Authentic Italian Tiramisu Recipe
Description
The Authentic Italian Tiramisu Recipe features essential ingredients like ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese, eggs, sugar, espresso coffee, Marsala wine, and cocoa powder. The process starts with preparing coffee infused with Marsala to soak the ladyfingers briefly, ensuring they absorb flavor without losing their shape. The mascarpone cream is made by beating egg yolks with sugar until smooth, folding in mascarpone cheese, and then gently incorporating whipped egg whites to lend an airy texture. The tiramisu is assembled in layers of soaked ladyfingers and mascarpone cream and chilled to set, with a final sprinkle of cocoa powder adding depth to the flavor. This layered dessert offers a contrast of moist, coffee-flavored biscuit and creamy, subtly sweet filling, making it a classic choice for an after-meal treat.
Ingredients
- 300 g ladyfingers - (Savoiardi), about 30 cookies
- 500 g mascarpone cheese - 1.1 pound
- 4 egg
- 100 g granulated sugar - ½ cup
- 300 ml coffee - espresso, 1 ¼ cup
- 2 tablespoons marsala wine
- cocoa powder for decoration, unsweetened
Instructions
- Prepare the coffee. Then add 2 tablespoons of Marsala wine. Set aside and let cool.
- Separate the egg whites from the yolks. Set aside the yolks and whip the egg whites until stiff. Once ready, set aside.
- In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with sugar until light and smooth, 3 to 5 minutes.
- Pour the mascarpone cheese into a bowl and work it with a spoon to make it softer. When the yolks are ready add the mascarpone cheese.
- Whip the mascarpone cream for 2 to 3 minutes. Now add the stiffly beaten egg whites. Mix with a wooden spoon, from bottom up. Mix slowly until smooth and creamy
- Dip the ladyfingers quickly (1 or 2 seconds) into the coffee. Then arrange the ladyfingers in the casserole of your liking.
- Arrange them so that they cover the bottom of the casserole. Then spread the mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.
- Add another layer of ladyfingers and then top with more mascarpone cream. If you are making the last layer, spread the mascarpone cream generously.
- Sprinkle with cocoa powder. Allow to rest 3 hours in the refrigerator before serving. Even better if you prepare the tiramisu the day before, letting it rest overnight.
