Original Italian Tiramisù

Today I will show you how to prepare one of the most famous classical Italian dessert: The Tiramisù, which by the way means "pull me up!" or "cheer me up" literally! Did you know that? Let's start with the recipe!

 

Ingredients for 6 persons:

4 eggs

75 g sugar

500 g mascarpone cheese

250 ml espresso

ladyfinger cookies

unsweetened cocoa powder    

Preparation time:

Preperation time: 15 min

Rest time: 4 h

Directions:

In a medium bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff with a spoon of sugar.

Take a second bowl and whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until well blended. Add the mascarpone cheese to the yolks and continue whisking until smooth.

Now use a silicone spatula and fold in carefully the white eggs.

Spread two spoons of mascarpone cream in your serving dish. Drizzle the ladyfinger cookies with coffee (not too much!) and arrange them over the cream. 

Cover the ladyfingers with half of the mascarpone mixture and repeat the procedure another time.

Cover and refrigerate for minimum 4 hours until well set. 

Sprinkle with cocoa powder and serve the dessert cool.
