How do I make a tiramisu ?
Tiramisu is a delicious no-bake dessert anyone can make. Tiramisu, or ‘zuppa inglese’ is a cake made of savoiardi biscuits and dipped into San Marzano Borsci liquor. It is layered on a large plate covered with custard and chocolate cream, which is separated by a layer of savoiardi. The process takes about one hour, but with practice, you can prepare it in 30 minutes or less.
All you need is a liter of milk, 4 eggs, 4 spoonfuls of white flour, 8 spoonfuls of white sugar, 2 spoonfuls of unsweetened cocoa, a cinnamon stick, savoirardi biscuits, lemon skin and Brosci San Marzano liquor. You would also need a mixing bowl, whisk, a large pot and a small pot to make preparations easier.
Making the cream – To make the custard, break four eggs and place only the egg yolks in the bowl. Mix in 4 tablespoons of white sugar for about 30 seconds, then add 2 tablespoons of white floor. Pour half of the milk slowly, while mixing the dry ingredients on the bowl. Add half of the cinnamon stick and two lemon skins and pour it into a small pot, placing it on top of the larger water-filled pot. Turn on the stove and continue to whisk the mixture until it thickens. Make sure to avoid lumps by using low heat and continuous mixing. Let it cool down.
Making the chocolate cream – Get another mixing bowl and mix 4 tablespoons of white sugar and two spoonfuls of cocoa for about 30 seconds. Pour the rest of the milk slowly while mixing. Avoid lumps by mixing completely. Add the other half of the cinnamon stick and pour the mix into a small pot. Place the small pot above the large water-filled pot again and mix until it thickens.
Fill a new bowl with water and sprinkle white sugar in it, stirring until the sugar melts. Add two tablespoons of Borsci San Marzano liquor and combine with the water-sugar mixture. Take the savoiardi biscuits and dip them on the liquor mix, making a layer on the service plate. Pour the chocolate cream onto the biscuit. Make another layer of the savoiardi biscuits and then pour the custard in. Refrigerate it so all the flavors would settle in.

cupcake or two: Thanks! I am glad that you enjoyed it.@ Rilsta: Thanks! It was a great enveing with lots of fun. @ Maybelle’s mum: Thanks!@ Ninette: The party turned out to be really good. @ The Little Teochew: Thanks!@ Muffinsareuglycupcakes: Thanks!! @ Aptronym: Totally agree with you! Thanks!@ Nate-n-Annie: I did make them in a squre tray to bring to the dinner. It’s almost impossible to slice them properly. You have to scoop them using a spoon. I prefer the individual portion but it’s hard to transport with all the glasses.@ Lorraine: I didn’t put enough of matcha. the pistachio nuts overwhelmed the matcha flavour. @ Betty: Thanks!@ Ravenous Couple: Thanks! No, we were not blindfolded. What a crazy idea! May try to do it next time.@ Trisha: Thanks! Can’t wait for the next one too!@ Weekend Carnivore Thanks!@ TabzChewy: Thanks! Let me know how it turns out!!@ Trissa: Hehe!! It was great to meet you for the first time. Can’t wait for to catch up with you again!@ Dominique: Thanks! Let me know how it turns out!@ FFichiban: Hehe!! I know you will love it!@ Chuck: Thanks!@ Sophie: Thanks!@ Jessica: Thanks! I love tea infused dessert too. Next, I am thinking of using chai tea.@ ABowlofMush: Thanks!@ Zine: Thanks! Let me know how it turns out!@ Pille: Thanks!@ Betty: Thanks!@ Benny: Thanks! I used the plain matcha without added sugar. The tiramisu is quite sweet by itself, so additional sugar is not needed. Let me know how it turns out!!@ Penny: Thanks! Let me know how it turns out!
