Tiramisu - original Italian recipe

[icxcrex]

@peacesalaam, you can use heavy whipping cream. The table cream has an "acid" component that is really delicious mixed with all the sugar, etc. I haven't ever had anyone turn my particular "twist" dwn

[icxcrex]

Sadly in the States, they wash off the cuticle of the egg. That is why you must refrigerate them and why "sammy" can enter the shell. In Mexico (and probably other countries) they do not wash the cuticle, and we don't have to refrigerate them. I only fridge them if I need to separate them (easier). :)

[MileyRoss]

Should I put the eggs in the fridge before I use them to kill the salmonella ? ^_^ I just can't wait to try this simple recipe~

[yellowsaffron]

@MileyRoss I'm afraid that the only way to kill salmonella is to expose eggs to very high temperatures...

[FragNet0]

@MileyRoss Just wash em with boiling water on the outside the salmonella is in the feaces

[needabox2live]

Wait.. so that's it?? Tiramisu is so good, I've always assumed it'd be really complicated to make. But that seems surprisingly simple. Thanks for the recipe, I'll have to give it a try!:)

[yellowsaffron]

@needabox2live It's one of the simplest dessert to make!

[annnanas1991]

thanks for the recipe, tried it loved it, except i think my whites were not firm enough

[yellowsaffron]

@annnanas1991 You can have a look at our tutorial! youtube.com/watch?v=gRXTO8RHgn­g

[chouana]

Would have been better if she actually cut a peice out.

[DylanBailey38]

How much rum would you add to the filling for flavor?

[yellowsaffron]

@DylanBailey38 1 shot or up to your taste

[sieurdesushi]

I noticed that this recipe did not use marsala wine or any other alcohol. Is alcohol an authentic ingredient in tiramisu?

[yellowsaffron]

@sieurdesushi The original recipe is without alcohol, but it's very common to add a bit of marsala or rum to the coffee

[1AppleofEden]

@yellowsaffron -Brandy not rum

[PeaceSalaam]

Thank you for the useful replies, my God bless u all!

[KookkoO1177]

I was watching Britney Spears and I don't know why youtube suggest me to this! Now, I'm hungry!!!!!!!

[selfish4811]

tell me how many mascarpone should i put in gramms?

[yellowsaffron]

@selfish4811 It's 500 grams

[Bear1620]

do you continue layering the lady finger's, marscapone and cocoa powder until you reach the top of the pan or is it just the two layers? I've made tons of cakes but never had a request for Tiramisu and I want to make this for my Nonno's 80th birthday.

[yellowsaffron]

@Bear1620 Usually it's just 2 layers, but you can make more, if you like!

[GoldfishLight]

anyone else like IN LOVE with the voice?

[PeaceSalaam]

You mean you eat the eggs uncooked? Isn't that dangerous to the health?

[yellowsaffron]

@PeaceSalaam You need super-fresh eggs

[BunnySpangle1]

@PeaceSalaam I was worried about this and did a little research.

"The UK Food Standards Agency did a study in 2004, in which they tested some 28,000 eggs on sale in shops. They found contamination on a few of the shells but no salmonella inside any of the eggs. The US Department of Agriculture did a theoretical study in 2002, which estimated salmonella contamination in eggs as 1 in 20,000."

[HollyTheFireNinja]

@PeaceSalaam You're not in any real danger, really. Some athletes eat up to 10 raw eggs for their training.

[PennyLester]

@PeaceSalaam When you mix eggs with sugar it has a chemical reaction that cooks the eggs.

[baineth]

@PeaceSalaam Make sure the eggs are not cracked and you washed them thoroughly.

[bozena271]

@PeaceSalaam you can place eggs in boiling water for 2-3 seconds to be sure salmonella is killed

[pandabear987123]

@PeaceSalaam I heard it's actually safe as long as the eggs are fresh.

[blusuck]

damn you narrator i wanted to hear the sexy accent

[yellowsaffron]

@blusuck You can listen to the recipe in Italian! youtube.com/watch?v=06Nf_YVoow­Q

[chewaqoo]

Hey Sonia... I Love the way you make all those Italian desserts, looks so easy and yummy. :)

[yellowsaffron]

@chewaqoo Thanks, keep following our recipes!

