AUTHENTIC TIRAMISU

On my first trip to Italy to meet my husband's family back in 1995, I didn't speak a word of Italian. But I did learn how to make great 'dolci' from his sister, Maria. This was her recipe and now when we go back they ask me to make it!

Time 2h30m

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 8

½ cup white sugar
3 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons brandy
2 cups brewed espresso, cooled, divided
2 (8 ounce) packages mascarpone cheese
1 pinch white sugar
30 ladyfingers (such as Savoiardi®)
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Beat 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, brandy, and 1 tablespoon espresso together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese to sugar-egg mixture and beat until well blended, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • Beat egg whites and a pinch sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture.
  • Pour remaining espresso into a shallow dish. Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger into the espresso and arrange on a serving platter in 2 horizontal rows of 6 with 2 1/2 ladyfingers in opposite direction on both ends to form a rectangular shape.
  • Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfinger layer and dust with 1/2 of the cocoa powder. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers dipped in espresso, mascarpone mixture, and cocoa powder. Refrigerate tiramisu until ladyfingers have softened from the espresso and mascarpone mixture, 2 to 3 hours.

TRADITIONAL ITALIAN TIRAMISU



Traditional Italian Tiramisu image

I got the main recipe for this Tiramisu from the Sopranos Family Cookbook. I changed the Liquor to Frangelico and altered some of the measurements and it's perfect! Every time I am invited to a get together I am asked to bring this and my Manicotti! I hope you all enjoy it! It's best made the day before so that the ingredients have time to mix with each other!

Time 20m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 lb mascarpone cheese
3 tablespoons Frangelico (any type of hazelnut liquor will do)
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 cup heavy whipping cream
24 italian ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
1 cup espresso (room temperature)
2/3 cup bittersweet chocolate, shaved into small pieces

Steps:

  • In a large mixing bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, Frangelico liquor and sugar.
  • In a separate bowl whip the whipping cream till soft peaks form.
  • Gently fold mascarpone mixture into the whip cream.
  • In an 8x8-inch glass serving dish layer 1/2 the ladyfingers tightly on the bottom.
  • Drizzle 1/2 the espresso over the ladyfingers, trying to saturate them evenly.
  • Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers.
  • Sprinkle 1/2 of the shaved chocolate over the top.
  • Layer remaining ladyfingers on top of the shaved chocolate. Again, you are looking to get a nice tight layer.
  • Drizzle the remaining espresso over the ladyfingers.
  • Spread the rest of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers. You can either spread it nice and smooth with a spatula OR spread the mixture and create soft peaks for texture and appearance.
  • Sprinkle the remaining shaved chocolate on top.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for best results (at least 8 hours).
  • Enjoy!
