How to make tiramisu? When you think of an Italian dessert, you probably think of tiramisu: that beautiful masterpiece made of Savoiardi (Italian ladyfingers), mascarpone cream and coffee.
Prep Time35 minutes
Total Time35 minutes
Servings: 6 people
Indicative Cost: $25
Complexity: Easy

Equipment

  • bowls
  • tray
  • beaters
  • whiskers

Ingredients

  • 200 gr savoiardi
  • 200 gr coffee
  • 100 gr white sugar
  • 500 gr mascarpone cheese
  • 4 eggs
  • dark cocoa powder
Metric - US Customary

Procedure

  • First thing first: separate egg whites and egg yolks. Place them in different bowls;
  • Start with the egg yolks: add half of the sugar and whisk (using an electric beater) until the mix is soft and creamy.
  • Slowly add the mascarpone and mix with the beater at every step. The mascarpone cheese should be all incorporated within 10 minutes or so;
  • Wash and dry the beaters WELL, then move to the egg whites and whisk until they become a soft foam - this should take 5 minutes or so;
  • Now, GENTLY scoop the egg whites foam one spoon at a time and mix it with the cream of egg yolks and mascarpone. Make sure you mix the 2 with slow movements from bottom to top. Your cream will be ready in a few minutes!
  • We now need to assemble the Tiramisu: layer a bit of cream at the bottom of a rectangular tray;
  • Dip each Savoiardo (Italian lady fingers) for 2 seconds in the coffee - this will create the bottom layer of our Tiramisu;
  • After you lined your Savoiardi up, go wild with the cream on top! Sprinkle a bit of cocoa powder as well;
  • It's time for the second layer of Savoiardi now. This time, dip each of the Savoiardo biscuits for 3 seconds in the coffee.
  • Cover with cream and sprinkle more cocoa powder.
  • You should leave the tiramisu to rest in the fridge for A MINIMUM of 2 hours, preferable longer... Perhaps overnight!
  • ENJOY!

I like to add some cocoa powder between the 2 layers for extra tastiness!
