The tiramisu is a classic of Italian pastry appreciated all over the world. A spoon dessert made up of a base of ladyfingers soaked in coffee and covered with a mascarpone, egg, and sugar cream flavored with liqueur. Its origins are still debated today between Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia. The version I propose to you is based on pasteurized eggs.

Steps
Separate the egg yolks from the whites, put the water with the sugar in a small saucepan and bring to 250°F.
Start beating the egg yolks with an electric mixer and pour the sugar syrup into the yolks in a thin stream. Whip until cool, the mixture should be light and frothy.
Pour the mascarpone into a bowl and mix it with an electric whisk or a hand whisk to make it creamy.
Add the pasteurized egg yolks and mix with a spatula, stirring gently.
Soak the ladyfingers in the coffee and place them in a 10×10 inch baking dish, covering the entire bottom. Pour half of the tiramisu cream, leveling it well with a spatula.
Soak more ladyfingers in the coffee and cover the tiramisu cream. Sprinkle with the remaining cream.
Level well and decorate with the unsweetened cocoa. Cool for at least 6 hours in the refrigerator before serving.
