Home tiramisu is a heavenly delight

Not so long ago a new dessert - tiramisu - appeared on the shelves of our shops and in the confectionery menu. Many of us still think that this is a baked cake of the Napoleon type or whipped cream with a thickener in the vase. In fact, what we sell and served under the guise of tiramisu is anything, but not a classic Italian dessert. To produce it you need special products, and replacing them with something else immediately reflects the taste of the product. I do not argue, you can put a sweet cheese "Philadelphia" over the cookie "Kurabje Baku" and it will also turn out delicious. But this improvisation can not be compared with that abyss of heavenly bliss, which gives the original product.

So what is tiramisu, an Italian dessert? He does not care, because it uses special ready-made "Savoyardi" cookies. A cream is a gentle cheese, prepared from cream buffalo, "Mascarpone". The wine "Marsala" and strong, freshly brewed coffee give the delicacy an aristocratic taste, and the bitterness of cocoa powder - refinement and originality. But even if we take the very best of Italian products and at the same time disrupt the technology of cooking, nothing will come of it.

In principle, nothing terrible will happen if we replace the "Marsala" liquor "Baileys" or "Amaretto." This will not greatly affect the taste of the dish. But without the "Savoyardi" and "Mascarpone" we can not do. The cookie is interesting in that it quickly absorbs liquid, but does not crack and keeps the shape well. A mascarpone, to be honest, you can replace only one - real fatty sour cream, thrown back on the gauze. Other products for tiramisu - eggs, coffee, sugar, cocoa powder - can be found in any kitchen.

The secret of this dish is the following: "Mascarpone" should be very cold, and eggs - at room temperature. Therefore, before starting to prepare tiramisu at home (in two hours), we provide these products with the necessary temperature regime. Next, we cook strong coffee in the Turks. The original recipe prescribes without sugar, but for sweet tooth, you can add a spoonful of sand.

We put the cool down. Separate the 4 yolks, and whisk the proteins to hard peaks. We need 100 g of powdered sugar. We rub the yolks to such a consistency that they become white. 250-gram pack "Mascarpone" is transferred to the bowl of the mixer and whisked to air. Then, gently stirring, we add alternately to the cheese a spoon of protein, then yolks.

We pour into a glass of cold coffee a small glass of "Marsala" or liquor. The important moment of folding tiramisu has come. This is done like this: "Savoyardi" is quickly dipped in coffee and spread out on a flat dish, until a layer is formed from them. From above put a layer of whipped "Mascarpone". We knife or the back of the spoon. We put the second layer of "Savoyardi", not forgetting to dip these sticks in coffee. Then again cheese and so on until the cookies and cream finish. We put the dish in the fridge for the night and struggle with the temptation to eat all the dessert ahead of time. Next morning, sprinkle a delicacy of cocoa powder mixed with sugar powder. And enjoy. After all, in translation from the Italian, tiramisu - this "lift me up". Believe me, you will be in the seventh heaven with bliss.