[TheDancequeen1006]

the music in the background is epic

[superbiker225]

I missed a little alcohlic sweet beverage (Amaretto - Marsala, or vin santo)

anyway, your recipe is good enough for chidren and pregnant women

[yellowsaffron]

@superbiker225 If you're not a kid or pregnant, you can add some liqueur to the coffee, such as rum, marsala, amaretto, etc...!

[laurapetrache]

OH, I see it now, cool, I like it even more now, must be very efficient.

[laurapetrache]

i like your kitchen, where is your stove?

[yellowsaffron]

@laurapetrache On my right side, it's an induction stove!

[IrynkaUA]

Grazie per la ricetta! è molto gustoso

[shaemae123]

I made this once at school and it was SO delicous.

[spacemanspiff33]

Uhh you started with the yolks, then all of a sudden you had egg whites O.o

[yellowsaffron]

@spacemanspiff33 You must beat the egg whites with half of the sugar until stiff separately, then you add it to the yolk mixture as described

[TheBanditKingKir]

Who is the speaker that is translating/dictating?

[xoxoPitachara]

xD read the captions, youtube is really messed up :/

[aurasb]

i don't like tiramisu because the cream has row eggs, not cooked.

[WahyuWibie]

Make your own ladyfingers, lady!!

[yellowsaffron]

@WahyuWibie You can find the ladyfinger recipe in Italian on giallozafferano.it or in English on the YellowSaffron iphone application h t t p://itunes.apple.com/app/giall­ozafferano-recipes/id384387249­?mt=8 !

[Byzancez]

When I'm preparing Tiramisu I'm using Marsala wine/or Amaretto/mixed with the espresso and instead of raw egg yolks/yuck/ I prepare Zabaglione.As some others suggest , Tiramisu is best served after it rests for 24 hours in the fridge.

[markiana528]

she just skipped the most important step....

[WahyuWibie]

@markiana528 what's that?

[KravaLLT]

You like to cook? Marry me!

[lrnecdehy]

I use pastry cream in my Tiramisu just to make sure the bacteria will die.

[TheFearFamous]

@lrnecdehy ...?

[HEILEEN]

for this to be the ORIGINAL italian recipe ,.... you have to add Amaretto to the coffe and add NO sugar in the coffe.. the coffe has to be dark ..

[Ihatemaxpigmentation]

its way better if you let it rest for at least 24 hours in my opinion. and i love to add some jamaican rum to the espresso!

[icxcrex]

When I cannot find mascarpone (I live in Mexico), I use Philly Cream Cheese (190g) and blend 1/4 cup of "crema de mesa" or table cream. I have tasted them together and there is precious little difference (other than the price) - YIKES! Make your own lady fingers, too because the flavour is really incredible. The Golden Saffron is the best at Italian recipes!

[yellowsaffron]

@icxcrex Thanks! It's Yellow Saffron... ;-)

[icxcrex]

@yellowsaffron whoops, sorry, LOL! I speak better English and Spanish ... the word does sound very similar to "yellow" doesn't it?

All that fun aside, I love this site - I have encyclopedias on Italian cooking, but when I see the true masters make this stuff, it's inspiring! Thanks! :)

[20900278]

@icxcrex busca en walmart o sams seguro encuentras

[PeaceSalaam]

@icxcrex I want to use cream cheese too but what is "crema de mesa" ? If I can't find it what else I can use with the cream cheese? thanks! :) 

[Saakshe]

Awesome, Grazie! I added 3 Tablespoons of Fra Angelico to the espresso. I also had to add an extra half cup of espresso, so I would recommend making more to begin with so that you don't have to stop halfway through to make more. This recipe was so light and fluffy and was the perfect ending to a recent dinner party.

[r3dkitt3n]

I made this recipies and is the perfect tiramisu ever.But i dont use 6eggs becouse is too much 3big eggs or 4medium(means M size),also i add 150-200ml whiskey in coffe and vanila sugar ,belive me is amazing in this combination :-) And 1pack of lady fingers is enough for 250grams of mascarpone.I use 2packs and 500grams of mascarpone and for sirup 2large coffes.

