Tiramisu Recipe

Recipe and instructions for the wonderful Italian dessert, Tiramisu (with zabaglione - no raw eggs).
Please note - I do not have an alcohol-free version of this recipe. The dish measures about 36cm x 22cm x 8cm (approx 14in x 8.5in x 3in).
People purporting to be Italian keep leaving comments that 'the original recipe' doesn't cook the eggs, or doesn't use Marsala, or doesn't use Kahlua. However I have been assured by many other Italians that they do. I've done my research and there does not seem to be any 'original recipe', or even any agreed-upon origin of the dessert. But whoever it was who first came up with this I am grateful to them for by any other name it would still taste as sweet ;-)

You don't need to keep drizzling the biscuits with more liquid. They will soften as they absorb moisture/flavor from the custard mixture as it sets overnight. Otherwise you are asking for trouble by oversoaking the biscuits.  Nobody likes a soggy tiramisu. If you can see the liquid seeping from the biscuits at all, you have added too much.

Mine's never been soggy - I don't like the water from poached eggs making my toast go soggy either. Yuck! ;-) Maybe savoiardi sponge fingers aren't all created equal and some only need a quick dip. Mine need the extra drizzle or they still have dry, hard bits the next day. I dislike that too. It could also be that my zabaglione cream is "drier" than others and so doesn't keep moisturising the savoiardi. Who knows? Experiment, and you will see...

i cant put wine, any suggestion ?

[MeganEMills]

Is it because of the alcohol? If so then there are alcohol-free wines, including dessert wines, that you might be able to try.

If you can't do that then you could try using more coffee - or hot chocolate, maybe (and you'd end up with a kind of mocha tiramisu...). Regs... Megs

[Jeremy Lucas]

Almost exactly the way I make it. But I like a little rum spritzed on the cookies in addition to the kahlua.

My bro-in-law owns a restaurant and likes to experiment making new dishes all the time. Well, he found this video and made this cake for us (during one of our visits). I must say, I have tasted many different kinds of tiramisu, yet this one is UNBEATABLE. I, very quickly, asked him for a recipe and was very thankful when he sent me here. YUM! Thank you for the great tutorial.
