Tiramisu is the famous dessert from Italy, with layers of ladyfingers dipped in coffee and alcohol, eggs, mascarpone, and real cocoa. The recipe for it is simple and it is very easy to prepare in advance, as it tastes even better after being left to sit for a while.
Recipe for a Tiramisu
Extra tips:
- If you don't have rum, you can also use Marsala or Amaretto.
- If you want to avoid alcohol and espresso, you can use cocoa (milk with sweet cocoa powder) or orange juice instead.
- For children, do not use real cocoa for sprinkling, but rather the sweeter cocoa powder.
- If you also want to avoid raw eggs, use 250 g of curd/quark and 200 g of cream cheese as well as 2 tbsp of sugar instead. Mix these ingredients well and spread over the soaked ladyfingers.

Preparation
First prepare the coffee and let it cool well.
For that I simply made a cup of coffee with a capsule in our coffee machine.
Separate the egg white from the yolk.
Beat the egg white until stiff and stir in 50 g powdered sugar.
Mix the yolk with the remaining 50 g powdered sugar, add the mascarpone and combine.
Now add the beaten egg whites and fold them in.
Mix the coffee with a shot of rum in a bowl and briefly dip the ladyfingers each time.
In a nice dish, first lay out the dipped ladyfingers and spread some cream over them.
Repeat this until only one layer of cream remains.
Now let the tiramisu sit in the refrigerator for several hours.
Sprinkle with real cocoa before serving.
Tips & Notes
If you don't have rum, you can also use Marsala or Amaretto. If you want to omit the alcohol and the espresso, you can instead use cocoa (milk with sweetened cocoa powder) or orange juice. For children, do not use real cocoa for sprinkling; use the sweeter cocoa powder instead. If you also want to avoid raw eggs, use 250 g Topfen/Quark and 200 g cream cheese plus 2 tbsp sugar instead. Mix these ingredients well and spread them on the soaked ladyfingers.
