Best Tiramisù ever. Mine, of course.

How to make the perfect Tiramisù? It's kinda easy, but you need very good ingredients to make it delicious.

WHAT YOU NEED:

  • 4 eggs
  • 400 g mascarpone
  • 2 teaspoon of rhum or brandy (I'd rather use rhum)
  • 300 g savoiardi biscuits
  • 100 g sugar (the smaller the better)
  • coffee (already done)
  • unsweetened cocoa powder (just for the top)
HOW TO:
  • separate the egg white from the yolk (I use this funny tool, but it's very useful).
  • mix the yolks with the sugar (if you use the electric whisk it's easier).

  • add the mascarpone and mix it with a wooden spoon or a palette knife (tip: in our kitchen we have a wooden spoon just for sweets, not to mix the flavours). After using the wooden spoon, you can use the whisk to blend it in better.

  • add the rhum (or brandy).

  • in another mixing bowl (better if it's a glass one) beat half of the egg whites till they will stuck on the bowl even if you turn it upside down.

  • add the egg whits to the cream and mix gently with a wooden spoon od a palette knife, from the bottom to the top. DON'T USE A WHISK, you will ruin the beaten egg whites.








  • put the cold coffee in a soup plate with a little bit of sugar (not to much!)and a tablespoon of water (it depends on how strong you want the coffee flavour); run the savoiardi in the coffee. You have to be very fast while doing this, otherwise they will be too wet.
  • after the coffee, put the savoiardi in a casserole and cover the whole bottom with the biscuits.

  • add a layer of cream, then repeat the process with the savoiardi and cream again.

  • now that you have to layers, you can put your casserole in the fridge for at least two hours before serving it.
  • at the moment of serving it, just sift the cocoa powder on the top.
