Classic Tiramisu

This is one of my favourite Italian desserts to make. Tiramisu, means "pick-me-up" in English.
I requested to learn this dessert so I can create it at home. My sister in law makes a great one and was taught how to make this from an Italian family friend.
Now she has taught me how to make it. I have amended and adjusted the quantity to my liking and taste.
Tiramisu usually contains alcohol. This can be made without the alcohol and the sweetness level can also be adapted to preference.
Although there are many steps to this and it can be tedious, it's very quick to assemble once all the small tasks have been done and prepared.
It's important and key to use very fresh eggs and to have a very good strong espresso coffee for tiramisu.
I hope you enjoy making and eating my version of this homemade Italian tiramisu.

Steps
- 1
Make 2 espresso cups of coffee (strong coffee), set aside and leave to cool.
- 2
Once the coffee has cooled down, mix the coffee and alcohol(s) in a deep glass proof oven dish together. Taste the mixture and adjust to preference (add more coffee or alcohol). Set aside.
- 3
In two bowls, separate the egg yolks and egg whites. Place the egg whites in a mixing bowl. Whisk together the egg whites until it's slightly frothy. Then add the sugar a tablespoon at a time. Best egg whites until stiff peaks.
- 4
Once egg whites are at stiff peaks stop whisking. Transfer the egg whites into a separate making bowl.
- 5
Now wash the whisk or whisk attachment and mixing bowl. To the mixing bowl again, add the egg yolks and 3 tablespoons of sugar. Cream together eggs and sugar until pale in colour. Once incorporated add a vanilla extract and mix together again for 5 seconds.
- 6
Add all of the mascarpone and ricotta to the mixing bowl and whisk. Once incorporated add Marsala. Whisk together again until mixture is smooth stop whisking. Tip: do not over whisk otherwise it will curdle and split. Taste it and adjust sweetness if necessary (add more sugar) and use a spatula to gently fold in the sugar.
- 7
Then it's time to add the egg whites to the egg yolk and cheese mixture. Using a spatula add a small amount of egg white first. This helps to loosen the mixture. Fold in the egg whites and then add larger amounts of egg whites bit by bit. Ensuring the egg whites are fully incorporated into the mixture.
- 8
Dip and soak the Italian biscuits into the coffee alcohol mixture for 3 seconds. Then quickly and gently transfer to an oven proof dish tray and layer at the bottom. Tip: the biscuits soak the coffee quickly, do not dip in too long otherwise becomes mushy.
- 9
Then add the egg and cheese mixture next and generously dot over the biscuits. Use a spatula to spread and coat the biscuits. Repeat steps 8 & 9 until there is no more egg and cream cheese and coffee alcohol mixture left.
- 10
Once the final layer has been done, smooth over with the spatula and cover with cling film. Place in the fridge for 6 hours or over night (best left overnight).
- 11
Once ready to eat and serve sift and dust the top of the tiramisu coco powder and grate over dark chocolate, amaretto and amaretto biscuit crumbs (optional).
