[pastryparrot1]

Hahaha! Great start Marc! You are just so funny! I love your videos! Have a wonderful weekend! ~ Mary Ann

[ComeDietWithMe]

AT 10 SECONDS ALREADY LOVE THIS VIDEO! ..."I don't care"

[Perroquet51]

@ComeDietWithMe Thanks for watching :-)

[Perroquet51]

@iwakocupcake I've heard of using sponge cake. As long as it's good, whatever works, right? Thanks for stopping by :-)

hi,

I really hope you will answer this question i have. Is it possible if i substitute Marsala Wine (1cup) with the same amount of brandy? My dad says that Brandy has about 40% alcohol? The other recipes i have found includes only 1tsp of brandy, sugar, eggs and mascarpone. These recipes are really quite simple compared to yours. However, i really want to try your recipe and i need to know if i can substitute marsala wine with brandy. Also, how many grams of mascarpone cheese is 1 pound?Thank

[Perroquet51]

@simplybakes I honestly don't know if the amounts would be the same. Brandy is strong so you might want to use less the first time, maybe try 1/4 cup brandy to 1 1/2 cups espresso. I would also sprinkle a little of the grated chocolate between the layers as well as on top. Try to use real espresso (get some at a coffee shop if you need to.)

[hizzha0601]

u only dipped one surface of the lady finger I thought we should dip both face is it right if I dip both face ?

[Perroquet51]

@RobWillieJesse " I could eat your Tiramisu 3 times a day for a week. " What a lovely thing to say ;-)

I'll have to learn to make it vegan.

[Albertoskitchen]

You said it is not the Italian dessert but actually you came pretty close to the zabaione variation of tiramisu. Another way to make it without raw eggs is making a very hot syrup with 1 part water and 3 parts sugar and pour it very slowly into the yolks while beating them with an el. whisk. Once it cools down, mascarpone can be added and then, with a spatula, some whip cream. Also, you can try with grated chocolate instead of cocoa.

[Perroquet51]

@Albertoskitchen Alberto, thank you so much for your comment. In fact, I was thinking of making this again, soon, so I will try your suggestions. Do you have a cooking channel?

[applebaby132]

lol awesome video everrrr

[Perroquet51]

@applebaby132 Well, thank you, applebaby!

Marc

[LukaIsntLuka]

what a great video! I am currently editing a video with my own version of Tiramisu :-) I liked how you put it all together! :-)

[Perroquet51]

@LukaIsntLuka Thanks, Ruthie :-) I'll watch for yours.

[maadmaestro]

You know what you're doing there all right...and I know you yanks like your coffee but, jesus!...strong coffee, cocoa and chocolate?...If I ate that I wouldn't sleep for a year!!...LOL

[GIZCHOPS]

Haha, brilliant Marc! Wow it's a lengthy process making tiramisu! I have it sometimes, but I'm never quite sure whether I like it. Always seems a bit too rich. Maybe I need to try a homemade one rather than just a supermarket one bought in a pot. =D

[Perroquet51]

Tiramisu in coffee shops is usually good but I can imagine that in a grocery deli, it's way too sweet (as are most deli desserts). This is rich but not so sickeningly sweet--at least not for me.

[longhairred]

Looks really good Marc! You make it seem so simple and uncomplicated!

LOL@the disclaimer!!!

[UncleBym]

Great video Marc! I LOVE Tiramisu! Marsala, btw, is the 'proper' ingredient for the Sabignone (sp?), tho' I've used Grand Marnier instead (talk about sweet) and I've subbed Kahlua for the Marsala in the espresso. Being rather portly, I'm heavy handed with the shaved chocolate...*sigh* I like your version tho...less sweet is better for many reasons! Thanks again, I love your cooking segments. Now if you could bring some Tiramisu over, I'll brew up the coffee! LOL! Be Well!

