⭐ TIRAMISÙ – THE HEAVENLY CLASSIC ⭐

✅ Introduction

Tiramisù, often called “the dessert of the gods,” is an Italian no-bake masterpiece that blends silky mascarpone, espresso-soaked ladyfingers, and a dusting of cocoa. Its name means “pick me up”—and one bite truly lifts the soul. This version gives you a complete guide with flavor, creativity, and tradition in every spoonful.

✅ Ingredients

For the Cream Layer:

  • 500 g mascarpone cheese
  • 4 large egg yolks
  • ¾ cup (150 g) granulated sugar
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream, cold
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)

For the Coffee Dip:

  • 1½ cups (360 ml) strong espresso or very strong coffee, cooled
  • 2 tbsp coffee liqueur (Marsala, Kahlúa, or rum—optional)

For Layering:

  • 30–36 ladyfinger biscuits (Savoiardi)
  • Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)
  • Dark chocolate shavings (optional)

✅ Instructions (Step-by-Step)

1. Make the Cream Base

  • In a bowl, whisk egg yolks and sugar until pale and creamy.
  • Add mascarpone and mix gently until smooth.

2. Whip the Cream

  • In another bowl, beat the cold heavy cream to stiff peaks.
  • Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture slowly to keep it airy.
  • Add vanilla if using.

3. Prepare the Coffee Mix

  • Combine cooled espresso with liqueur (optional) in a shallow dish.

4. Dip the Ladyfingers

  • Quickly dip each ladyfinger (1–2 seconds per side). Don’t soak!

5. Layer the Dessert

  • Arrange one layer of dipped ladyfingers in a dish (20×20 cm / 8×8 in).
  • Spread half of the mascarpone cream on top.
  • Add another layer of soaked biscuits.
  • Spread the remaining cream.

6. Finish & Chill

  • Dust generously with cocoa powder.
  • Optional: sprinkle chocolate shavings.
  • Refrigerate at least 4–6 hours (overnight is best).

✅ Methods (Alternative Styles)

  • Without eggs: Use only whipped cream + mascarpone + sugar.
  • Cup version: Layer in individual glasses.
  • Chocolate tiramisù: Add melted dark chocolate to the cream.
  • Fruit twist: Add raspberries, strawberries, or mango layers.

✅ History

Tiramisù was born in the Veneto region of Italy in the 1960s or 70s. Originally served as an energizing dessert using coffee and eggs, it quickly became an international icon. Today, it’s one of the world’s most beloved Italian creations.

✅ Benefits

  • No baking required

✅ Formation (Assembly Logic)

  1. Base (ladyfingers)
