Light traditional Italian tiramisu

Overview

According to Italian legend, Tiramisu originated before the soldiers went to the battlefield. Because the anxious lover did not have time to bake an exquisite cake, he had to mix eggs, cocoa powder cake strips in a hurry to make a crude and quick snack, and then delivered it to the soldier's hands with sweat on his face. The food she handed over with beads of sweat and tears was simple, but sweet and fragrant, and full of deep love. Because one of the meanings of tiramisu is remember me. If you like someone, go with him to the end of the world, not just let him remember. Therefore, another meaning of tiramisu is to take me away. (From the Internet) I have a special story about tiramisu, maybe because it was the only dessert I made when my husband was pursuing me~ I found that desserts with stories behind them are particularly romantic. This tiramisu tastes very light. Because I don’t like the taste of alcohol, I didn’t add any alcohol and just dipped the finger biscuits in traditional coffee. It tastes just as good~ (The picture shows half the amount used)

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Take the egg yolks, slowly add 1/2 cup of sugar, and stir until combined and light in color.

   

2. 2 Add room temperature mascarpone cheese, continue to stir until smooth, and set aside.

   

3. 3 In a clean, oil-free and water-free bowl, add a small amount of sugar and beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

   

4. 4 Add the whipped egg whites into the previous cheese batter in portions and mix gently evenly.

   

5. 5 Whip the cream in another clean bowl until thick, then add to the cheese protein paste.

   

6. 6 If using brandy, pour the wine into the cooled coffee. If not, just skip this step. Carefully dip the ladyfingers into the coffee one by one.

   

7. 7 Spread the moist finger biscuits on the bottom of the quilt and pour half of the prepared cheese paste on top. Smooth the surface and then spread a layer of coffee finger biscuits. Pour the remaining cheese paste and smooth the surface. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate for 3 hours for better taste.
