Tiramisu no doubt is one of the best Italian desserts, but did you know it is actually not hard to make it at all 🤔 I like mine very boozy but if you’re sober just cut out the alcohol it’ll still be super delicious.
Tiramisu recipe
Serves 8
Filling:
1 whole egg plus 1 egg yolk
1/2 cup/ 107g sugar
1/2 tsp salt
1 package ( 8 oz ) mascarpone cheese
1 tsp vanilla extract or bean paste
Espresso soak:
1/2 cup espresso or string black coffee
2 Tsp sugar
1/4 cup sweet Marsala wine
( or rum, coffee liquor, anything that’s dark and chocolaty will work )
Lady fingers
Cocoa powder
In a bowl combine all ingredients for espresso soak, let cool completely before using
In a separate bowl combine egg, egg yolk, sugar and salt, whisk to combine and place it on top of a steaming hot water and whisk until the sugar is dissolved
Remove from heat and let the mixture cook down completely
Whisk vigorously until the mixture is thick and pale, then add in a whole pack of cold mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract
Whisk until creamy and fluffy, about 3-4 minutes
Dip each lady finger in the espresso soak for 4-5 seconds then layer them in a dish ( use whatever vessel you want really there’s no rule for what you want your tiramisu in!), cover the soaked lady fingers with half of the mascarpone cream
Repeat step 6, smooth out the top with a spatula
Refrigerate for at least 6 hours but over night is even better
Dust the top with cocoa powder and enjoy!
