Tiramisu (Tiramisu La Ricetta Tradizionale)
8 servings
30 minutes
Tiramisu is a symbol of Italian culinary elegance, embodying tenderness and flavor balance. Its history began in the Veneto region in the 1960s. The name 'Tiramisu' translates to 'pick me up,' reflecting its invigorating effect from freshly brewed coffee. Delicate savoiardi sticks dipped in aromatic coffee form the base, while airy mascarpone with egg yolks and powdered sugar creates softness and a creamy texture. This creation is finished with cocoa powder and grated chocolate, adding a refined bitterness. Tiramisu is perfect as a final touch to a romantic dinner or cozy evening. Chilling it for several hours allows the flavors to develop, creating an unforgettable gastronomic delight.
1
In one bowl, beat the yolks with powdered sugar until frothy.
- Egg yolk: 6 pieces
- Icing sugar: 100 g
2
In another bowl, we whip the mascarpone cheese to make it lighter and softer.
- Mascarpone cheese: 500 g
3
Add whipped egg yolks with powdered sugar to the mascarpone and mix until smooth.
- Mascarpone cheese: 500 g
- Egg yolk: 6 pieces
- Icing sugar: 100 g
4
Pour the coffee into a bowl (so that the savoiardi cookie stick can fit horizontally and soak evenly in the coffee).
- Freshly brewed coffee: 150 ml
5
Now pay attention! Dip each stick in coffee for no more than 1 second — otherwise it will turn into mush, as the cookie is dry and absorbs moisture very quickly, and we need it to absorb the cream as well.
- Savoiardi (ladyfingers): 40 pieces
- Freshly brewed coffee: 150 ml
6
Now we lay all this deliciousness in the form (first measuring how much cookie is needed and how to best arrange it) but no more than 2-3 layers (I made 2), it can be done in portions.
7
First, we layer cookies in coffee, then a layer of cream, sprinkle cocoa powder on top, then again cookies, cream, and cocoa. The final touch was cream on top — grated chocolate.
- Savoiardi (ladyfingers): 40 pieces
- Freshly brewed coffee: 150 ml
- Mascarpone cheese: 500 g
- Cocoa powder: to taste
- 70% dark chocolate: to taste

We send the tiramisu to the refrigerator for at least 5 hours before serving.
