Ingredients

Pastry

  • 250g (1 cup) butter
  • 150g (3/4 cup) sugar
  • 1 egg
  • Vanilla extract, 1 tsp
  • 400g (3 1/4 cups) all-purpose flour
  • 60g (1/2 cup) cocoa powder
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla sugar

Syrup

  • 120g (1/2 cup) sugar
  • 40ml (1/4 cup) water

Cream

  • 4 egg yolks
  • 500g (2 1/4 cups) mascarpone cheese
  • A few drops of coffee extract or strong coffee

Assembly

  • Ladyfingers, quantity as needed to cover the tart
  • Coffee, freshly brewed, enough for dipping ladyfingers
  • Cocoa powder, for dusting

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Pastry: In a bowl, beat together the butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla extract until well combined. Sift in the all-purpose flour, cocoa powder, and vanilla sugar, then mix gently with a spatula until incorporated. Knead the dough gently until smooth forms. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 90 minutes to firm up.
  2. Roll and Bake the Crust: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the dough to fit a 26 cm tart pan. Transfer the dough into the pan, pressing evenly into the sides and trimming any excess. Use a fork to prick the base all over to prevent bubbling. Bake in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) for 15 minutes until set and firm. Remove and let cool completely.
  3. Prepare the Syrup: In a small saucepan, combine the water and 120g sugar. Heat the mixture and bring it to a temperature of 250°F (121°C) to create a sugar syrup. Remove from heat and allow to cool slightly.
  4. Make the Cream: Begin whisking the egg yolks in a mixing bowl, then slowly drizzle in the warm sugar syrup while continuously whisking to incorporate and slightly thicken the yolks. Once combined and smooth, fold in the mascarpone cheese along with a few drops of coffee extract or strong coffee to infuse flavor, mixing until creamy and uniform.
  5. Assemble the Pie: Briefly dip each ladyfinger into the freshly brewed coffee to soak lightly but not become soggy. Arrange the soaked ladyfingers evenly over the baked tart crust. Spread half of the mascarpone cream evenly over the ladyfingers. Optionally repeat layering if desired. Finish with a dusting of cocoa powder on top.
  6. Chill: Refrigerate the pie for at least 1 hour (preferably longer) to allow flavors to meld and the cream to set before serving.
  7. Serve: Cut the tiramisu pie into wedges and serve chilled, garnished with extra cocoa powder if preferred.

Notes

  • Ensure the ladyfingers are only lightly dipped in coffee to prevent sogginess.
  • Use fresh eggs and high-quality mascarpone for best results.
  • The pie can be prepared a day ahead to enhance flavor development.
  • For a non-alcoholic option, avoid adding liqueur or coffee extract if preferred.
  • Chocolate lovers can add chocolate shavings or curls on top for extra decoration.
