My Favourite Tiramisu Recipe! | Chef Jean-Pierre

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.

Separate 7 eggs into yolks and whites.

Let egg whites come to room temperature.

In a bowl, mix 1/4 cup sugar with egg whites and whip until soft peaks form.

In another bowl, mix 55 grams of sugar with egg yolks and cream until pale and creamy.

Slowly add the whipped egg whites to the yolk mixture and blend well.

Sift 1/4 cup cake flour and 3 tablespoons cake flour over the mixture and fold in gently.

Prepare a cookie sheet with parchment paper and non-stick spray.

Spread the batter evenly on the cookie sheet to about half an inch thick.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for about 15 minutes until lightly golden.

Prepare a coffee syrup with strong espresso, sugar, rum, and Kahlua (optional).

Whip 3/4 cup cream until soft peaks form.

In a bowl, mix 1/2 pound of mascarpone cheese with 1/2 cup sugar until smooth.

Layer the ladyfingers with the coffee syrup and mascarpone mixture in a dish.
