If you ask people from different countries: “Which one do you know?”, For sure, most of them will answer: “Tiramisu!” Thanks to the simplicity of the recipe and the extraordinary taste, it has become a bestseller among sweet dishes. Its options are so numerous that a few years ago a hobby arose: be sure to order tiramisu in various restaurants in order to replenish the taste box with new sensations. In Italy, they say that all families of the republic have their own kind of dessert. At the same time, everyone believes that the recipe is the best.
The history of tiramisu is relatively short. It is so good that several regions of Italy fought for the right to bear the proud title of "Homeland of Tiramisu": (Toscana), (Piemonte) and (Veneto). But the last region won by a huge margin.
Many historians are inclined to believe that his recipe was invented in the 60s in the Alle Beccherie restaurant in Treviso (Treviso). Chef Roberto Linguanotto, nicknamed Loli, who has worked as a pastry chef in Germany for a long time, combined the recipes of Bavarian sweets with the Italian tradition of giving children an egg yolk beaten with sugar for general strengthening. And so a new dessert was born. After some time, Loli again went to Bavaria, but the love of his homeland forced him to return.
Colleagues ironically reproached Roberto, who arrived in Italy: “Why did you invent tiramisu? Now we have to work hard because the customers ask for nothing but this dessert!”
The word "Tiramisu" first appeared on the pages of the Sabatini Coletti dictionary in 1980. It literally translates as "pull me up" (Italian version of the phrase "cheer me up"). People with wild imagination suggest that the dessert got its name because it can act as an aphrodisiac (increase sexual desire). In fact The name of the dish is associated with its high nutritional value.
In 2006, tiramisu was chosen as the "representative" of Italy in the "Sweet Europe" dishes (a list of desserts from different countries of the European Union). On January 17, 2013, it was recognized as the official dish of the International Day of Italian Cuisine.
One of the assumptions ascribes the birth of tiramisu in (Siena). It is said that it was first prepared on the occasion of a visit and was called "soup for the duke".
But if the use of such a dessert component as coffee can still be confirmed (although at that time it was used only as a drink), then mascarpone, originally from (Lombardia), and ladies' fingers (cookies from French Savoie) are unlikely to have used Tuscan pastry chefs of the 17th and 18th centuries.In addition, soft cheese rancid quickly, it could not be quickly delivered from Lombardy to Tuscany.In addition, the use of raw eggs in dessert is unlikely.The lack of storage methods increased the risk of developing salmonellosis.
"Soup for the Duke" is not mentioned in such a classic cookbook as "The Science of Cooking and the Art of Eating Well" (La Scienza in cucina e l'arte di mangiar bene) by Pellegrino Artusi.
Another version says that tiramisu was created in (Torino) to support Count Cavour in his attempts to unite Italy. Firstly, the middle of the 19th century did not shine with the presence of refrigerators, which excludes the possibility of storing the product. Secondly, there is not a single documentary evidence of this theory.
Italian chef Carminantonio Giannacone, now based in the United States, claims in a 2007 Washington Post article that he invented the famous dessert while in Trevisio. Such a selfish statement had no evidence and was quickly refuted.
There are still plenty of Italian establishments trying to claim credit for the tiramisu recipe, but none of them have stable ground.
Today there are many variations of tiramisu. But to create your own unique dessert, you need to know the basics - a classic recipe.
For the original tiramisu, you will need the following ingredients:

