Tiramisu Recipe - Authentic Italian Dessert

Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert known for its rich and creamy texture. It features layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers (savoiardi) and a luscious mixture of mascarpone cheese, eggs, and sugar. The dessert is typically flavored with a hint of cocoa powder and sometimes a splash of liqueur, creating a delightful balance of sweetness and bitterness1. Perfect for any occasion, tiramisu is a beloved treat that offers a taste of Italy in every bite.

Let's Start

1. Prepare Coffee: Brew 300 g of coffee using a moka pot. Add sugar to taste (we added 5 g) and let it cool in a large, shallow bowl.

2. Separate Eggs: Carefully separate the eggs, ensuring no yolk gets into the whites.

3. Beat Yolks: Beat the yolks with a hand mixer, adding 50 g of sugar. Once light and foamy, gradually add 500 g of mascarpone.

4. Whip Whites: Clean the mixer and whip the egg whites. Gradually add 50 g of sugar until stiff peaks form.

5. Combine: Add a spoonful of whipped whites to the mascarpone mixture and stir vigorously. Gently fold in the remaining whites.

6. Layer: Spread a spoonful of mascarpone cream on the bottom of a 20x30 cm glass baking dish. Dip ladyfingers in the coffee and layer them in the dish. Alternate layers of ladyfingers and mascarpone cream.

7. Finish: Use a pastry bag to cover the top with dabs of cream. Sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder and refrigerate for a couple of hours.

Storage: You can keep your tiramisu covered well in the fridge for a couple of days. It can be kept in the freezer for around 2 weeks.
