What makes tiramisu so special?

The simplicity in the preparation, its irresistible mascarpone cream interspersed with layers of ladyfingers soaked in coffee! We offer you the most classic version, perfect for any occasion!

 

INGREDIANTS

  • 750 g of mascarpone cheese;
  • 250 g of ladyfingers biscuits;
  • 300 g of bitter coffee;
  • 260 g of fresh eggs (about 5 medium);
  • 120 g of sugar;
  • unsweetened cocoa powder to taste

 

 

PREPARATION

To prepare the tiramisu, prepare the coffee with the mocha to obtain 300 g, then sugar to taste and let it cool in a low and wide bowl.

Separate the eggs by dividing the egg whites from the yolks, remembering that in order to whip the egg whites well, they must not have any trace of yolk. Beat the egg yolks with an electric whisk, pouring only half the sugar. As soon as the mixture has become light and fluffy, and with the whisk still running, you can add the mascarpone, little by little.

Once all the cheese has been incorporated, you will have obtained a thick and compact cream; keep it aside. Clean the whisks very well and whip the egg whites. When they are frothy, pour the remaining sugar a little at a time.

You will have to mount them firmly. Take a spoonful of egg whites and pour it into the bowl with the mascarpone cream and mix vigorously with a spatula. Then proceed to add the remaining part of the egg whites, a little at a time, mixing very gently from the bottom up.

 

 

The mascarpone cream is now ready. Distribute a generous spoonful on the bottom of a glass dish, about 30x19.5cm large and distribute well over the entire base. Soak the ladyfingers for a few moments in cold coffee first on one side and then on the other.

Gradually distribute the soaked ladyfingers in the pan, trying to arrange them all in one direction, so as to obtain a first layer of biscuits. Add more mascarpone cream and level to cover them completely.

Make several layers of cream and cookies and level the surface well. Transfer the remaining cream into a pastry bag with a smooth spout 12 mm in diameter and make small tufts for the entire size of the pan. Sprinkle with unsweetened cocoa powder and leave to harden in the refrigerator for a couple of hours. Tiramisu is ready to be enjoyed!