[phekwig]

That made for an ambitious project... I was imagining how it tasted as you added each ingredient... See, if I tried making something like that I'd just eat the ladyfingers, drink the coffee, and forget about it. Such is my patience for cooking :)

[OceanTownPictures]

I am lucky I even know where the kitchen is! I am so clueless when it comes to food, I'd starve to death if it were not for Wylde! Hearing you list ingredients and techniques made me a nervous wreck! lol Watch those zippers! :) -Steven-

[kismet0717]

My absolute fav Marc. I love the adding of Marsala. Now I have an excuse to make dessert with my Chicken Marsala. I need to use up that extra wine anyway...Right? hehehe

Thx... this is going on my recipe list!

HuGz Schweetie!

[PrincessDiana161]

LOL I love that you said ... you dont care, you dont live it Italy... I friggin LOVE YOU!!

I still get hate on my Rigatoni Carbonara video from Italy ... epic hate from Italy LOL

What a great recipe... thanks so much Marc ♥

[Perroquet51]

Diana, I absolutely was thinking of you and your experience when I said it LOL

[PrincessDiana161]

you should attach this video to that one... let the Italian hate parade begin!!! baahahahahaha

[Jinxie228]

Oooooooooh looks sooo good. Thanks for sharing! LOL@ at Lesley's comment below "and other things" :)

[LeSaMilano]

I've *tatste-tested* tiramisu' in dozens of restaurants throughout Italy, I still proudly brandish them on my hips - I can say that I don't think one of them ever thought to put marsala in the recipe - sounds like a great compliment to the espresso, mascarpone, cream and cocoa.

There goes the diet! Oh well- it wasn't much of one anyway!

thanks for sharing your recipe - and other things ;)

[anmoose]

This does NOT look, in any way shape or form, like something that'll help me unload the 20 pounds I'm trying to get rid of.

How amazingly convenient to note that the bottle of Marsala contained *exactly* one cup of wine. Graham Kerr at least used to always let us see his bottomless wine glass...

Not that I want to be the one that mentions this, but those black lines across the screen... with the writing in them... well... umm... they weren't all exactly in the right place......

[Perroquet51]

Actually, 2 glasses of wine :-) But I think Graham was right. The bottle is a glass.

[anmoose]

Haha! I've heard the "two glasses" bit before. Two glasses = two 16 oz tumblers... :-P

Well... at least in my kitchen they do...

I remember one of Graham's shows, where he started working up some wonderful recipe with a full bottle of wine at the side. It was among the ingredients. By the time he got to needing "a short slurp" for the recipe, the bottle was empty. He made an issue of blaming the crew while he uncorked another he had under the counter. It was hilarious.

[MGB1000]

lmao...Marc you are a mess. The pants thingy was funny. LOL, I cant believe you didnt ask anyone to come over and have some. You need to start mailing this stuff out when you make it. It looked good....but fattening.

[Perroquet51]

I am a mess, aren't I?

Yes, that's the problem with desserts, they're fattening :-(

[LehighSaengerbund]

OMGosh I HAVE to show this to Herm. This is his FAVORITE desert.

[Perroquet51]

I wish I had had someone to share it with cuz at least half of it will go to waste :-(

[77nova454]

I realy enjoy your cooking vedeos marc

[Perroquet51]

Thank you, sweetie :-)

[realnutty01]

You can come and cook for me any time hun x.x..

[Perroquet51]

I'd do it, too.

[xyzllii]

Looks a lot of work...but well done you for doing it..!

[Perroquet51]

It really isn't that much work, just too much waiting time.

[PrincePageant]

Great stuff, was that the first course? yum yum, great video.

[Perroquet51]

haha! Actually, it was the only course for that meal. I pigged out.

[PrincePageant]

Must have been real nice, sometimes it is the best meal, a creamy coffee desert or trifle, I love trifle, very creamy.

[yescandles]

Ohh Marc, I have to give this one a try. It is not easy but the rewards look like it is worth the effort.! Yummmmmy

[Perroquet51]

It's really not difficult, Michael, just a bit time consuming with no immediate rewards.

