DESSERT

Find out how to quickly and easily make a perfect tiramisu, a classic
recipe from my mom, with ladyfingers, mascarpone, and a touch of
marsala! Tiramisu, the Italian dessert par excellence, during the holidays
but not only.
Ingredients
500 g Mascarpone
150 g ladyfingers, savoiardi cookies, Churros, or similar
6 cubes of sugar
4 super-fresh eggs
4 Tablespoons of Marsala
4 cups espresso
Dark chocolate powder
Method
1. To make a good tiramisu, start by mixing the egg yolks with the sugar
until they become white and frothy. Add the Marsala, then the
mascarpone and mix to obtain a homogeneous cream.
2. Beat the egg whites with an electric blender. Add the egg whites with
the egg yolks and the mascarpone whipped from the bottom up.
3. Prepare the espresso and let it cool. Then pour the cold espresso on
top of the cookies or (if savoiardi) quickly dip in the coffee to avoid
that they become too wet.
4. Place a layer of cookies in a rectangular baking dish.
(20cmx25cmx5cm) and cover with the mascarpone cream. Repeat
until all the cookies are used up by interleaving a layer of cookies and
a layer of cream. Place in the fridge (best overnight) and then dust a
very, very thin layer of chocolate powder on top and it is ready to
serve. Enjoy!
You can heat up the eggs at 82C if you are uncomfortable eating
raw eggs.
