| The original Italian tiramisu recipe is simple and can be done by anyone. |  |
It's important to use good and "original" ingredients, as this recipe changed while being repeated in different countries and adapted to local ingredients. The "real" tiramisu is something like a mouth-filling cream, not a cake as seen in many restaurants and bars. If you want to make a real homemade one, prepare the
savoiardi
by yourself, following this
simple recipe.
You'll need:
• 6 yolks
• 3 egg whites
• 100gr of sugar
• 250gr of
mascarpone
• 250gr of
Italian coffee
• 250gr of
pavesini
or
savoiardi
• 2 spoons of powdered cocoa
• half spoon of istant coffee grains
How to do it:
Prepare the coffee: if you're using
the Italian stove coffee maker
, depending on its size (2, 3, 4, 9 serving), consider making about 9 coffees. It will serve to wet the biscuits.Beat the yolks with the sugar white until it gets clearer. Add the mascarpone and put apart. Beat the egg whites until whipped up. Mix with the other cream. Take a square pan (maybe a pyrex. If you have a rectangular one, with about 10 cm of width, it'll be easier for you to place the biscuits on the sides and bottom, and then come making layers), and begin with the first layer of Pavesini biscuits wet in the coffee. tip: Wet less the first biscuits, as they are going to be the lower ones and will automaticaly get more cream and coffee from the ones that will come above). Make then a layer of cream and spread a little of instant coffee (it's a real tip that will make your tiramisu really special. Spread some cocoa powered and go ahead until finishing the biscuits. The last layer is the cream one, with powdered cocoa and coffee on. Put it into the refrigerator for at least 5 hours. tip: I used to cut it into individual portions, plastic wrap it and freeze. When I wanted to eat, a minute inside the microwave and it was like having just done it! |
