Irish Coffee Tiramisu
Ingredients
Coffee Soak
2/3 cup strong brewed coffee
1/2 cup sugar
1/4 cup Irish cream liqueur
Cream Layer
1 1/2 cups heavy whipping cream
16 oz mascarpone cheese
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup Irish cream liqueur
1 tsp vanilla extract
For Layering
Cocoa powder, for the top
Method
Pour the coffee and sugar into a small saucepan and warm over medium heat. Stir until the sugar dissolves and the mixture just starts to simmer. Take it off the heat, stir in the Irish cream, and let it cool all the way.
In a stand mixer (or with a hand mixer), whip the heavy cream until it holds stiff peaks. Transfer it to a bowl and set aside.
In the same mixer bowl, combine mascarpone, sugar, Irish cream, and vanilla. Beat until smooth and creamy.
Add a scoop of the whipped cream to loosen the mascarpone mixture, then gently fold in the rest of the whipped cream until fully combined and fluffy.
Dip each Walker's Vanilla Cookie briefly into the cooled coffee mixture. Do not leave them in too long or they will fall apart.
Arrange the dipped cookies in a single layer in the bottom of an 8-inch square dish. Spread half of the mascarpone filling over the cookies.
Repeat with a second layer of dipped cookies, then finish with the remaining mascarpone filling. Smooth the top, or pipe it on for a cleaner look.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours so the layers can set.
Right before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Slice and serve cold.
