Ingredients

  • 360 grams of mascarpone cheese
  • 160 grams of granulated sugar
  • 4 eggs or 6 eg yolks
  • 26 Ladyfingers
  • 4 Tbsp Cocoa powder
  • Coffee

Instructions

1)First step, coffee

  • I always like to start first with the coffee so it sets and it’s cold. You should know how to make coffee because i don’t, our dad had to make it because we didn’t wanna burn the whole house, im sure you can find yourself a tutorial on YouTube, but who doesn’t know how to do that, right. Just make a bunch of it

2)Second step, eggs

  • You want to beat the eggs with a whisk or even an electric one, don’t stop okay. You want to see them to the top of the bowl and check the color of the picture. It’s gonna be looking yellow-ish but so much lighter, the whisk should start leaving a mark on the eggs, at this point you want to add in the sugar and keep whisking until they turn a whiter color.

3)Third step, mascarpone

  • Work the mascarpone with a spoon, whisk or spatula until you feel it so much softer, this will prevent lumps and also it will make it easier to later mix with the eggs without them starting to become loose.

4)Forth step, mix

  • Make sure to do this step really carefully, because we don’t want to ruin the eggs. Add 1/3 part of the eggs to the mascarpone cheese, mix carefully with the help of a spatula. Now you want to repeat the Same process 2 more times. Even if you see a whisk on the pictures, we used a spatula on this!

5)Fifth step, coffee

  • Dip the ladyfingers into the now cold coffee, until you see them soaked and put them in the base of whatever pan or glass thing you are using to start making the tiramisu. Don’t dip them at the same time.

6)Sixth step, build the perfect tiramisu

  • This is the best part of all, you start with the ladyfingers soaked in coffee, when you have the whole base covered, add 1/2 of the mascarpone mix on top and spread it evenly. Now you repeat the process another time, mascarpone mix should stay on top okay. Make the top part really smooth!

7)Seventh step, refrigerate

  • You should leave the traditional tiramisu on the fridge for at least 4 hours, allow it to set and it should be perfect if you leave it all night on the fridge. We left it overnight and it became perfect.

8)Eight step, Decorate

  • Cover all the traditional tiramisu with cocoa powder, using a strainer for a prettier finish.