[MrRandomWritings]

How come you never get splattered with cream when you are whisking or miss the bowl and pour stuff all over the worktops? Or maybe the zip at half mast was to distract us from kitchen disasters!

Looks like a yummy desert/breakfast!

[Perroquet51]

Jump cuts are good for disguising kitchen disasters. Of course, I didn't show the part where I had to remove and transfer the already cream-covered ladyfingers from the larger pan to the smaller one.

[MrRandomWritings]

hope you licked off the excess before you served it to your guests - presentation is so important!

[memphisdrean]

looks delish 

loved the double exposure at the/mask thing at the end

[Perroquet51]

Thank you, Memphis :-)

[mysteryglo]

Wow, that looks so good! Love Tiramisu!! xoxo

[Perroquet51]

Tiramisu is one of the few desserts that I really like. I'm a little ticked off at myself for forgetting to extend the photo beyond the video in the final edit. Maybe I'll try to add it to my blog.

[Bl4zz3r]

mm yummy homemade tiramisu I want some :)

[Perroquet51]

I would be happy to share it with you, Nik. Was way too much for one person.

[1DRock37167]

Amen for making it YOUR way!

Looks good, you had me at mascarpone ;-)

[Perroquet51]

After looking at hundreds of so-called authentic recipes, I decided to just pick a couple work with them.

[audionautix]

wow..it better be delicious it looks really fattening!!

What a ton of work....whew! Nice video.

Do more recipes.....but next time...zip up!! LOL!!

[Perroquet51]

5 eggs, a pound of cheese, whipped cream, wine, sugar? What's fattening about that?

Yes, I'll try be more careful about those wardrobe malfunctions. I think there already is a naked chef on YT.

[robertpina99]

There's something about cooking videos. I actually enjoy watching them. I liked this one a lot. I've never had Tiramisu, but it's on my list of things to eat. That and chocolate covered ants.

[AnnyaMoon]

Looks excellant! Id like to try that sometime. I agree somethings are just too sweet for mornings. Sweeter isnt always better. Cept it was sweet that you told about your back strip. lol Good cover up. ;p

[bowlingballout]

Saturday mornings were made for Tiramisu!!!!

[Perroquet51]

You mean like, on the sixth day, Let there be tiramisu?

[Dlorezzz]

Marc that looks delicious. I always assumed it was very hard to make but now I may just try this when I have a special event going on , such as my upcoming birthday..

[Perroquet51]

Feb. 2 :-)

[Dlorezzz]

OMG you remembered !!

[livelifealwaystoo]

Open fly.  You tease.

[Perroquet51]

I didn't mean to, honest :-)

[kateam1975]

did zip you pants aaaa: ) lol

[Perroquet51]

LOL ;-)

[Perroquet51]

I wish you were here so I could share with you. There's way too much for me.

[julciti]

Bravissimo !

[Perroquet51]

Grazie :-)

[PooHunny69]

I love tiramisu. One of my faves!

I wonder how many people watched this a second time to catch your open fly! LOL!

[Perroquet51]

lol, and no one would have even known, had I not confessed :-)

[Blinkazoid]

Sweetaholic that I am, I'd probably like this. I've never heard of it before. When I saw the title I thought it was a Japanese dish, LOL.

[Perroquet51]

Ah yes, that famous Japanese dessert, tiramisushi :-)

[snarkdetriomphe]

i miss living in europe, where tiramisu in all variations is as available as donuts are here... cause i'm sure as hell too lazy to make it myself. i love to cook but baking's not my thing so much. but enough about me... you are marvelous.

[Perroquet51]

But, Liz, you don't have to bake it.

[snarkdetriomphe]

i just meant desserts, sweets, afters, you know... you are still marvelous.

[livelifealwaystoo]

Hi Snark!

[DawndeeDALLAS]

that looks so good... and you get to eat all of it yourself...hehe

[Perroquet51]

Not being much of a dessert person, I fear much of it will go to waste :-(

[timido66]

I do not like tiramisu, but I had to watch you or the the very least your open fly.