6. Dip Savoyardi in liquor and coffee impregnation, lay in a layer in a fairly deep mold.

Helpful Hints:
. Instead of cocoa, tiramisu can be sprinkled with coffee, grated chocolate, garnished with nuts and fruits.
. To beautifully cut an Italian dessert, you need to moisten the knife with water. The filling does not stick to a wet blade.
. If tiramisu is intended for children, then instead of alcoholic impregnation, soak the savoiardi in a milkshake, sweet juice or liquid chocolate.
Today we will prepare tiramisu dessert at home according to a popular Italian recipe. “Airy” cream and a pleasant coffee-almond flavor together form the most delicate delicacy, which will be a great idea for a romantic dinner or an original afternoon snack.
According to the classic recipe, tiramisu with mascarpone is prepared, eggs, coffee with sweet liquor, cocoa powder, sugar / powdered sugar and, of course, oblong cookies (savoyardi or “lady fingers”) are also mandatory ingredients. You can make it yourself or find it on sale, but do not try to replace this ingredient with anything, as the taste of the dessert will not be the same.
Ingredients for 2-3 servings:
First, a few words about the cream. It is prepared from raw eggs, so be sure to select the freshest chicken eggs for tiramisu and wash them thoroughly with soap before cooking. It will not work to exclude raw proteins and yolks from the recipe, since it is they who give the cream “airiness”. If desired, of course, you can replace the eggs, for example, with whipped cream, but there will be a completely different taste.
Let's start tasting, enjoying the delicate taste of a multi-layered tiramisu dessert at home! Enjoy your meal!
The world-famous Italian dessert Tiramisu has earned itself world fame. People like it for its delicate and airy texture, but despite this, it is quite high in calories. This dessert was prepared especially for the Duke of the Medici at the end of the 17th century, this Duke was known as a great lover of sweets and that is why, trying to surprise him, the cooks did their best to come up with more and more new recipes. And one of these recipes was a dessert with its original name "Duke's Soup". Subsequently, the dessert spread to Florence and Venice, where it was given the name "Tiramisu".
Translated from Italian, the name of this dessert will sound "Lift me up" or "Raise me to heaven." At that time, even the courtiers believed that Tiramisu excites desire. Thus, they considered it an aphrodisiac, and therefore, every time before a love date, they would certainly feast on a portion of fragrant Tiramisu. And the thing is that in the classic version of the preparation of Tiramisu there are chocolate (or cocoa powder) and coffee, which in their essence are very strong aphrodisiacs, it is these ingredients that stimulate desire.
The obligatory ingredients for making Tiramisu have been and remain soft Mascarpone cheese, Savoyardi biscuit air cookies. In order to prepare the classic version of Tiramisu, you will need the following ingredients:
Proper preparation of classic Tiramisu
First you will need to prepare the cream for Tiramisu. To do this, separate the egg yolks from the whites. Then we send the proteins to the refrigerator, this is done so that in the future they can be easily whipped into a lush mass.
Now let's take care of the egg yolks, they should be mixed with powdered sugar and beat until smooth, so that it doubles in size. After the mass becomes light, soft Mascarpone cheese should be added. Mix until smooth.
Then you will need to beat the chilled egg whites into a strong fluffy foam.
Now we add cognac to the finished coffee, the coffee should be cold. Savoiardi biscuits should be dipped into this mixture of coffee and alcohol. A very important point, it is necessary that the biscuit sticks are well soaked, but not soaked. Spread the Savoyardi soaked in the coffee-cognac mixture with the first layer in a beautiful form (preferably transparent, so that in the end you can see the beautiful layers of the dessert).
Now you need to send the dessert to the refrigerator for at least three hours, but it is better to let Tiramisu infuse all night, so the dessert will become very tasty and juicy.
Just before serving, each piece of Tiramisu should be sprinkled with cocoa powder sown through a fine sieve or poured beautifully with melted chocolate.
But time does not stand still and every cook or every housewife in their kitchen simplify the recipes, making them acceptable to everyone, thus, new recipes for delicious desserts appear.
Some may be alarmed by the presence of raw eggs in the classic Tiramisu recipe, for such people there are simplified recipes. Of course, not the classic Tiramisu, but very similar to it. Yes, and you can easily bake Savoyardi cookies at home, this is done quite easily and quickly.