[candypalau14]

This is the best recipe for Tiramisu i've ever come across!!!:) Thank you for posting this!

[mohd995]

would you tell me how many grams or ml in 2.3 cups of mascarpone cheese ?

[yellowsaffron]

@mohd995 It's 500 grams

[Aeroreido]

ohh no i took 250 grams mascarpone cheese!!!

[22g2kg]

I have a question, Is there any substitute for the egg yolks and egg whites? I am a vegetarian and don't consume eggs at all.

[yellowsaffron]

@22g2kg Yes, you can use only mascarpone cheese and heavy cream, but I'm not sure about quantities since I've never tried it. Be careful to use biscuits that are not made with eggs, since Ladyfingers are!

[misssummerdress]

@yellowsaffron Hey! maybe you can look at the recipe from Laura Vitale. You can search for Tiramisu and Laura in the Kitchen, and you will find it. It is with heavy cream and mascarpone:) Good luck!

[Diogene1936]

custard??? but wtf of traslator is?

[4teensanime]

why does it say that the vid has been removed by the user ? :((

[yellowsaffron]

@4teensanime It has not been removed!

[Vicsjx]

Hi again, one more question I've come up with, can you place the tiramisu into the freezer? Or does it change in taste or texture if put in the freezer.

Thank You!

[yellowsaffron]

@Vicsjx Yes, you can freeze it

[clubpenguin1212100]

hi, would you be able to substitute the espresso for hot chocolate or something similar?

[yellowsaffron]

@clubpenguin1212100 You may substitute coffee with chocolate milk, for example

[Vicsjx]

Hi, I like your recipes and tried the Tiramisu. Ran into a few problems. My custard mixture after folding in the eggwhites seems to be watery, does it mean that my egg whites haven't been beaten to sufficient stiffness? I also tried to make the Tiramisu as shown in your preview image, the one on a square plate, but maybe my mixture isn't firm, it overflowed when I was at the second layer of lady's finger.

Question: How do I make a Tiramisu like in your Preview Image? Do I need to use a mold?

[yellowsaffron]

@Vicsjx Yes, I think the problem was that you didn't beat the egg whites for enough time. With regard to the preview image, it is an individual serving, which is assembled directly on the plate: arrange a layer of Ladyfingers, pipe some custard on it (with a pastry bag) and sprinkle with cocoa powder, then repeat...

[Vicsjx]

@yellowsaffron Thank you for your information! I'll be trying it out again, hopefully this time I will be able to make it without a container, since I'm making it as a birthday cake, it would probably look better if made on a cake base.

Just to check another, how soaked are the Ladyfingers supposed to be? I tried soaking mine, at the time of almost laying it down on the dish, the outer of the Ladyfingers were almost going to crumble in as it softened and soaked thoroughly.

[yellowsaffron]

@Vicsjx You can soak the Ladydingers to your taste, if you don't like them soggy, dip them in coffee for just 1 second! If not specified, we refer to regular eggs.

[Vicsjx]

Oh and I'm sorry, I wanted to check also, what size of egg do you use? Regular (55g - 63g)or Large (63g - 73g)?

Thank You!

[clubpenguin1212100]

it looks amazingly yummy!

[cren567]

i like my saffron a bit more orange...

[starbucksizyummy013]

If it matters, what size is your pan supposed to be?

[yellowsaffron]

@starbucksizyummy013 Mine is about 8 x 9 inches (20 x 24 cm)

[GoldenPearl13]

PLEASE REPLY BACK ; {ANYONE} WHAT TYPE OF COCOA POWDER DO YOU HAVE TO USE ? ; SWEET OR LIKE A BITTER ONE ?

[yellowsaffron]

@GoldenPearl13 Unsweetened cocoa powder!

[jmgabriel99]

Hi how do you get the egg white's to be so stiff. I can't get the egg white stiff like you do, can you teach your technique please. every time i try it turns in to water. thank you.

