texture in the cream.

Do not over-soak ladyfingers; a quick 'in-and-out' dip is all that is needed as gluten-free biscuits are more porous.

For an egg-safe version, cook yolks over a double boiler to 160°F and substitute whites with 1 cup of whipped heavy cream.

Store in the refrigerator for up to four days; the flavor often peaks on day two.

Wipe your knife clean between each cut for the cleanest presentation slices.
