Classic Tiramisu, this year for TIRAMISU DAY I decided to prepare the classic version, I usually make the one without eggs, but since this day fell a few days after my birthday and I am a true fan of this dessert in the traditional version, I decided to treat myself! However, you’ll have to make do with a photo taken quickly with my phone, because since I hadn’t been photographing for a while, I found both batteries of my SLR camera dead and couldn’t wait for them to recharge… before tasting!

  • Difficulty: Very Easy
  • Cost: Medium
  • Rest time: 3 Hours
  • Preparation time: 20 Minutes
  • Portions: 6 people
  • Cooking methods: No cooking
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All seasons

Ingredients

  • 5 eggs
  • 5 tablespoons sugar
  • 2 cups mascarpone
  • 1 package ladyfingers
  • to taste unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 2 coffee cups coffee (diluted)

Tools

  • 1 Electric Whisk
  • 1 Baking Pan
  • 1 Spatula
  • 2 Bowls

Steps

Let’s start by separating the egg yolks from the whites and whisking 3 of the latter until stiff peaks form. Work the 5 yolks with the sugar very well, for about 10 minutes.

  • Add the fresh mascarpone to the yolks and finally combine the whipped egg whites with a small spatula. Remember, the movement must be slow from bottom to top. Our mascarpone cream is ready, now we just need to assemble the tiramisu.

  • Dip each ladyfinger in the diluted coffee and place them at the bottom of a baking dish or a tray (as I did) cover with the cream and proceed by covering with a second layer of cookies. Cover everything with plenty of cream and dust with unsweetened cocoa powder.
