Now that you know what it is, it’s time you cooked it. You need fresh ingredients to achieve a good dessert. In addition to main ingredients mentioned earlier, you will need sugar, ladyfingers, brewed espresso (or American coffee), whipped cream as well as Kahlua. Depending on your preference, you are free to add other sweetening flavors like butter cream after preparing the Tiramisu. To start off, you need to whisk egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and mix them thoroughly. In this mixture, add the mascarpone cheese and whisk once more till they completely combine.

Besides this mixture, you need to whip egg whites to soft peaks with the remaining sugar. Then fold the mixture into the mascarpone mixture ranging from two to three additions. With the resultant cream, you can spread it into an even layer and soak your cookies into coffee, and arrange them in tight positions on top until they completely cover the even cream layer. Spread the remaining cream over the cookies for the best sight. You should refrigerate this for at least two hours to set the cream. Afterwards, remove it from the refrigerator to settle in room temperature. And, your dessert is ready and can be served cold, not frozen – the reason for its name “semifreddo”

However, opposed to this typical technique, do you want to learn other important tips that can make it even more delicious and fun to prepare? First off, prepare extra coffee for assurance as you can’t exactly know how much coffee ladyfingers will absorb. It is better to have excess of it than limitedly not enough of it. Secondly, do not let the cookies absorb too much liquid to prevent them from becoming too soft and mushy. Do this by dipping the ladyfingers in coffee very fast. Thirdly, do not over refrigerate the mascarpone cheese. Ensure to remove it early enough while whipping it soft before using it. Lastly, using raw eggs can expose you to salmonella contamination. Instead, use zabaglione or whipped cream which will not make a significant difference in taste.

Thereby, if you are up for the challenge, you can make the most amazing authentic tiramisu with those important tips. Just remember, all you need is to dedicate your time for it. It will take a while and tedious longlist preparation procedures but it is worthwhile.
