Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
How to make homemade classic tiramisu? Prepare the products. Mascarpone and eggs should be at room temperature, take them out of the refrigerator in advance. Start cooking with the cream. How to make mascarpone cream? Break the eggs and separate the whites from the yolks. Do this as carefully as possible so that not a drop of yolk gets into the whites, otherwise they may not whisk well. Place the yolks in a bowl and add the sugar.
Step 2:
Beat with a mixer or whisk into a light creamy mass.
Step 3:
Add mascarpone and beat with a mixer on slow speed or with a whisk until smooth.
Step 4:
In a separate bowl at high speed, whisk the egg whites into a strong foam. Check the readiness, turn the bowl over, the finished mass should not flow out of the bowl.
Step 5:
Add the whipped whites to a bowl with the whipped yolks and mascarpone. Add the vanilla extract and mix with a spatula until a homogeneous cream is obtained. Stir the cream with careful movements from the bottom up, as if burying the proteins, so as not to damage their air structure.
Step 6:
Take care of the dessert base, which is a cookie. Pre-cook and cool a strong espresso. Add cognac to the cooled coffee. Dip the cookies in the coffee. Do not keep cookies in coffee for a long time, no more than 5 seconds, it can get very soft!
Step 7:
Put cookies in a tray with a high rim. You can also cook dessert in a serving bowl — cremans.
Step 8:
Put the cream on top.
Step 9:
Lay out the cookies again and cover with cream on top.
Step 10:
Sprinkle cocoa powder on top through a sieve. Put the dessert in the refrigerator for 3 hours. Serve tiramisu, cut it into portions, garnish with berries and a sprig of mint to taste. Enjoy your meal!
From Italian tiramisu translates as "cheer me up", which is due to its nutritional properties and the presence of coffee in the ingredients. There is no exact version of the appearance of this dessert. Many historians are inclined to believe that his recipe was invented in the 60s in the Alle Beccherie restaurant in Treviso. Chef Roberto Linguanotto, who has worked as a pastry chef in Germany for a long time, combined recipes for Bavarian sweets with the Italian tradition of giving children yolk whipped with sugar for general strengthening. And so a new dessert was born.
For the first time the word "tiramisu" appeared on the pages of the Italian language dictionary by Sabatini Coletti in 1980. And the tiramisu recipe itself was first published in 1983 in the book "Veneto Sweets" by Giovani Capnista.
Since raw eggs are used for dessert, choose fresh and tested eggs, rinse them thoroughly with soda before breaking.
If you disdain to use raw eggs in desserts, then replace the whipped whites with whipped cream. And beat the yolks in a water bath.
How do I know if an egg is fresh? Break it into a separate container. First of all, there should be no unpleasant smell. The protein of fresh eggs will be transparent and clean. The yolk should not spread and will be shiny, convex, homogeneous.
Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.
