3. Traditional Italian Tiramisu (Egg-Based)

Ingredients:

For the Cream:

6 large egg yolks

3/4 cup granulated sugar

1 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese (room temperature)

2 cups heavy cream

1 tsp vanilla extract

For the Coffee Syrup:

1 1/2 cups strong brewed espresso or coffee (cooled)

3 tbsp sugar

2 tbsp coffee liqueur (optional)

For Assembling:

30 ladyfinger biscuits

Unsweetened cocoa powder (for dusting)

Grated chocolate or cocoa powder (optional)

Instructions:

Prepare the Coffee Syrup:

Combine the cooled espresso or coffee with sugar and coffee liqueur (optional) in a shallow dish. Stir until the sugar dissolves.

Make the Cream:

Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl over simmering water (double boiler) until the mixture is pale and thick.

Remove from heat and allow it to cool slightly.

In a separate bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form.

Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the egg mixture, followed by the whipped cream and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Tiramisu:

Dip each ladyfinger into the coffee syrup briefly (do not soak), and arrange them in a serving dish.

Spread half of the mascarpone cream mixture over the ladyfingers.

Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and the remaining cream.

Chill and Serve:

Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours (preferably overnight).

Before serving, dust with cocoa powder or top with grated chocolate.

Tips for Perfect Tiramisu:

Use fresh mascarpone cheese for the best flavor and texture.

Do not soak the ladyfingers for too long; they should be moist but not soggy.

Tiramisu tastes better after chilling for a few hours, allowing the flavors to meld.

Garnish with cocoa powder or chocolate shavings just before serving to prevent it from getting soggy.
