I show you my Tiramisu recipe in this post. The classic Italian dessert is very high on the popularity scale of the international fan community and is showered with praise.
“Tireme su”(dialect from Triviso) or “Tirami su” (pull me up) means: cheer me up and my soul. The word Tiramisù is said to be the second most used Italian word in the world. The positive effect of the dessert can be attributed to the high proportion of strong coffee combined with sugar and egg. After enjoying it, you can definitely expect a flight of fancy.
Today we want to take a close look at the classic preparation variant with egg, sugar, mascarpone, coffee and cocoa, and bring a reliable variant of dolce italiano to the table.
Have fun and good luck!

3. Tips Around the Tiramisu
Some tips about the preparation and ingredients can be found in the following paragraphs:
Important note on the risk of salmonella:
Please note these points:
–> Use fresh, cooled eggs.
–> Always keep the tiramisu cool.
–> Transport in the thermo box.
–> Do not leave tiramisu at the buffet for hours.
The basic problem of salmonella is eggs and sugar in combination with heat. If you leave the prepared dessert for more than 3-6 hours at summer temperatures, a salmonella nest may develop.
The “Salmos” feel at home in the warm weather in the creamy and sweet environment and multiply abruptly.
Fresh ingredients and clean workmanship, serving in portions and immediately chilling the tiramisu again prevents problems with salmonella.

3.1 What Ladyfingers?
Firmer ladyfingers, traditional Savoiardi or finer and crispier Pavesini are the right choice.
Very dry cookies that quickly become soggy should be avoided.
This is not always easy with products from German supermarkets.
Tip: Put the cookies in, then slowly pour espresso evenly over them. The cookie should just soak up nicely.
3.2 The Right Coffee
Strong espresso from the coffee machine is the first choice. Alternatively, you can prepare and use a thick coffee in the caffettiera.
3.3 Mascarpone
Use traditionally made mascarpone for an authentic taste experience. I personally like to use Italian brand products.
3.4 Alkohol
Traditional recipes from Treviso and Tolmezzo do not contain alcohol.
There is nothing to be said against adding 1-2 teaspoons of Amaretto (Lombard liqueur made from bitter almonds) or Marsala (Sicilian liqueur wine) to the coffee, and it is up to your taste.
3.4 Egg Whites
Whipped egg whites increase the volume of the filling cream. The use is recommended.
3.5 Cream
The addition of liquid cream is not recommended in the above recipe, but remains a matter of taste. Please see the tip for tiramisu without egg at the end of the paragraph.
3.6 Chocolate
Grated chocolate is found in some recipes, you can try chocolate as a supplement or leave it out.
Tiramisu without egg: exchange the eggs and egg yolks for 250 g of cream and whip with cream stiffener. Mix mascarpone directly with powdered sugar, then fold in the cream and use as a cream for filling.

4. Fun Facts and History About Tiramisu
The original origin of the popular dessert is said to be in the Friuli-Venezia Giulia region. There, the hotel and restaurant manager Norma Pielli had already served “tireme su” in the 1950s at the Albergo Roma (Tolmezzo).
At the same time in Veneto, Le Beccherie in Treviso claims the invention of the tiramisu in the 1960s. Alba Campeol is said to have commissioned your chef to invent a new dessert creation. For the first time, the dish demonstrably appeared on the menu in 1972.
In 2017, a decree of the Italian Ministry of Agriculture ruled in favor of the Friuli Venezia Giulia Region and the Tiramisù was included in the PAT list (Prodotti Agroalimentari Tradizionali –> Traditional Agricultural and Food Products).
Tiramisù Day is officially March 21 since 2017.
The Tiramisu World Cup is a competition organized annually in Treviso since 2017 in two categories: Original Recipe and Most Creative Recipe.
