Recipe for tiramisu
One of Italy’s most delightful desserts: Tiramisu. The combination of cream cheese, sweetness, coffee, and alcohol reaches a higher unity, and this simple recipe will make you a sure hit with your guests.
Ingredients
- 200 gram Coffee (Very strong, preferably espresso)
- 79 gram Alcohol Amaretto liqueur is preferred
- 500 gram Mascarpone
- 6 pcs. Egg Yolk
- 85 gram Sugar
- 1 package Ladyfingers (Savoiardi biscuits)
- Cocoa powder For sprinkling over the cake
Instructions
- Make a good, strong coffee (or espresso) and let it cool. We typically pour the coffee into a shallow bowl and place it in the freezer to speed up the cooling process.
- Once cooled, pour in the amaretto.
- Whisk the egg yolks together with the sugar until you get a fluffy eggnog. It needs to be whisked hard and long until it becomes quite frothy.
- Next, stir the mascarpone into the mixture.
- Find a heatproof dish (or a bread pan) and dip one side of the biscuit in the coffee/alcohol mixture. The shallow bowl is useful here again since it easily accommodates the dipping of the biscuits.
- Let the biscuits cover the entire bottom and spread a layer of cream on top. Repeat the process with another layer of biscuits and cream on top.
- Let it rest in the refrigerator, either overnight or make it in the morning to ensure it soaks for at least 4-6 hours before serving.
- When serving, sift the cocoa powder through a small sieve. It's a good idea to keep the sieve 30-40 cm above the dish to allow for an even distribution.
- Cut the cake into squares and serve with coffee.
