Authentic Italian Tiramisu Recipes

Steps:

• Combine egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add mascarpone cheese and 2 tablespoons amaretto. Beat well.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with clean beaters until stiff peaks form. Fold beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
• Pour espresso and remaining 2 tablespoons amaretto into a shallow dish. Stir well. Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture and line the bottom of an 8-inch glass dish.
• Once the bottom of the dish is covered in an even layer of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, top with 1/2 the mascarpone mixture. Repeat with another ladyfinger layer, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.
• Dust with cocoa powder before serving.

Steps:

• Beat 1/2 cup sugar, egg yolks, brandy, and 1 tablespoon espresso together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese to sugar-egg mixture and beat until well blended, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Beat egg whites and a pinch sugar in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Gently fold egg whites into mascarpone mixture.
• Pour remaining espresso into a shallow dish. Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger into the espresso and arrange on a serving platter in 2 horizontal rows of 6 with 2 1/2 ladyfingers in opposite direction on both ends to form a rectangular shape.
• Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfinger layer and dust with 1/2 of the cocoa powder. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers dipped in espresso, mascarpone mixture, and cocoa powder. Refrigerate tiramisu until ladyfingers have softened from the espresso and mascarpone mixture, 2 to 3 hours.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl combine the mascarpone cheese, Frangelico liquor and sugar.
• In a separate bowl whip the whipping cream till soft peaks form.
• Gently fold mascarpone mixture into the whip cream.
• In an 8x8-inch glass serving dish layer 1/2 the ladyfingers tightly on the bottom.
• Drizzle 1/2 the espresso over the ladyfingers, trying to saturate them evenly.
• Spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers.
• Sprinkle 1/2 of the shaved chocolate over the top.
• Layer remaining ladyfingers on top of the shaved chocolate. Again, you are looking to get a nice tight layer.
• Drizzle the remaining espresso over the ladyfingers.
• Spread the rest of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers. You can either spread it nice and smooth with a spatula OR spread the mixture and create soft peaks for texture and appearance.
• Sprinkle the remaining shaved chocolate on top.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight for best results (at least 8 hours).
• Enjoy!