[yellowsaffron]

@jmgabriel99 This is the cooking tutorial in which I explain how to do! youtube.com/watch?v=gRXTO8RHgn­g

[MrSumo1977]

@jmgabriel99 you put some suger whit the egg white's and mix when you can pull out peeks whit a finger its ok

[giwrgosath1]

ορεο

[terrons87]

insieme al mascarpone mettete la panna fresca da montare!!!! il risultato è ottimo.

[terrons87]

povera italia!!!! il tiramisù piu buono mai assaggiato in italia è al ristorante "la conchiglia" situato a legnano provincia di milano

[SmotPoker09]

@terrons87

azz io abito vicinissimo a legnano. grz del konsiglio!

[poopersooper123]

would it be alright to add a splash of kahlua? or would that ruin the recipe?

[yellowsaffron]

@poopersooper123 Yes, you can add a bit of liqueur to the coffee, usually it's rum or marsala, but I think kahlua is fine, too

[minatahyuga]

I want to make one and eat it, but what if I get sick because of eating raw eggs?

[yellowsaffron]

@minatahyuga You must be sure that the eggs are fresh. This is a method to check it: put an egg in a bowl of water: if it sinks to the bottom, it’s fresh.

[angelofmusicangel]

i love the recipes!! Thank you!!! greets from The Netherlands

[lumi1128]

You need to cook the eggs first over double boiler with the sugar until it's reached 155 degrees to kill the bacteria and salmonella. Other way the video looks great.

Please check my video to see how we need to cook the eggs and sugar with double boiler by clicking on my name. Thanks!

[nelumvia]

@DollyxBeauty just about all cakes and sweet desserts have as much or often, even MORE sugar. You have to realise that 10 tbps is for a whole tiramisu, each portion has much less... and if u dont eat it everyday its ok :P

[spongebob2789]

in your opinion, which would be better; savoardi or pavesinin biscuits?

because theres alot of debate regarding this

[yellowsaffron]

@spongebob2789 Savoiardi is definitely the original ingredient

[videofreakmanic123]

Absolutely no regard for salmonella

[r3ddevill]

yeeeee...finally this is the recipe i use here in Romania and finally someone who is doing it like i dooooo...i sow many different kinds of tiramisu' (i dont have the u with the apostrophe) and this is the original. Ive been for 8 years in italy and here in Romania i am using this recipe from more then 7...(last 2 years ive made 4 or 6 i dont recall)

Personally i dont accept to ruin the flavor of the good coffee with rum or other spirits, and if i may i give a hint, use high quality sugar :D:D:D

[mypeople33]

in France we do ourselves the biscuit!!

[EmmaVal]

Thank you for the recipe, I will definitely try it.

[Metrinis]

Thumbs up if your eating tiramisu right now

[ProfessorJones7]

My cream was quite liquid even after I let the tiramisu set one full night in the refrigerator. What did I do wrong ?

[yellowsaffron]

@ProfessorJones7 Probably you didn't beat the eggs until stiff peaks form

[ProfessorJones7]

@yellowsaffron

They were stiff to the point I could turn the bowl upside down without having them fall.

[yellowsaffron]

@ProfessorJones7 Did you use them immediately? Because if you let them stay even only for 10 minutes they may lose water and stiffness...

[ProfessorJones7]

@yellowsaffron

Yes used them immediately and folded them into the cream cautiously. Maybe my savoiardi were too soaked with coffee ? I will try the recipe again whenever I get the chance.

[yellowsaffron]

@ProfessorJones7 It may be so! Let me know about your second effort...

[ocelotxp]

@ProfessorJones7 You want to dip the lady fingers in only half-way, flip them over, and then place them in the dish. Gravity will help to evenly distribute the liquid. Dunking the whole thing in the liquid will make them soggy. Discard any unused liquid.

[r3ddevill]

@ProfessorJones7 i had the same problem with the cream...the sugar is the problem, i first believed the fault was of the savoiardi, then of the coffee, but after some time i saw that if i use better quality sugar it gets how it should (after that i forgot and used again inferior sugar and was the worst case scenario with a kinda of pudding overnight), i dont know a real explanation, but it should be the quantity of humidity in the sugar that ruins the cream, or maybe even the solubility...

