Today we're tackling one of those very famous and much talked about recipes: the tiramisu recipe .
We at Mamù, to avoid offending anyone, will not discuss the history of this delicious dessert (since its invention is disputed by many Italian regions), nor will we suggest an extravagant recipe or a variation on it.
Do you like to flavor it with Marsala or other liqueurs? That's your problem. We'll take the flavor of mascarpone cream and gorge ourselves on coffee-soaked ladyfingers. The key word: classicism
Difficulty: just enough to call it a "challenge"
Preparation: less than an hour, more than half an hour
Cost: not much but not very little either
Resting time in the fridge: two hours
Ingredients for eight people:
- 300 g of Savoiardi biscuits
- 4 eggs
- 500 g of mascarpone
- 100 g of sugar
- 300 g of coffee
- Bitter cocoa to taste
Preparation method:
- Start with the eggs: separate the egg whites from the yolks, and beat the latter with an electric whisk, gradually adding 50g of sugar.
- Add the mascarpone as soon as the mixture becomes light.
- Continue beating with an electric mixer until the cream is thick and compact. Set aside.
- Clean the whisks and then use them this time to beat the egg whites until stiff, adding the remaining 50g of sugar a little at a time.
- Once finished, take a spoonful of egg whites and pour them into the egg yolk and sugar mixture. Stir vigorously with a spatula to dissolve the mixture.
- Add the rest of the egg whites a little at a time, mixing from top to bottom.
- You take a 30x20 Mamù baking pan and spread the mixture on the bottom.
- Now it's time for the ladyfingers: dip them in the cold coffee, first on one side and then on the other.
- Place them on the cream to obtain the first layer.
- Take the mascarpone cream and spread it over the first layer of ladyfingers.
- Be careful when leveling the cream: try to obtain as smooth a surface as possible.
- Continue alternating strips of soaked ladyfingers with layers of cream until you run out of space and ingredients.
- Dust the entire surface of the Tiramisu with bitter cocoa powder.
- Put it in the fridge and leave it there for a couple of hours.
Go live life for these two hours, then come back and gorge yourself!
