Whipped Tiramisu Dip with Biscotti Savoiardi

Tiramisu, Softened and Shared

Tiramisu has always carried a certain ceremony — the careful layering, the patient chill, the quiet anticipation before the first spoon breaks through. This version asks something gentler of you. Whipped into something light and communal, it becomes less of a composed dessert and more of an invitation. There's something tender about a dish meant to be passed around, dipped into, lingered over. The flavors are familiar and deeply Italian — bittersweet, creamy, faintly lifted by espresso — and they arrive, this time, without the formality.

Ingredients

• 1 cup heavy whipping cream, chilled
• 1 tablespoon Alessi Caffe Espresso
• 4 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 8 ounces mascarpone cheese

3. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth.
4. Add powdered sugar and vanilla extract; beat on low speed until combined.
5. Add heavy cream and espresso mixture and increase speed to high and beat until soft peaks form – do not over beat.

7. If not serving immediately, cover dip before sprinkling with cocoa powder and refrigerate.
