How To Make Tiramisu
Here’s a fantastic recipe for how to make tiramisu by Italian Chef Chicca Maione. She can even teach you the art of making this amazing dessert in person through her cooking classes (If you are looking for a great vacation).
Prep Time: 20 minutes.
Cook Time: 120 minutes.
Prepare the coffee, put it in a bowl, and add 2 Tbs sugar. Let cool to room temperature.
Separate the egg whites from the egg yolks. Beat the 5 egg whites until stiff peaks form and you can turn the bowl upside down without spilling.
In another larger bowl, mix the sugar with egg yolks until you get a kind of zabaione (light yellow color).
Slowly add spoonfuls of the mascarpone to the zabaione, mixing continuously. Fold in the whites that you whipped in step 2.
Take a square pan (about 14×10 inches), dip the ladyfingers in the coffee (they should be quick dips because they absorb easily). Place the ladyfingers in the pan then spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture over it.
Make another layer with the ladyfingers dipped in the coffee. Spread another layer of zabaione (mascarpone mixture) over the ladyfingers. Finish with a layer of the unsweetened cocoa powder sprinkled on top.
Put in the refrigerator for 3 hours (2 hours is minimum and 4 hours is ideal) before serving. Tiramisù can be prepared up to one day in advance and still be good!
