This tiramisu recipe uses ricotta so does not require the traditional mascarpone cheese, which can be both expensive and difficult to find. The actual preparation time is short, but as it must age for at least 10 hours, this is a dessert best prepared a day ahead of time.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 10 servings

  • 1 cup heavy whipping cream

  • 3 tablespoons white sugar

  • 1 (12 ounce) container ricotta cheese

  • 1 cup sour cream

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 2 fluid ounces dark rum (Optional)

  • 2 cups strong brewed coffee

  • 1 (12 ounce) package ladyfingers

Directions

  1. Beat cream and 3 tablespoons sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Refrigerate until ready to use.
