Tiramisu

Easy Pound Cake Tiramisu

Ingredients

• 1 cup brewed coffee

• 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon sugar

• 2-8 ounce packages mascarpone cheese

• 2 tablespoons almond liqueur or 1/2 teaspoon almond extract

• 12 ounces heavy whipping cream 

• 1/2 cup powdered sugar

• 1 tsp vanilla extract

• (Or substitute whipping cream, powdered sugar and vanilla for 20 oz cool Whip)

• 16 ounce pound cake, cut into 30 slices (use ladyfingers if you have them)

• 1 tablespoon cocoa powder

Instructions

• In a small bowl mix the coffee and 1 tablespoon sugar. Set aside. 


• In a medium bowl beat the mascarpone cheese, remaining sugar, and almond extract or liqueur. Which ever you are using. 


• In a stand mixer, combine whipping cream, powdered sugar, and vanilla. Whisk on high until stiff peaks form. Fold in the whipped cream into the cream cheese mixture and set aside. 


• In an ungreased 9x13 baking dish, place one layer of pound cake slices on the bottom, cutting pieces to make them fit as needed (10 pieces per layer). Brush or spoon over 1/3 of the coffee on to the cake slices as evenly as possible. 


• Top with 1/3 of the cream cheese mixture. Repeat layers two more times, ending with a cream cheese layer on top. Use a sifter to dust the top with the cocoa powder. Cover with plastic wrap and chill 24 hours before serving. 


Notes

Chill your tiramisu overnight before serving.
