Tiramisu Recipe
Makes 8 portions
6 eggs, separated
1 cup granulated sugar
500g Mascarpone
1 1/2 cups espresso coffee
2 TBS Khalua
25-30 lady fingers biscuits/cookies
1/2 cup cocoa powder
Dip the lady fingers into the coffee and arrange in a large casserole dish in one layer.
Bring the Mascarpone to room temperature. Whisk the egg yolks with the sugar until light and cream and double in volume and then whisk in the Marscapone until soft and smooth.
Whip the egg whites until stiff and fold into the Mascarpone mix.
Spoon half of the mix over the lady fingers and repeat the step with the espresso soaked lady fingers.
Cover with the remaining Marscapone mix and dust heavily with the cocoa powder.
Refrigerate for at least three hours or overnight before serving.

I haven't made this in ages. The only problem I have is; I cannot stop eating it.

My mother covered with grated dark chocolate and rimmed with piped cream. She also placed the biscuits upstanding around the edges of the dish aswell as layered in between.

Don’t think you mentioned it but if you place the second layer of lady fingers (AKA Savoiardi Cookies) perpendicular to the first, the slice will hold together better.

Just need to say you are one of the best chefs to follow with instructional videos

Adding cocoa powder every layer makes it even better. Bravo chef 👏🏻 ps try with a good coffee and no kalua it’s equally good

Finally, a non Italian chef who makes Tiramisù the correct way. Although not a 100% authentic version, but you have explained it well. Salute!!

The wife of the older couple that I work for really enjoys your stories about working for the royals.
Thank you.

By the way, this is an amazing recipe.
I hope that the couple that I work for approves so that I am able to put it on the menu.

You never disappoint Chef Darren.
Thanks for another great recipe 🥂

Tiramisu is basically a fruitless Italian trifle (w/cheese mousse instead of pastry cream).😉 That filling looks so good. Glad you're doing well. 👍❤️

I love tiramisu! It’s one of my sister’s favorites. In college, I made it once on finals week for my best friend and I to eat for a study snack. I made homemade lady fingers as well. It was really good and my sister ended up eating some too when I took some the leftovers home that winter break. Adding liquer sounds delicious!

Love that your recipes don’t make HUGE amounts. Eight servings is quite enough for most families. ❤

I love Tiramisu, I make it very often. Your recipe is very similar to the way I make it. I use Tia Maria instead of Kahlua. It is so good, once you taste it you can not stop. Thank you for your amazing version. I love it.❤

[tazza]

I have none of the ingredients to make it but I find myself watching to the end every time these videos are so addicting 😂😂😂

[laurenschenck]

You are so sweet and such a joy and full of positive smiles and energy and incredible gifted and THE BEST! ❤😊❤

Lived in Italy for 8 years and the legend is that it was invented in Venice and were supplied to courtesans in between clients, and with the sugar and added espresso, gave it the name, "Pick me up".
