Tiramisu Piemontese
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 8
- Yields:
-
2 baking dish-full
- Serves:
- 12-16
ingredients
- 700 g mascarpone
- 6 very fresh eggs (essential!!, 5 if eggs are particularly large)
- 100 g sugar
- 1⁄2 cup marsala wine
- 250 ml freshly brewed espresso coffee (not too strong, slightly diluted, (or more)
- 600 g ladyfingers (or savoiardi, if available, biscuits, enough to cover 2 layers)
- pure unsweetened cocoa powder
- sweetened cocoa powder
directions
- Separate eggs. Beat together yolks, sugar, wine and mascarpone until the mixture attains a smooth creamy texture.
- Whip the eggwhite vigorously until it becomes solid--if available, electric whip will help immensely. (do this patiently with "high energy", if it is not solid enough the end result will be soggy and soupy!).
- Carefully fold in the whipped eggwhite into the mascarpone/york mixture, blend them well and evenly.
- Mix 2 teaspoonful of sugar into the coffee, then pour in a container large enough to dip savoiardi/lady fingers comfortably.
- Dip each pieces of biscuits into the coffee quickly, (wet the entire surface for a moment but not until it gets soggy all the way through) lay them neatly in one layer at the bottom of a large square/rectangular baking dish (or 2 medium).
- Pour half of the cream (mascarpone/egg mixture) evenly over the savoiardi, then sprinkle the sweetened cocoa powder to cover the surface.
- Lay another layer of savoiardi on top, repeat with the cream, then top it off with unsweetened pure cocoa powder.
- Chill it in the fridge for a couple of hours before serving.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
My name is Licia, I have been living happily in Rome for 4+years now. My Roman partner Cristiano and I are both enthusiastic foodies, and we love cooking. We also enjoy experimenting with new international ingredients to broaden our culinary horizons, and I am still learning the wonderful world of authentic Italian cuisine every day!!
Some of my other personal interests are physical fitness (which is a good thing to balance out my enthusiasm for good eating, lol!), graphic software (especially adobe photoshop), music, films, digital photography, animals (especially cats!) and travelling.
As much as I adore sweet treats, all kind of cakes, I fare much less in the aspect of baking than other type of cooking. At times they come out good, other times not, for reasons unexplained... :-( I would love to learn much more about it though, and sooner or later perfect the art!!
