Tiramisu Recipe by Master Chef Gianluca Deiana Abis
Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert that combines layers of coffee-soaked ladyfingers with a rich mascarpone cream filling. Master Chef Gianluca Deiana Abis’s recipe brings a unique balance of flavors and textures, making this dessert an unforgettable experience.
Ingredients:
For the cream layer:
500g mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
4 large egg yolks
100g granulated sugar
300ml heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Pinch of salt
For the soaking mixture:
300ml freshly brewed strong coffee (preferably espresso)
50ml dark rum or Marsala wine (optional)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder (for dusting)
For the ladyfingers:
250g ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits)
Instructions:
Prepare the coffee mixture:
Brew the coffee and let it cool to room temperature.
If desired, mix in the dark rum or Marsala wine to the coffee for added depth of flavor.
Prepare the mascarpone cream:
In a large mixing bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until smooth and creamy, forming a pale yellow mixture.
In another bowl, whip the heavy cream with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form.
Carefully fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture until smooth and combined.
Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, ensuring everything is evenly incorporated.
Assemble the tiramisu:
Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the coffee mixture, making sure not to soak them completely (just a quick dip to avoid sogginess).
Arrange the dipped ladyfingers at the bottom of a 9x9-inch or similar-sized serving dish.
Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the first layer of ladyfingers, smoothing it out evenly.
Repeat the process by dipping the remaining ladyfingers into the coffee mixture and layering them over the cream.
Spread the remaining mascarpone cream over the top layer of ladyfingers.
Chill the tiramisu:
Cover the tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. This allows the flavors to meld together beautifully and the dessert to set.
Serve and garnish:
Just before serving, dust the top of the tiramisu with a light layer of cocoa powder using a fine sieve.
Optionally, garnish with shaved chocolate or chocolate curls for an added touch of indulgence.
Chef’s Tip by Master Chef Gianluca Deiana Abis:
For an authentic taste, be sure to use high-quality mascarpone and espresso. The key to a perfect tiramisu is the balance between the rich cream and the bold coffee flavors. Always allow your tiramisu to set for several hours for the best texture.
Enjoy:
