Preparation Time: 20 minutes
Freezing Time: 5-6 hours
Total: 5-6 hours and 20 minutes
Servings: 4-6 servings

Necessary Ingredients:
- 300 g mascarpone
- 150 ml heavy cream
- 100 g sour cream
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 1 packet instant coffee
- 4 tablespoons coffee-flavored whiskey cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla
- 7-8 ladyfingers
- 1 cup brewed and cooled coffee
- Dark chocolate flakes (to taste)

Preparing the Tiramisu Ice Cream:

1. Preparing the Base Cream:
Start by chilling all the ingredients, including the bowl and utensils, to ensure a fluffy texture. In a large bowl, add the heavy cream and sour cream. Use an electric mixer to beat them at medium speed until they become slightly frothy. Be careful not to overbeat!

2. Incorporating Mascarpone and Flavors:
Once the cream is whipped, add the mascarpone, whiskey cream, sugar, and vanilla. Continue mixing until you achieve a creamy and homogeneous consistency. This step is essential for creating the delicious base of your ice cream.

3. Creating Flavor Layers:
Take a little more than a third of the cream obtained and mix it with the instant coffee. This mixture will add an intense coffee flavor to your ice cream.

4. Dividing into Containers:
Prepare two small containers or one large container. Start with a layer of the white cream, followed by a thin layer of the coffee mixture, and sprinkle some chocolate flakes.

5. Adding Ladyfingers:
Quickly dip the ladyfingers in the cooled coffee. Don’t soak them too long, as they need to remain slightly firm to avoid freezing too hard. Place them over the first layer of cream, then repeat the process with a new layer of white cream, the coffee mixture, and chocolate flakes.

6. Freezing:
Cover the containers with lids and place them in the freezer for 5-6 hours. This time is essential for allowing the ice cream to set perfectly.

7. Serving:
About 10-15 minutes before serving, take the ice cream out of the freezer to soften slightly. This step will make it easier to scoop. Serve it in cups or bowls, adding more chocolate flakes if desired for a more appealing look.

Practical Tips:
- Choose Quality Ingredients: Use good quality mascarpone to achieve a creamy texture and rich flavor.
- Customize the Flavor: If you don’t have whiskey cream, you can use coffee syrup or even coffee essence for a similar taste.
- Variations: You can add a splash of alcohol (like amaretto or rum) for an even bolder flavor, but make sure it’s to everyone’s liking.

Nutritional Benefits:
This eggless tiramisu ice cream contains ingredients that provide protein from mascarpone and sour cream, as well as healthy fats. Using coffee can give an energy boost, while dark chocolate adds antioxidants. Of course, moderation is key!

Frequently Asked Questions:
1. Can I use another type of cream?
Yes, you can use plant-based cream, but the taste will be different.

2. How can I avoid excessive freezing of the ice cream?
Make sure not to soak the ladyfingers too long in coffee and mix the ingredients well to incorporate air.

3. What can I do with leftover ice cream?
You can use the ice cream in milkshakes or as a topping for cakes and pancakes.

Serving Suggestions:
Tiramisu ice cream pairs perfectly with a freshly brewed espresso or a glass of sweet wine for a decadent combination. Additionally, a slice of chocolate cake alongside could make for an unforgettable meal!
