Instructions
Egg Yolks Bowl
- Add 35 g Sugar to the 4 egg yolk and whisk them until pale and thick. Add 500 mg Mascarpone Cheese and whisk again until smooth and creamy, set aside.
Egg Whites Bowl
- Whisk the 4 egg white. When they become frothy, add 35 g Sugar and whisk until the egg whites are stiff and glossy. You should be able to turn the bowl upside down and they remain stiff.
Mixing Mascarpone
- Add ⅓ of the Egg Whites Mix to the Egg Yolks Mix and gently fold it in as you would with a cake batter. Continue with the remaining whites a third at a time until it's completed incorporated.
Building The Cake
- Pour the 1 cup Strong Brewed Coffee in a shallow bowl and dip in the 500 mg Savoiardi Biscuits (Lady Fingers). Then, you want to dip them into the liquid quickly (around 1 seconds) whilst turning to soak each side and lay them in a glass or ceramic dish until you have one even layer. You can brake some biscuits to fit your dish.
- Add half of the Mascarpone mixture over the biscuits and spread out in an even layer, top with some grated 24 g Dark Chocolate.
- Top with the grated 24 g Dark Chocolate. I usually leave a tiny amount of it to place at the top layer.
- Continue with another layer of 500 mg Savoiardi Biscuits (Lady Fingers) and Mascarpone as directed above.
- Finally, dust with 1 Tbsp Cocoa Powder and chill in the fridge for roughly 6-8 hours.

This dish cannot be pronounced. It’s impossible. But I made it.
I don’t know what to call it and all my neighbors who tried it said it was the perfect after coffee dessert but also were unable to pronounce it and were left confounded.
How do you pronounce it? Where can I find information on how to pronounce this?
Hi Gina, it sounds like this : tee · ruh · mee · soo. If you search online : “Tiramisu pronunciation” you will find audio of it!
Great, not amazing! Like what I buy in the pastry shops
Uh, ACTUALLY it IS amazing.
C is a coward, and a liar, and disingenuous, and a fool, and a man (or woman) without taste buds, if he/she or however they identify cannot appreciate the subtle genius of these ingredients.
If you left a piece of this in front of me, I would eat it before your fork was placed in front of it.
If you threw this out in the trash, I would dive like a raccoon after it, shamelessly.
No pastry shop can offer such elegance. I should know, I own one of the best in all Alberta.
I would fight C in the streets over my opinion, with respect.
