It is not difficult to cook a very tender, simply melting tiramisu dessert in the mouth, the recipe of which every self-respecting Italian housewife knows. The main thing is to cook all the ingredients, such as Savoyardi cookies or Mascarpone cheese. Of course, they can be replaced with other products (for example, dried biscuit and soft cream cheese), but then the taste of the finished dessert will be slightly different from the classic version.

Classic Tiramisu Recipe

The traditional dish is made exclusively from original products and is considered the basis of the remaining varieties of tiramisu.

To enjoy the delicious dessert that decorated the dining tables of ancient Italy, you will need:

  • Savoyardi cookies, which are baked specifically for tiramisu;
  • Mascarpone cheese, resembling thick cream rather than cheese;
  • Marsala wine, which is produced only in Sicily;
  • strong brewed coffee of any grade;
  • granulated sugar, eggs and cocoa powder.

Savoyardi can be replaced with your own baked biscuit, and hard-to-reach Marsala wine with another type of alcohol: cognac or Amaretto liqueur.

And now the proportions of the ingredients:

  • cookies - about 0.3 kg;
  • cheese - 0.5 kg;
  • sugar - 0.1 kg;
  • 4 eggs (can be replaced with quail - about 18 pcs.);
  • wine - 3 spoons;
  • cold coffee - a cup (about 0.4 l);
  • cocoa powder.

The classic recipe for tiramisu involves the following steps in creating this delicate dessert:

  1. Grate the egg yolks thoroughly with half the sugar until a white foam forms.
  2. Beat the chilled proteins with the remaining sugar until white.
  3. Mix the protein and yolk mixture, beat with a mixer again.
  4. Add cheese and beat until the mass becomes thick.
  5. Mix coffee with cognac.
  6. The sticks, quickly dipped in coffee, spread on a dish in a thick layer so that they do not have time to disintegrate.
  7. Top with cream.
  8. Put savoyardi second row, grease with the rest of the cream.
  9. Put in the refrigerator for 4 hours, and then sprinkle on the finished cocoa dessert.

It remains to carefully cut into pieces and put the dessert on plates.

No eggs added

The following products will be needed to prepare a “egg-free” tiramisu cream: 0.25 kg of mascarpone, 0.1 ml of cream (fat content not less than 25%) and 50 g of condensed milk.

In addition, you need to take:

  • Savoyardi - how much is needed (about 18 pieces);
  • Cup of coffee;
  • a couple of spoons of liquor.

The main difference from the classic recipe is in the preparation of the cream:

  1. Beat chilled cream and condensed milk until soft peaks form.
  2. Add a little cheese, gently mix the mixture from top to bottom until smooth.

Next, a tiramisu cake is created by analogy with the traditional recipe: the cookies soaked in coffee are laid out in rows, interspersed with cream, and cocoa is sprinkled on top and put in the refrigerator to set.