The best recipe for Tiramisu dessert with homemade biscuit from Yulia Vysotskaya
In order to prepare Tiramisu without raw eggs with homemade Savoiardi, you will need the following ingredients:
To make Savoyardi cookies:
To prepare the cream and assemble the Tiramisu cake:
First we need to bake cookies. To do this, you need to separate the yolks from the proteins, the proteins must be sent to the refrigerator.
Beat the yolks and 100 g of sugar for 3 minutes with a mixer until white.
We take out the chilled egg whites from the refrigerator and, mixing them with the remaining granulated sugar, beat with a mixer or whisk until a stable foam.
Combine the protein and yolk mass.
Then you will need a pastry syringe, paper cone or bag. We transfer the prepared dough into a syringe or bag, and pour it in small strips onto a baking sheet, which was previously greased with butter and covered with parchment paper, which was again greased with oil.
We send the baking sheet with cookies to the oven preheated to 200 ° C for 15 minutes.
Separate the yolks from the proteins and place them together with sugar in a deep bowl. Put the bowl in a water bath and beat them with sugar. Under the influence of temperature, the cream from the yolks will thicken, and will resemble custard.
Before you combine the custard with Mascarpone cheese, it must be cooled so that the cheese does not melt.
Beat Mascarpone with yolks until smooth and refrigerate.
Now let's move on to the cream for dessert. To do this, cold cream, necessarily high fat content, should be whipped until thick. If you didn’t have fat farm cream on hand, then I advise you to use gelatin to make the cream. In the step by step recipe, I have in the photo just pasteurized cream from the box. Although they are with a thickener, it has already been verified from personal experience that if you beat them for a cake, it is better to add gelatin. How to use your gelatin - it is best to read the recommendations on the package. I soaked the gelatin in a small amount of cold boiled water, when it swelled, I melted it over low heat.
Mix the whipped cream with powdered sugar and, while whisking, pour in the gelatin in a small stream. Then we take out the cream with Mascarpone and, stirring it, add whipped cream. Gently beat the mass with a whisk or mixer at low speed.
Now let's prepare coffee and alcohol impregnation. To do this, you need to mix pre-brewed and already cooled coffee (proportions: 350 ml of water and 50 g of ground coffee) with cognac or liquor (I had whiskey on hand). If the Tiramisu cake is being prepared for a children's celebration, it is better not to add alcohol to the impregnation.
Each biscuit stick should be dipped into the coffee mixture and wait until it is saturated with the mixture, but it should not be allowed to become sour.
We transfer the coffee-soaked cookies to the prepared form, where there are already a couple of spoons of cream. Then cover the cookie layer with a layer of prepared buttercream.
And so on, until the ingredients run out.
The top of the dessert should be covered with butter cream and send the dessert to the refrigerator to infuse.
Then, before serving, dessert should be sprinkled with grated chocolate on a fine grater.
or cocoa powder.
But some simplify the dessert recipe to their liking, sometimes Mascarpone cheese is not at hand, so the hostesses came up with the idea of replacing it with fatty cottage cheese.
This recipe for Tiramisu without raw eggs with curd cream was sent to Slavyan's Notebook.
In order to prepare a light version of Tiramisu or cottage cheese dessert with biscuit cookies, you will need the following ingredients:
Cooking a light version of Tiramisu with curd cream
First, let's prepare the curd cream. To do this, grind the cottage cheese through a fine sieve or punch with a blender (beat with a mixer), then add sour cream and mix again. Next, add powdered sugar. If the powder was not at hand, you can cook it at home in a coffee grinder from sugar (2 tablespoons will be needed).
Now the biscuit should be soaked with cooled coffee and put in the first layer in a dessert mold, you can also put the dessert in portioned bowls or transparent glasses. Then we cover the cookies soaked in coffee with a layer of curd cream and then spread the cookies again. Cover the dessert with a layer of cream on top and send it to the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Before serving, sprinkle the dessert with cocoa powder or grated chocolate.
Dessert Tiramisu is designed for two servings. This dessert can be a great addition to any table, it can even be prepared for children, and you can soak cookies not in coffee, but in cocoa, it turns out very tasty and fragrant.
Well, if you haven’t found biscuit cookies or real Savoyardi, or you don’t want to bake it yourself either, then we suggest that you replace this ingredient with ordinary ready-made biscuit cakes that you will need to cut into arbitrary pieces (cubes, stripes, rectangles).
You can also make a cake a la Tiramisu, for this, the same biscuit cakes should be smeared with cream, but after soaking the cakes with ready-made chilled coffee, in which you can add a little cognac or Amaretto. We also leave it to soak for several hours, this is already a completely lightweight version of the likeness of Tiramisu.
Dessert Tiramisu is one of the most popular desserts in the world, literally translated from Italian means “lift me up”. What kind of dessert is this, Tiramisu, a cake or a cake, what it consists of and how to cook it at home, Sergey will tell in his photo recipe (and even give a hint to men about a gentle sweet congratulation to their beloved women in the form of a cake without baking).

Well, in some recipes, tiramisu generally resembles a cupcake or pudding.
It is best to start preparing this delicate dessert with mascarpone with coffee. You will need strong, sweet, cold coffee (about 0.5 liters).

Dip Savoyardi biscuits in the form of sticks in cold coffee and place in a single layer on the bottom of a dish with high edges.

Delicious tiramisu can only be tasted in Italy!
Proper tiramisu is made from three main ingredients:
This is a classic composition. You can repeat it only in Italy, since real fresh mascarpone, suitable for tiramisu, is produced only on the Apennine Peninsula. So, if you are offered to try this dessert in the best restaurant in Moscow, for example, you should know that it can be anything, but not a real tiramisu.
"Tiramisu" consists of three Italian words: tira mi su, which can literally be translated as "lift me up" - according to one version, because of its high calorie content. But most argue that the Italians mean an emotional state and this translation should be understood as "cheer me up." And there is also a version that Tiramisu is considered an exciting treat (due to the combination of coffee and chocolate). The nobles ate Tiramisu before love dates and therefore this dessert got its name.
Tiramisu simply has to be associated immediately with Italy, just like pasta or pizza. Dessert was served for the first time in the 17th century for Archduke Cosimo III of Midici. The famous sweet tooth appreciated the efforts of the cooks of Siena and, taking with him the recipe for the sweet soup "Del Duca" (Duke's soup), went through the cities to Venice. It was there that the main charm of the dessert was appreciated. The local representatives of the ancient profession liked the uplifting mood, and the Italian dessert became a symbol of coquetry and seduction. “Pick me up”, according to some sources, is not such a romantic dessert, but just a “testing ground” for confectioners who came up with a recipe and found the golden mean between hard and soft, bitter, but very tasty, chocolate and creamy. Italians consider people who hold such an opinion about the history of the recipe to be envious. After all, the national dish is the property of Italy and, of course, it is pleasant to talk about it and very pleasant to taste it. The tiramisu looks very appetizing in the photo. A lot depends on the bowls in which this dessert is served, but the contents are worth a lot of effort.
Venice doesn't have a lot of desserts, but at least one of them is known all over the world - it's tiramisu. Preparing it is as easy as shelling pears: you just need to combine cookies, coffee and cream.
