THE BEST TIRAMISU YOU WILL EVER MAKE


THE BEST TIRAMISU YOU WILL EVER MAKE My girls at school wanted to learn to make Tiramisu. I have made it at home for years and it was always very creamy and delicious, but I was never thrilled with how it held up.

So I started trolling for recipes to see what I might be doing wrong. And let me tell you there are as many different Tiramisu recipes as there are Italian grandmothers, each with their own little twist. Some which weren’t tiramisu at all.

What I did find was a recipe that took me back to a time when life was simpler. When food had become something almost magical to me, something that resonated deep down inside of me. Something that I knew I could do and be good at. Taping into this ability had been a gift from God and Mama Jeanette taught me how to use it.

It’s a lot easier than you might think to make tiramisu. Just follow my step by step instructions and you’ll be making tiramisu better than your favorite local restaurant!

INGREDIENTS

  • 6 large egg yolks
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 1/4 cup mascarpone cheese - room temperature
  • 1 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
  • 2 -7 oz packages Italian Lady fingers (Savoiardi)
  • 1 cup cold espresso or strong coffee
  • 1/2 cup coffee flavored Liqueur optional
  • 1 ounce cocoa for dusting

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. This is your sabayon, remove from the heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon-colored.  Allow to cool briefly before mixing in mascarpone.
  2. Add Mascarpone to whipped yolks, beat until combined.
