AUTHENTIC TIRAMISU

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.

AUTHENTIC TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks and sugar together with an electric whisk until moussey and creamy looking.
• Add vanilla seeds which you have scraped out of the pod.
• Add mascarpone and beat again.
• Gradually add the alcohol and keep whisking until it looks nice and shiny and thick - don't make it too runny. Save some of the booze to put in the coffee mixture - about 2 - 3 tbs
• Pour the coffee and remaining alcohol into a shallow bowl and briefly dip the sponge biscuits in to soak up the mixture. Put a layer of these in a bowl or deep dish. Layer with the cream mixture until all used up.
• Sprinkle some cocoa powder or grated dark chocolate over the top if you like, to make it look pretty. Stick in the fridge for a couple of hours until it's firmer.

TIRAMISU - AUTHENTIC

Steps:

• 1. Arrange ladyfingers in a serving dish of your choice in an even layer. I used a 9x13 pan or even one of those compote bowls will work. I usually pour the warm coffee (mixed with a few oz of Kahlua as per your taste, you can also use cognac) over the lady fingers with a liquid measuring cup directly because I tend to like a more moist tiramisu. If you prefer a drier cake, dip the ladyfingers individually in the coffee and lay out into dish.
• 2. In a bowl, beat egg yolks while gradually adding sugar with an electric beater until very stiff and yolks appear pale in color. Gently fold in mascarpone cheese. I recommend you take the cheese out of the refrigerator for about 15 minutes prior to adding so that it folds in beautifully without lumps.
• 3. In another bowl, beat egg whites until very stiff and gently fold into the mascarpone mixture.
• 4. Once the cheese/egg mixture is incorporated, pour over layer of ladyfingers to cover completely. If you prefer a higher cake, pour 1/3 or half of the mixture alternating with a layer of moistened ladyfingers. The cheese mixture should always be on top.
• 5. Sprinkle with cocoa powder and/or chocolate shavings. Chill for at least 2 hours and enjoy!!
• 6. You can also make smaller versions, I like to keep one in the freezer in case company comes over or if I NEED something sweet. I make 2 9x9 pans and they freeze beautifully! Just defrost the night before in the refrigerator.
• 7. Also, I dare you to try not to lick the bowl!

AUTHENTIC TIRAMISU RECIPE - (4.4/5)

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, beat egg whites with electric mixture till stiff peaks form but not dry; set aside. In another medium bowl, Beat the egg yolks with sugar until creamy, about 1 minute. If not beaten well, then the filling will have an egg-y taste. Then add mascarpone cheese and mix until there are no more lumps. . Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture with a spatula or wooden spoon. Dip the cookies in espresso (you can add a shot of your favourite liquer to the espresso, like rum, amaretto, brandy, Frangelico, marsala, etc.) and lay them into a 9x14 rectangular glass pan (or you may use another container/pan). You can leave 3 to 4 mm (1/4 inch) or a finger's width between each cookie for the filling, or you can place them close/next to each other so there is no filling between the lady fingers (personal preference). Pour half the mascarpone mixture onto the cookies and spread evenly across the top. Repeat step 4 with the next layer but alternate the cookies perpendicular (or just follow the same pattern as in the first layer) to the ones in the first layer. Refrigerate for over night for best results. If you really must, then refrigerate a minimum of 4 hours before serving but it might still be runny. Sprinkle with cocoa. Makes 12 large pieces or 16 smaller pieces.

AUTHENTIC ITALIAN TIRAMISU'

Steps:

• Bring all the ingredients at room temperature. Make 2 cups of espresso and pour into a rim soup plate then add the milk and set aside. In a mixing bowl beat egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow and creamy, then add the mascarpone and beat until well incorporated. In another mixing bowl beat the egg whites until stiff. Fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until blend. Spoon the bottom of a baking dish with a little amount of the mascarpone cream. Dip briefly the ladyfingers (one at the time) into the milk & coffee mixture, gently squeeze out the excess of liquid. Make a layer of dipped ladyfingers on the baking dish, then spoon half of the mascarpone cream trying to cover all the ladyfingers. Sprinkle the tiramisu' with the cocoa powder using a little sifter. Make another layer of dipped ladyfingers, spoon the rest of the mascarpone cream all over the ladyfingers and cover the entire tiramisu' with cocoa powder (always using a little sifter). Cover the Tiramisu' with lid or cling film and refrigerate for at least 2 to 4 hours. Usually I make my Tiramisu' one day before serving it taste even better! Buon Appetito =)
