Authentic Tiramisu for Valentine's Day

I used to make my tiramisu with cream cheese, but after eating an authentic one, I realized that mascaropone is best.
You can also replace 50 g out of the 200 g of mascarpone with cream cheese if you'd like.
I only use a modest amount of coffee syrup in Step 9, just enough to moisten the surface. Recipe by ko-ko

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Make the sponge cake. Sift together the cake flour, corn starch, and cocoa powder. Line the mold with parchment paper (a 20 x 28 cm mold) was used).
- 2
Melt the butter and milk in a double boiler and let rest in the double boiler. (Butter and milk are optional.) Preheat the oven to 170℃.
- 3
Add the eggs and granulated sugar into a bowl and beat until thickened (enough to form ribbons) in a double boiler.
- 4
Once it's heated to about body temperature, take it off the double boiler and continue beating until thick ribbons form. Smooth out the batter to finish.
- 5
Sift in the already sifted dry ingredients into the bowl and fold gently.
- 6
Add about 2 ladles of the batter from Step 5 into the bowl from Step 2 and blend together. Pour it back into the batter from Step 5 and mix slowly.
- 7
Pour in the mold. Drop it twice on the countertop from a short distance to remove any air pockets. Bake for about 10 to 12 minutes in a 170℃ oven.
- 8
Once baked, drop it once from a high point to prevent it from shrinking. If you don't like the browning on top, you can peel it off by laying on and removing a sheet of plastic cling wrap.
- 9
Cut out the sponge cake to fit the circular mold. Line the mold with parchment paper and insert the cake. Brush the surface with syrup.
- 10
Make the tiramisu. Soak the gelatin in water and place in a double boiler. Mix the mascarpone brought to room temperature in a bowl to soften.
- 11
In another bowl, add the egg yolks and 40 g of granulated sugar. Beat until thickened.
- 12
Heat milk in a pot and turn off heat once it starts to bubble near the rim. Mix in the soaked gelatin and gradually add into the mixture from Step 11.
- 13
Add the mixture from Step 12 through a strainer into the mascarpone from Step 10 and mix well to ensure there are no inconsistencies in the texture.
- 14
In another bowl, combine the heavy cream and 20 g of granulated sugar. Whip the cream until stiff peaks form.
- 15
Add the whipped cream in 3 to 4 portions to the batter from Step 13. Mix thoroughly so the cream is well incorporated.
- 16
Pour the tiramisu batter into the cake from Step 9. Shake the mold to smooth out the surface, and chill to harden in the fridge (I let it chill for one full day).
- 17
This is an 18 cm circular mold (16.6 cm inner radius). Pour in the tiramisu batter as much as you'd like, and pour the rest into a different container to test the taste.
- 18
Once firm, remove from mold and sprinkle some espresso or cocoa powder on top through a tea strainer.

Authentic Italian Rich Tiramisu for Valentine's Day Authentic Italian Rich Tiramisu for Valentine's Day
I was reading through an Italian book, and I found this rich tiramisu recipe that was home cooked in Italy. I left the steps as-is, but modified the ingredient ratio to make it easier to make and adjusted the sweetness, and decreased the alcohol content.1) After adding the mascarpone cheese to the batter, change to a whisk and mix gently and carefully. For a smoother texture, mix well until all the cheese clusters have incorporated into the batter.2) Use espresso.3) Try not to soak the ladyfingers for too long, instead try to soak the entire biscuit in an instant.4) Make it a day ahead and let it rest overnight. For 4 servings. Recipe by Nekomaruri cookpad.japan -
Classic Tiramisu Classic Tiramisu
Store bought just doesn't make the cut. I had to make my own. It is easy but time consuming, the best things are worth the wait. This really does need to chill for 24 hours. If you can't wait it must be at least 12. Cooking the eggs over a double boiler takes a full 10 minutes but is vital. All steps truly make a masterpiece when finished. Taylor Topp Comacho -

Chocolate Tiramisu Chocolate Tiramisu
When I started this post this morning, my husband and I had no idea of the news we would hear later in the day. A good friend of ours past away this morning from a motorcycle accident in Athens. This post is dedicated to George….:( Rest in Peace.Hiiii, I have made this Chocolate Tiramisu many times before, and what I like about it is that it is different from the usual Italian version. Not that I don’t love that version don’t get me wrong I love Tiramisu, this one just differs in the base. It is made with semi sweet chocolate, espresso and coffee liqueur. Nice combination right! 🙂 Even though I am not a big lover of chocolate, like I have mentioned before…I do enjoy a piece of this tiramisu once in a while…:)I tend to make this recipe in a bowl and not in a baking pan. (you can choose which ever you prefer) What I usual do is a have a large serving spoon, and just serve it this way. I hope you enjoy this recipe!! Foodzesty -

Tiramisu Tiramisu
This recipes is the result of a lot of trial and error. I've been making this for the past 10 years. This time, I made it for my hubby's 40th birthday.The strawberry compote is just a mix of strawberries and sugar simmered together. You could also make this the traditional way and sprinkle cocoa powder on top. I topped it with strawberry compote based on my hubby's request. Coating the biscuits with a generous amount of butter will make it crunchy. Recipe by Mon*chou-chou* cookpad.japan
