Giada’s tiramisu takes a breezier, more effortless route, yet still delivers all the creamy, coffee-soaked decadence that makes this classic so irresistible.
So, with Giada’s recipe in hand, I gathered the finest ingredients I could find, including Galbani mascarpone, DeLallo ladyfingers, Illy espresso, and Bumbu dark rum, and headed straight to the kitchen.Related: I Tried Giada De Laurentiis' White Pesto, and My Weeknight Dinners Are Forever Changed
Ingredients Needed for Giada's Tiramisu
You'll also need a mixer with a whisk attachment, though a whisk will also work, and a 9x9-inch baking dish (Giada’s recipe calls for a larger 9x13 pan, but I prefer the 9x9).Related: We Tried Giada De Laurentiis' Chicken Meatballs Recipe and We Wish We’d Discovered It Years Ago
How To Make Giada's Tiramisu
"I love a make-ahead dessert for the holidays, and you can put this one together days in advance and everybody always loves it," Giada tells Parade. Here's how to make the treat.Using an electric mixer with a whisk attachment, beat the egg yolks and sugar until they turn thick and pale, a process that takes about five minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small shallow dish, combine the remaining espresso with dark rum or coffee liqueur. One by one, dip the ladyfingers into the espresso mixture for a brief five seconds (letting them soak too long will make them too fragile and soggy).
Carefully arrange each soaked ladyfinger in the bottom of a 9x9-inch baking dish, breaking a few in half so they fit snugly, creating the first layer of your tiramisu.
This is followed by another round of dipping ladyfingers before arranging them on top of the cream, creating a second layer.
Finish by spreading the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top. When the layers are complete, cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and store it in the refrigerator for at least two hours. (The flavors and texture of the tiramisu get better the longer it sits.)

Giada De Laurentiis' Tiramisu Recipe Review: My Honest Thoughts
I also stand by the 9x9 pan instead of a 9x13. While Giada’s recipe calls for a larger pan, I always reach for my grandmother’s 9x9 glass baking dish. I love how the glass lets you see the layers of tiramisu, each one neatly stacked and inviting and creates a taller, more substantial dessert. In my experience, tiramisu is far more satisfying when it has a bit of height. Having generous layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers and creamy mascarpone is much more indulgent than having a dessert that's too thin.
"All that espresso definitely helps keep everyone awake after a big meal!" Giada tells Parade. It’s a small touch that makes a big impact.
First, I’d swap the rum for a coffee liqueur. The rum added a sharpness that pulled me out of the espresso-mascarpone harmony I wanted. I think something coffee-based, which is what I typically use in my recipe, blends more naturally into the dessert and rounds out the coffee flavor.
But overall? This was a delicious, streamlined tiramisu that I’d absolutely make again.
It's worth putting in the extra effort to source high-quality ingredients. Great mascarpone, authentic espresso and proper ladyfingers make all the difference and elevate the dessert from good to unforgettable.
2. Don’t skimp on the espresso
When adding the mascarpone into the whipped eggs, handle it gently to preserve its silky texture. The creaminess is what gives tiramisu its signature indulgent texture.
4. Layer with care
5. Let it rest
Tiramisu improves after a few hours in the fridge, or even an overnight chill. This rest time allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set perfectly.