[Perroquet51]

Maybe I should not have covered the open fly and put an arrow pointing to it to make sure it wasn't overlooked ;-)

[Perroquet51]

ROFLMAO!

[sprichbeeke]

Well, this is one way to have your eggs for breakfast.

Looks sinfully yummy! Btw...Your cooking videos look so professional...when will you star on the "Food Network" ??

[Perroquet51]

Thanks beeke! My cooking videos always sound like they were made by someone with brain damage. Oh wait, they were!

[lolaknows]

Now I've got to go watch it again so I can "see" anything.

[Perroquet51]

LOL, hopefully I caught all those instances.

[lolaknows]

Looks good enough to eat! :-) Yummy!

[simplymarvin]

Intimidating is right. I wanted to make tiramisu once but there were so many different versions, I had no idea where to begin. I think I'll start with this one. Thanks for the upload.

[Perroquet51]

Even in the French Quarter a guy can get arrested for showing his naughty bits :-(

[Perroquet51]

LOL

[lazmalt]

A friend of mine makes the tiramisu with the " biscotti pavesini " if you can find them try to do this with pavesini that they are thinner than ladyfingers ;)

Anyway your tiramisù looks Delicious !

[Perroquet51]

Thanks for the hint, Laz. I will definitely look for those. These were OK, but a bit sweet for my taste.

[blueclouds4me]

Being of Italian heritage I wish to endorse this product as "almost made by Nona"...;-)

Looks delish and I shall try it and get back to ya, which is simply an excuse to being able to chat with you again;)

Hugs

xoxo

[Perroquet51]

Don't say "almost" without telling me how she'd change it! I do want to make this again, you know :-)

[blueclouds4me]

Nona used brandy or cognac, a copper bowl to beat the eggs, AND it MUST be espresso, sorry but you asked;-)

I imagine there are a zillion different versions but my Nono was from Venice and Tiramisu originated from there so just sayin'...Nona always did it Nono's way;)

[Perroquet51]

I would like cognac but probably not brandy since I'm not a fan of it. Espesso is definitely the way to go if you can.

[JustAnotherFatGirl]

Just what I needed. NOT! I knew I shouldn't watch this!

[Perroquet51]

Put it out of your mind, darling. Think celery.

[FatWagar]

I will be over shortly!

[Perroquet51]

Promise?

[anmoose]

Caution! I saw her buying chewing gum...

[hallbe]

Tiramisu is my absolute favorite desert! But, boy, they sure do vary from place to place!!

But, you know...you shouldn't have covered up your fly! You might have had a chance at going viral! ;-)

[Perroquet51]

LOL, in some videos, maybe. But, in a cooking video, I didn't think that was something the average person would want to see ;-)

[sign543]

OOh, looks delicious! Oh yeah, the food looks yummy too. :)

[Perroquet51]

I want you for dessert!

[thizizliz]

Breakfast of Champions for sure! Yummy. I'm going to try this. Thanks for the input regarding reducing the sugar. A good dessert doesn't have to be painfully sweet - sugar just hides quality ingredients! Thanks so much - it looks yummy.

[Perroquet51]

I agree. I love rich, but I'm not to keen on sweet. This wasn't bad but I'd still reduce the sugar just a bit.

[FailAtGame]

I had no idea there was wine in it :o

why did you make so much fluid btw? You only used a tiny bit to dip those biscuits in

[Perroquet51]

FailAtGame, there are recipes without alcohol. As far as the fluid, I asked myself that, too. The original recipe that I adapted this from called for a third layer but I decided two was enough.

[sign543]

I think you make more than you need to ensure the proper proportion of ingredients.

[Perroquet51]

Excellent point!

[anmoose]

Plus you get to drink what's left.

[GreatGig1]

Yum!! I'm glad I was eating when I watched this!  ha! That looks so good! Another for the list of I must try! Love your vids almost as much as I love you...:-) xoxoxoxo

[Perroquet51]

Aww, you say the sweetest things :-)
