What Is Tiramisu?
The literal meaning of Tiramisu, a legendary Italian dessert, is known as “Cheer me up” or “Pull me up”. There are many ways to make tiramisu. Although there are various claims about the birthplace of one of the world’s most popular desserts, the popular opinion in Italy is that tiramisu was first made in Treviso, in the Veneto region. The tiramisu recipe is said to belong to the owner and chef of Le Beccherie restaurant in Treviso. The tiramisu dessert we make at home is actually a little different from the original. Most of the time, we use ready-made pastry cake instead of “Savoiardi” or ladyfingers.

How to Make Eggless Tiramisu?
- The cheese used in making this dessert should be creamy and salt-free. Among the cheeses, the best choice is the mascarpone cheese.
- Any kind of biscuits not be used to make Italian tiramisu. Some use flavored biscuits, while this dessert has its own biscuit known as “Lady Finger”; If this biscuit was not available, plain sponge cake could also be used.
- The best coffee for this dessert is espresso or instant coffee, which must be bitter and black.
- You can also add some cream, grated chocolate, and even a little powdered coconut to the tiramisu recipe. Of course, adding any of these ingredients will make the recipe different from its original.
- If you are going to use mascarpone cheese, it must be softened at room temperature. Otherwise, lumps will form while adding it into the cream. It should be added little by little and the consistency should be checked.
- Put a mixing bowl and whisk in the freezer to get as cold as possible before mixing ingredients.
