Homemade Mascarpone Tiramisu - three recipes for an Italian classic dessert
The most delicate Italian dessert Tiramisu has long been a favorite delicacy of children and adults around the world. Well-soaked in buttercream, Savoyardi biscuits simply melt in your mouth, giving gourmets a true taste delight. The classic Tiramisu dessert is prepared without baking. It is made from ready-made savoiardi biscuit cookies and cream made from mascarpone cream cheese with the addition of raw eggs. But, if you, like me, prefer not to use raw eggs (especially in summer), then you can make a cream of mascarpone cheese and condensed milk . This homemade mascarpone tiramisu will take much less time to prepare, and the mascarpone cream will turn out to be simply delicious and, most importantly, safe. My today's step-by-step recipe with a photo will show how to cook Tiramisu cake at home in three versions. Two no-bake options: classic savoiardi biscuits and regular shortbread biscuits. And the third option is a delicious homemade Tiramisu cake with a biscuit in which blueberries are baked.
How to make Savoiardi Tiramisu
We sprinkle the finished biscuit cookies, laid out in rows on a dish, with strong coffee mixed with cognac, and generously coat with cream.
Lay out the 2nd layer of finished biscuits and repeat the same process.
From a pack of cookies (250 gr) you get 2 layers of "cakes". Set aside for a couple of hours (preferably overnight) in the refrigerator for impregnation and solidification. Sprinkle with cocoa powder just before serving.
I like to use sweet cocoa granules for this purpose. It does not absorb into the cream so quickly, which makes the homemade Tiramisu cake look prettier. If desired, you can pour over the dessert with melted chocolate or use grated chocolate to decorate.
How to make no bake tiramisu with cookies
The process of preparing this type of dessert is the same as the previous one. The only difference is that shortbread cookies should not be sprinkled, but dipped in coffee mixed with cognac. After all, any purchased shortbread sugar cookies are harder than Savoyardi biscuit cookies. I buy the usual rectangular cookies "Baked milk", "Chess" or "Strawberry".
We layer, decorate and cool the cookie Tiramisu cake in the same way as in the first recipe. It turns out the finished dessert is very soft and tender.
How to cook Tiramisu with homemade biscuit
As I found out for myself a long time ago, it is not at all necessary to cook Tiramisu from ready-made cookies. I suggest using biscuit cakes , which are easy to cook at home.
You will say that it will no longer be Tiramisu, but I will not agree with you. The taste of the biscuit cake will be the same as a traditional Italian dessert. After all, Savoyardi cookies are also biscuit. In addition, we will also additionally soak the coffee cakes with cognac, layer with mascarpone and condensed milk cream and decorate with cocoa granules.
Cakes prepared according to the proposed recipes have their own characteristic taste, very similar to the classic Tiramisu , but when cooked at home, they acquire special tenderness and softness, because they are made with love and inspiration.