[andresignacioh]

@ProfessorJones7 I live by the italian border and we make (at the restaurant I work at) a sabayon... that is we mix the eggs and sugar (we add a bit of water and dark rum) and we simmer it as we whisk it till it's firm... it always works!

[yellowsaffron]

@andresignacioh This is our zabaione recipe! youtube.com/watch?v=iHwpDcxGhu­0

[seg070043]

can i replace mascarpone cheese with whipping cream?

[yellowsaffron]

@seg070043 Yes, but it won't be tiramisu!

[haldorh]

Where did the remaining sugar go? Into the coffee?

[yellowsaffron]

@haldorh Half of the sugar is mixed with the egg yolks and the other half with the egg whites, to which you'll add the mascarpone and yolk mixture

[YoungFresh718]

@yellowsaffron i guess someone was not paying attention to the details given in the video

[yellowsaffron]

@missyceycey It's the same

[jrajesse]

Marry me Sonia!!

[3rdshifted]

arent those eggs basically raw? That freaks me out I dont want salmonella!!

[nr98001]

@3rdshifted Good lord, you aren't going to get sick from raw eggs. People eat them ALL the time. So sick of idiot American thinking.

[2LTDarcius]

@nr98001 agreed. if you properly wash the egg's before cracking them there is no risk at all of illness. only the outer shell has any sort of nasty bacteria on it. so if you wash it no problem.. unless you are using cracked eggs lol raw isnt going to kill anyone :P

[ThrasherMike83]

@nr98001

Well, eat raw eggs from idiot American chickens and you will know.

[78dma]

I dont get, so you first separate the yolks of the eggs from the whites, then you mix the sugar with the yolks till it dissovles, then you add the whites with the rest of the sugar, and mix, am I right? Please reply!!!!!!

[yellowsaffron]

@78dma Yes! Remember that before adding the egg white and sugar mixture to the yolk and sugar mixture, you have to combine the latter with the mascarpone cheese

[AV8FREAK]

@78dma becuz if u make it seperate the egg white gets a lot of volume!the mascaporne and the whole mixrture gets more airy!gets softer and creamy!u do this 4 example also when u do mousse chocklate !mouse means foam! i am sorry 4 my english!from germany

[jennyvasquezrevelo]

Kalua, is what she missing! madonnna

[mikha1978]

@jennyvasquezrevelo no kalua.....MARASCHINO

[keniaskitchen]

she's missing the alcohol... what taste better rum or brandy?

[yellowsaffron]

@keniaskitchen It's up to your taste!

[shakar92]

what? no alcohol? what an amateur ..

[nelumvia]

@shakar92 the original recipe has no alcohol. Amateur :P

[k1mochi]

is it good to use a mini food chopper to blend the egg white or yolk with sugar and the cheese?

[yellowsaffron]

@k1mochi Yes, if it has the whisk attachment

[rswati31]

I really liked your way of teaching...i mean the way you give all the deatils abt the recepie...:)

[kckcblueberry]

can you soak the lady fingers a little more in the coffee since i like sucking the coffee when i eat it?

[yellowsaffron]

@kckcblueberry Of course you can, it's up to your taste!

[yellowsaffron]

@DollyxBeauty It's 10 tbsp of sugar... but you can use less if you prefer

[EvanC0912]

can i sift in cinnamon powder along with the cocoa powder too? i think it will taste and smell better. thanks!

[yellowsaffron]

@EvanC0912 Of course! Let me know the result

[EvanC0912]

@yellowsaffron wow.. i've tried the cinnamon powder trick and it taste greatt.. so decadent and incredibly smells good. the cinnamon makes the tiramisu even more down to earth and 'homemade'. love it so much.! thanks for the recipe!

[yellowsaffron]

@EvanC0912 You're welcome... thanks for the suggestion :-)

[olgabieber]

Someone please tell me is it safe to eat raw eggs like that???

[AmberFur]

@olgabieber yes it is

[syn010110]

@olgabieber As long as the eggs are fresh, it shouldn't be an issue. I wouldn't try it with cheap-ass bargain grocery eggs, though. Use good-quality eggs when you want to eat them raw.

[tionino3070]
