Tiramisu!

Today my professor came over to our apartment for our first Italian cooking lesson & we made  chocolate tiramisu (which was DELICIOUS). At first I was a little apprehensive because we weren’t using expresso or raw eggs like you’re supposed to, but it ended up being great anyway so I didn’t mind. We split into two groups of 7 and made two batches of tiramisu. (I think my group made the better batch! lol)We watched a movie about the Medici family from Florence after we finished making it so we could put it in the fridge for it to set  for a few hours. 

Here’s the recipe we used!

Semi-Classic Tiramisu

 

Prep Time: 30 Minutes
Cook Time: 30 Minutes
Ready In: 2 Hours
Servings: 12

INGREDIENTS:

4 eggs, separated (eggs MUST be refrigerated)
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2/3 cup whole milk
2 packages mascarpone cheese (250 grams)
1 (300 grams) package ladyfingers (Savoiardi)
3 cups espresso (or chocolate milk)
 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder,
for dusting

DIRECTIONS:

1. Combine egg yolks, milk, and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored.
2. Add mascarpone to whipped yolks. Beat until combined. Put in the refrigerator to cool. Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, whip egg whites to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.
3. Dip the lady fingers in either the espresso or the chocolate milk, and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Spoon half of the egg filling over the lady fingers. Repeat ladyfingers and filling layers. Garnish with cocoa. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.

And here are some photos of the finished product!

    Great post! They look delicious. I don’t remember seeing any recipes from abroad in the past, but it is a great idea! I have a feeling a few people may attempt tiramisu in the near future …
