Tiramisu with Pasteurized Eggs: The Right Choice for a Healthy and Delicious Dessert

Since I started making Tiramisu with pasteurized eggs, I can’t stop. This version of the classic Italian dessert offers all the creaminess and flavor we love, with the added safety of pasteurized eggs. After trying various versions, I now have my own tested recipe, easy to follow both with and without a thermometer. Here are all the tips for creating a perfectly creamy Tiramisu.
I like to use electric beaters, but you can also use a stand mixer to whip everything well.

  • Difficulty: Medium
  • Cost: Economical
  • Rest time: 3 Hours
  • Preparation time: 30 Minutes
  • Portions: 8
  • Cooking methods: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: Italian
  • Seasonality: All seasons

Ingredients

  • 1.75 tbsp sugar
  • 1.75 tbsp water
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1.75 tbsp sugar
  • 9 oz ladyfingers
  • to taste unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 3.5 tbsp marsala (or other liqueur to taste)

Steps

  • First, start by placing one egg yolk with two eggs and the 1.75 tbsp of granulated sugar in a bowl. Whisk with an electric mixer until you obtain a frothy mixture that has tripled in volume. Set aside and move on to the syrup.

  • In a small saucepan, place 1.75 tbsp of granulated sugar and 1.75 tbsp of water and bring to a boil until it begins to turn golden and reaches a syrup consistency.
    If you have a thermometer, reach the temperature of 250°F; if not, check by using two teaspoons to see if it forms a thread, it is ready.

  • Once the syrup is ready, immediately pour it slowly over the whipped eggs with sugar and mix until well blended with an electric mixer or a stand mixer. When the mixture is well combined and whipped, let it cool before adding the mascarpone.

  • Add the mascarpone to the eggs by spoonfuls and mix well by hand or as I did with the electric mixer on medium speed. Once you have a smooth, soft, and compact cream, cover with plastic wrap and let it rest in the refrigerator.

  • Finally, place the cold coffee from the refrigerator in a plate or bowl with the marsala. Quickly soak the ladyfingers and line them up in a baking dish. Cover with a layer of cream and then with another layer of soaked ladyfingers. Finish with another layer of cream. Cover with plastic wrap and let it set in the refrigerator for a few hours.
    Then, when ready to serve, dust with unsweetened cocoa powder over your Tiramisu with Pasteurized Eggs.
