Tiramisu classic

Tiramisu is an Italian multi-layered dessert. It includes savoyardi - delicate sponge cookies of an elongated-flattened shape with a porous structure. Savoyardi is an integral part of tiramisu, but you can also use "Ladyfingers" cookies as a substitute. It is very similar to savoyardi, but is made from shortcrust pastry, so it requires more thorough soaking. Instead of dessert wine Marsala, you can use cognac or orange liqueur.

How to cook Tiramisu classic

Assemble the tiramisu. Place half of the cream on the savoiardi biscuits. Smooth it out carefully with a silicone spatula or spatula. Place the second layer of biscuits on top. Smooth the cream out again. For a more impressive look, make curls out of the cream. To do this, place the cream in a pastry bag and decorate the surface of the dessert. Then put the finished tiramisu in the refrigerator for 5–6 hours to thicken the cream.
