The Tiramisu Recipe We Made In Italy In The 80s

This is the old classic Italian Tiramisu recipe from the 80s, just as we made it in Italy. It’s the tiramisu of teenage parties and family gatherings—simple, quick, and authentic. Made with ladyfinger biscuits soaked in espresso, layered with a luscious cream of mascarpone and raw eggs, and topped with a dusting of cocoa powder, it’s the original version without heavy cream or extra ingredients. This timeless recipe captures the true flavors and textures of Italian tiramisu, just as we enjoyed it back then.

Welcome back! I just love mascarpone, this is how I remember making Tiramisu as well, perhaps because I was very much around in the 80's. 😉
