Italian tiramisu recipe
Italian tiramisu recipe, the best tiramisu recipe step-by-step, being the best Italian dessert, that combines the sweetness of mascarpone with the bitterness of espresso coffee.
The "real" one is a mouth-filling cream dessert, not a tiramisu cake recipe as seen in many restaurants and bars. The traditional tiramisu recipe is simple and can be done by anyone.
It's important to use good and "original" ingredients, suchy as the ones that I am suggesting to you here. My sister-in-law has the best tiramisu recipe and uses this mascarpone brand and Lavazza coffee as well.
If you want to make a real home-made one, prepare the savoiardi yourself, following this simple recipe.
You'll need:
• 6 yolks• 3 egg whites
• 3.5 ounces of sugar
• 8.75 ounces of Mascarpone
• 8.75 ounces of Italian coffee
• 8.75 ounces of Savoiardi
• 2 table spoons of powdered cocoa
• half a table spoon of istant coffee grains
How to do it:
Prepare the coffee: if you're using Stovetop Espresso Maker, depending on its size (2, 3, 4, 9 serving), consider making about 9 coffees. It will serve to moisten the biscuits.
Beat the yolks with the sugar until smooth. Add the mascarpone and set aside.
Beat the egg whites until stiff and add to the other mix.
Take a square pan (maybe a Pyrex if you have a rectangular one, about 10 cm wide, as it'll be easier for you to place the biscuits on the sides and bottom and then start making layers) and begin with the first layer of Pavesini biscuits moistened in the coffee.
tip # 1: Moisten the first biscuits only slightly, as they are going to be the lower ones and will automatically get more cream and coffee from the ones that will be above them).
Pour over a  layer of the mixture and sprinkle a little instant coffee on top of it. (It is a great tip that will make your tiramisu very special. Sprinkle some cocoa powder over the mixture and repeat until all the biscuits have been used. The last layer should be the mixture, topped with powdered cocoa and coffee.
Place in the refrigerator for at least 5 hours.
tip # 2: I used to cut it into individual portions, plastic wrap it and freeze. When I wanted to eat, a minute in the microwave and it was like having it freshly prepared!
