Ingredients needed 🛒4 servings

  • digestive crackers 1 pack
  • mascarpone cheese 250g
  • instant coffee (Café au Lait) 4 packs
  • sugar 10 tablespoons
  • condensed milk 3~4 tablespoons
  • cocoa powder a little
  • walnut powder a little (optional)
  • water a little

Recipe 🍳

  1. In a saucepan, melt sugar 10 tablespoons over low heat, then add instant coffee 4 packs and a small amount of water to create a thick and strong coffee syrup.
  2. Place digestive crackers in a ziplock bag and crush them lightly with a rolling pin, leaving a slight chewiness.
  3. In a bowl, mix mascarpone cheese 250g with condensed milk to taste, stirring thoroughly with a spatula until creamy.
  4. Spread a thin, even layer of cheese cream on the bottom of a transparent dessert container or dish.
  5. Top with crushed digestive crackers and walnut powder, then evenly pour the prepared coffee syrup to moisten thoroughly.
  6. Alternate layers of cheese cream and syrup-soaked crackers, stacking them one after another, then smooth the top surface with cheese cream.
  7. Sift cocoa powder through a fine sieve and evenly dust it over the cream surface without gaps.
  8. Refrigerate the finished tiramisu for at least 2 hours to chill and allow the cream and crackers to set firmly; then serve chilled.
  1. Boil sugar and instant coffee together to make a strong coffee syrup.
  2. Crush the digestive biscuits and mix mascarpone cheese with condensed milk to form a smooth cream.
  3. Layer cream, biscuits, and coffee syrup in a container, then dust with cocoa powder and refrigerate for 2 hours.

Cooking tips 💡

  • When making the sugar syrup, be careful not to burn it—adjust the heat carefully, and add coffee only after the sugar has fully dissolved for maximum flavor.
  • When mixing the cheese cream, avoid overusing an electric mixer (whisk), as it can cause excessive air and reduce density; a rubber spatula helps maintain a thick, chewy texture.
  • Digestive biscuits should absorb the coffee syrup thoroughly to achieve the soft, caramel-like authentic tiramisu texture.
