What is your favorite way to make tiramisu? Do you put egg whites, cream or just mascarpone with yolks?

  1. Never use cream.

    Whisk eggs yolks with sugar
    Mix into mascarpone
    Whisk the egg whites with some sugar until stiff
    Fold into mascarpone

    I use the entire egg

    1 spoonful of sugar and 1 egg for every 100 g of mascarpone
    Whip the whites and separately the yolks with the sugar.

    mix the mascarpone with the egg/sugar and then add the whipped whites

    layer the biscuits (I use savoiardi) dipped in espresso or moka coffe with the cream and let everything rest in the fridge until firm

    I once visited Treviso (a beautiful city) and had lunch at my friend’s grandma’s house in Montebelluna. She made rabbit and polenta – delicious – and then the best tiramisù I ever hade in my life. I managed to snatch the recipe.
    6 egg YOLKS
    250 grams sugar
    500 grams mascarpone
    Coffee
    Savoiardi
    Bitter cocoa powder
    Now, she recommended using just yolks to give it a richer texture. I guess people used egg whites to make it more stable. If you whip reeeeally well yolks and sugar, you won’t have to. Then add the mascarpone one third at a time. Make sure you use good quality eggs for health and safety reasons.
    Coffee: I hope you have a moka. My friend’s grandma does not use any liquor, but I really like the combination of anice and coffee, so to my taste I add a touch of Anisetta Meletti to the moka when the coffee is ready. It has to be the first thing you do because it has to be cold when you soak the savoiardi.
    DO NOT oversoak the savoiardi.
    Dust the cocoa powder AFTER you take it out of the fridge, as you’re about to serve it.
    Hope I was useful, let me know it you try it out!
