The Tiramisu Recipe We Made In Italy In The 80s

mascarpone cheese

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: cream cheese

Greek yogurt is lower in fat and calories, while cream cheese is often more affordable.

ladyfingers

🥗Healthier: whole grain ladyfingers

💰Cheaper: sponge cake

Whole grain options provide more fiber, and sponge cake can be a budget-friendly substitute.

Make espresso coffee 1 hour ahead of time and let it cool completely.

Bring eggs to room temperature.

Whisk egg yolks with sugar until pale and slightly bubbly.

Using an electric mixer, whisk egg whites until they form soft peaks.

Gently fold mascarpone into the egg yolk mixture until smooth and well combined.

Carefully mix the whipped egg whites into the mascarpone mixture to keep it airy.

Briefly dip ladyfingers in the cold coffee just enough to coat without soaking them through.

Arrange a layer of soaked ladyfingers in a serving dish.

Spread a layer of mascarpone cream over the ladyfingers.

Add a second layer of dipped ladyfingers, then another layer of cream on top.

Cover with cling film and refrigerate for at least 3 hours to set.

Dust cocoa powder just before serving.
