The Classic Tiramisu Recipe
Tiramisu Recipe is an Italian spoon dessert made with layers of Ladyfingers dipped in coffee and mascarpone cream.
Ingredients
- 150 g coffee
- 65 g granulated sugar
- 3 medium eggs very fresh
- 380 g mascarpone cheese
- 130 g ladyfingers Savoiardi biscuits
- Unsweetened cocoa powder for decoration
Instructions
- Prepare the espresso coffee or moka coffee, then sweeten it to taste (I prefer it unsweetened) and let it cool in a small wide bowl.
- Carefully separate the egg whites from the yolks, remembering that for well-beaten egg whites, there should be no trace of the yolk.
- In a large bowl, whip the egg yolks with a mixer, adding only half the sugar, until light and smooth.
- With the mixer still running, add the mascarpone cheese, little by little.
- Clean the mixer attachments well and whisk the egg whites in another bowl, gradually adding the remaining sugar. Whip them until stiff.
- Take a spoonful of egg whites and pour them into the bowl of mascarpone cream. Mix gently with a spatula, from bottom to top.
- Continue adding the rest of the egg whites, gradually stirring gently from bottom to top. Mascarpone cream is ready.
- Add a generous spoonful of mascarpone cream onto the bottom of a glass or ceramic baking dish or casserole, measuring approximately 30 x 20 x 5 cm. Spread it evenly.
- Dip the ladyfingers for 1 or 2 seconds on each side into the coffee. Let them rest for 5 minutes, then arrange them in the casserole, on top of the mascarpone cream.
- Add a layer of mascarpone cream, using half of the remaining cream.
- Add another layer of ladyfingers, then spread the mascarpone cream generously.
- Using a toothpick, create patterns on the surface of the tiramisu. I like to make small waves.
- Sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder.
- Cover the tiramisu and chill in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Your Tiramisu is ready to serve.
