TIPS
Good mascarpone requires some research: it must be very fresh, delicate, creamy and balanced by a taste that is neither too sweet nor too bitter.
Strictly bitter cocoa. One of the secrets of a good tiramisu is precisely the contrast of flavors.
Savoiardi and that's it!
Curiosities
Why is it called tiramisu?
But the question we have all asked ourselves at least once is: why on earth is tiramisu called that? It seems that the name is due to its very high energy value; on the other hand, that tiramisu is a calorie bomb is somewhat in the public eye. But there are also those who argue that the name was originally thought of in a more mischievous key, referring to its alleged aphrodisiac effects: thus, just a few spoonfuls of this amazing dessert were suggested to "cheer up" and face the pleasures of the alcove.
Tiramisu recipe
Its recipe is really simple. It is made with ladyfingers, soaked in coffee and arranged in layers alternating with a mouth-watering cream made of mascarpone, eggs and sugar, all covered with plenty of cocoa powder. That's it! No other ingredients and no cooking (except, of course, for the coffee).
