Indulge in the timeless elegance of Tiramisu, a rich and creamy Italian dessert made with layers of coffee-soaked biscuits, silky mascarpone cream, and a dusting of cocoa. Perfect for any special occasion or simply as a luxurious treat!
Ingredients
- 500 g Mascarpone
- 5 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 5 eggs (separated)
- 2 small shots of Amaretto
- 1 cup of strong black coffee
- 1 bag of pastry biscuits (Savoiardi or ladyfingers)
- Cocoa powder for dusting
Procedure
- Prepare the mascarpone cream:
- Beat the egg yolks with sugar until light and fluffy.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the mascarpone into the yolk mixture, then carefully fold in the egg whites to maintain a light and airy texture.
- Assemble the layers:
- Mix the strong black coffee with Amaretto in a shallow dish.
- Quickly dip each biscuit into the coffee mixture (avoid soaking too long to prevent sogginess).
- Layer the dipped biscuits in a serving dish.
- Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the biscuits.
- Repeat the process, finishing with a layer of mascarpone cream.
- Final touch:
- Generously dust with cocoa powder for an authentic finish.
- Refrigerate for at least 4 hours (or overnight) to allow the flavors to blend beautifully.
Final Tip
For an extra decadent twist, sprinkle the top with chocolate shavings or serve with a drizzle of espresso syrup.
Enjoy! 🇮🇹☕🍰
