Tiramisu is a world-famous dessert originating from Italy, which combines the aroma of coffee and Mascarpone cheese, and is made to be enjoyed. This time we bring you a recipe for a classic tiramisu that literally melts in your mouth. It can be made in just half an hour, so if you are one of those who don’t like long cooking, you will definitely like this recipe.
Mascarpone cheese is a key ingredient in every tiramisu because its mild flavor and fine creamy structure give this dessert its trademark, so don’t replace this cheese with any other. Although some similar variants have existed for centuries, the recipe for tiramisu as we know it today is more recent. Confectioners often made it from leftover baked waffles, and it was so good that its production soon spread around the world.
Tiramisu is a Dessert that will “LIFT YOU UP”
Today, we use cookies dipped in coffee to make it, which gives this dessert a specific and aromatic taste. In the literal translation, tiramisu means ‘lift me up, which can certainly be attributed to the combination of coffee, sugar, and alcohol that is also added to this dessert. Of course, there is also a fine egg cream without which it is not possible to make a good tiramisu. In the past, only yolks were used to make it, but today it has become customary to use whole eggs, as you can see in our recipe.
Although tiramisu is quick to prepare, it takes a long time to cool. The minimum is five hours in the fridge, and it is even better to leave it to cool overnight. Since tiramisu is very soft, it melts quickly at room temperature, so we also had to do the photography a little faster this time than usual in order to prevent our tiramisu from spilling on the plate.
