What is tiramisu?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Tirami s\u00f9<\/em> is an Italian expression. Translate it into English, and you\u2019re literally saying \u201cpick me up<\/em>.\u201d The name is not a surprise, given that the light and almost fluffy dessert is made with coffee spiked with alcohol wrapped in sugar!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A typical tiramisu recipe is made by layering ladyfingers soaked in coffee, topped with a sweetened mascarpone and cream mixture with a finishing of sprinkled cocoa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a>How to make tiramisu?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My tiramisu recipe is by no means traditional. My take on the dessert is eggless <\/strong>and simple. No baking and no cooking<\/strong>. It\u2019s not overly sweet and it\u2019s so good that I\u2019ve stopped enjoying tiramisu, even from the best of restaurants!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tiramisu Ingredient List<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

1. Rum<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Cream<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Icing sugar<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Mascarpone cheese<\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Coffee powder \/ Espresso<\/p>\n\n\n\n

6. Savoiardi\/ Ladyfinger cookies<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Ingredients<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Start with a mascarpone mixture<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step 1:<\/strong> Whisk mascarpone, cream, and icing sugar. Don\u2019t overmix. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2:<\/strong> Add one-fourth cup of rum (or brandy or marsala wine<\/em><\/strong>), if desired, and mix well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3:<\/strong> Slide the mixture into your refrigerator while you make hot black coffee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Layer<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Move on to the coffee syrup<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Step 4<\/strong>: In a saucepan, boil water, add 2 to 3 tablespoons of coffee powder (You can use espresso here if you wish<\/em><\/strong>) and a tablespoon of icing sugar. The strength of your coffee will make or break this tiramisu recipe. We like a strong coffee-flavored tiramisu!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 5:<\/strong>  Stir, bring to a boil, then remove from heat and set aside to cool. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 6:<\/strong> This step is completely optional<\/strong>. If you want, spike the coffee with rum or the alcohol of your preference after it has cooled down. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assemble the tiramisu<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step 7:<\/strong> Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee syrup. The trick is to dunk them long enough for a good soak but remove them before they fall apart.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re using homemade ladyfinger cookies, it\u2019ll be a really quick dip as they're softer and more porous. For cookies with a hardier texture, the dunk will be a little longer, but not by much. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 8:<\/strong> Arrange the soaked cookies in a single layer in your serving dish. Use whatever catches your fancy \u2013 a round plate, rectangle dish, or square pie dish. We\u2019re looking for a 2 layered tiramisu. So, pick the size accordingly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 9:<\/strong> Drizzle a couple of spoons of the coffee mixture on the cookies. Then spread half of the mascarpone mixture on top. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 10<\/strong>: Repeat the layers. Dip the cookies, arrange them on top of the first layer of cream, and pour the rest of your coffee, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Optional:<\/strong> I used a piping bag fitted with a star nozzle to create a pattern on top of the second layer of mascarpone, just to give the tiramisu a fancier touch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Layer<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The final step of the tiramisu recipe<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Step 11:<\/strong> Cover with cling wrap and refrigerate for a good 6 to 8 hours.<\/strong> Right before you serve, generously dust the tiramisu with cocoa powder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If coffee is the backbone of tiramisu, then chilling gives it body. If I\u2019m serving the dessert for dinner,<\/strong> I like to make it first thing in the morning<\/strong>, so it\u2019s done and dusted and gets adequate time to develop the flavors. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In case you have to serve it for lunch,<\/strong> my advice is to make a day ahead.<\/strong> Remember, even if you\u2019re in a huge rush, tiramisu still needs a couple of hours to chill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
