Yield Makes 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 large eggs, separated
5 tablespoons sugar, divided
1/2 pound mascarpone (about 1 cup) at room temperature
Pinch of salt
1/2 cup chilled heavy cream
1 cup brewed espresso or very strong brewed coffee, cooled to room temperature
5 ounces amaretti (crisp Italian macaroons; 30 to 40, depending on size)

Steps:

  • Beat together yolks and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Beat in mascarpone until just combined.
  • Beat whites with salt in another large bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold soft peaks. Add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, a little at a time, beating, then continue to beat until whites just hold stiff peaks.
  • Beat cream in another bowl with cleaned beaters until it just holds stiff peaks. Gently but thoroughly fold cream into mascarpone mixture, then fold mixture into whites.
  • Pour espresso into a shallow bowl. Dip half of amaretti (15 to 20) in espresso for about 20 seconds, turning to coat both sides and letting excess drip off. Arrange in 1 layer in an 8-inch square baking dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture evenly over amaretti. Make another layer in same manner with remaining amaretti (dipped in espresso) and mascarpone mixture. Chill at least 6 hours.

Tips:

  • For the most authentic tiramisu, use real Italian mascarpone cheese.
  • Make sure the mascarpone cheese is cold before you start making the tiramisu. This will help to prevent it from curdling.
  • Use fresh eggs for the best flavor and texture.
  • Beat the egg yolks and sugar until they are thick and pale yellow. This will help to incorporate air into the mixture and make the tiramisu light and fluffy.
  • Fold the beaten egg whites into the mascarpone cheese mixture gently. Over-mixing will deflate the egg whites and make the tiramisu less airy.
  • Use a good quality coffee for the coffee syrup. This will give the tiramisu a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Dip the ladyfingers in the coffee syrup quickly, so that they don't get too soggy.
  • Layer the ladyfingers, mascarpone cheese mixture, and cocoa powder in a baking dish. Repeat the layers until all of the ingredients have been used.
  • Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.

Conclusion:

Tiramisu is a delicious and classic Italian dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its rich and creamy mascarpone cheese filling, coffee-soaked ladyfingers, and dusting of cocoa powder, tiramisu is sure to please everyone. Whether you're making it for a special occasion or just because you're craving something sweet, tiramisu is a dessert that you'll love.
