Recipe: Tiramisu

Rozen

Tiramisu

Nope, tiramisu has nothing to do with Sinterklaas. But it is one of my favourite desserts. And I always make way too much of it. But since it unfortunately is still impossible to share food through the internet, I thought I at least could share the recipe:

Tiramisu

Ingredients:

  • 125 gr. sugar
  • 6 egg yolks
  • 500 gr. mascarpone
  • amaretto or marsala
  • ladyfingers (+/- 20)
  • very strong coffee
  • cocoa

In a bowl beat the sugar and egg yolks until they are light and soft yellow. Add the mascarpone, one bit at a time, and a large shoot of liquor and keap beating until it's creamy and smooth.

Dip half of the ladyfingers in the coffee until they are soaked and place them at the bottom of a bowl. Pour half of the cheesemix on top of the ladyfingers. Then add another layer of ladyfingers that you drenched in the coffee and pour the rest of the mascarpone mix on top of it.

Put the tiramisu in the refrigerator for at least a couple of hours, but preferably for an entire night. Sieve some cocoa on the tiramisu just before you eat it.

Bon appetit!

    those roses are GORGEOUS. :) The last time I made homemade tiramisu, I baked up a sponge cake instead of using cookies, and the sponge cake came out a complete disaster. Thankfully once it had soaked in espresso and liquor & was coated with mascapone, it wasn't too bad. Goes to show enough sugar can save anything I guess. ;-)

    Hi,

    It's also one of my favourites, but it's really difficult to find a restaurant here in Portugal that makes a real one.
    I guess I'll have to make it myself...
    You know, I could try a version with Porto wine (ok, I know that Porto in english in Oporto).

    Kind regards,

    José
