The Best Tiramisu
One of our biggest questions when it comes to a dinner party is - what should we make for dessert? Yes, the dinner needs to be delicious but it is with the dessert that you will win over all your friends and family!
Over time we have learned that one of the top desserts is Tiramisu. Not only is it much better when you make it yourself at home (which will make your guests think that you are a dessert genius) but it is also so simple and quick to make and you literally only need 6 ingredients.
Prep Time: 40 Minutes
Rest Time: 4 Hours
Ingredients:
Lady Finger Biscuits - 300 gr (find them at COOP)
Eggs - 4 Medium Sized Eggs (super fresh)
Mascarpone - 500 gr
Sugar - 100 gr
Coffee - 300 dl (you can either make Nespresso coffee or with a normal coffee machine)
Unsweetened cocoa powder - to cover the surface (we use this one)
How to:
To prepare Tiramisu, start with the eggs by carefully separating the egg whites from the yolks, remembering that in order to whip well, the egg whites must not show any trace of yolk. Then whip the yolks with the electric whisk, pouring only half a dose of sugar.
As soon as the mixture has become clear and frothy and with the whisk still on, start slowly adding the mascarpone.
Once all the mascarpone is incorporated you will end up with a creamy substance - put it aside.
Clean the whisk very well and whisk the egg whites by pouring the remaining sugar little by little. You will have to whisk them until the egg whites resemble snow (and they don’t fall out if you tip over the bowl) - this can take up to 15 min.
Take a spoonful of egg whites and pour it into the bowl with the yolks and sugar and mix vigorously with a spatula. Then proceed to add the rest of the egg whites, little by little mixing very gently from the bottom upwards.
Once ready, distribute a generous spoonful of cream on the bottom of a baking dish and distribute it well. Then, soak the ladyfingers for a few moments on both sides in the cold coffee already sweetened to your liking.
Spread the soaked ladyfingers on the cream, all in one direction, obtaining a first layer on which you will place a layer of the mascarpone cream.
Keep layering, ladyfingers, mascarpone, ladyfingers mascarpone until you get to the top of the baking dish.
Level surface and sprinkle with bitter cocoa powder and leave to harden in the fridge for at least 2 hours.
Enjoy it :)
