I love sweets , not candies though , but i just love yummy dessert !! So , this time , i am trying to create my own tiramisu . There was this italian restaurant about 10 minutes away from where i live , and they have great pizza , and great italian food . On top of that , they have yummy tiramisu .. and you know , they&#8217;re not cheap , for a piece , it costs $5.00 .. and i&#8217;ve heard about making tiramisu so many times . But i am against using raw egg yolk . I like half boiled eggs , but raw .. i am not so good with it . I am just not comfortable with it .<\/p>\n<p>So , this version down here , i cooked the egg yolk with non stop whisking ,don&#8217;t you dare to stop whisking or else you will end up with scrambled egg . Go ahead if you want some scrambled eggs in\u00a0 your tiramisu LOL ..<\/p>\n<p><strong>You need : <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>6 large egg yolks<\/p>\n<p>3\/4 cup of sugar<\/p>\n<p>2\/3 cup of milk ( i used 1% milk )<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>In a sauce pan , place your egg yolks , add your sugar , and then whisk well until it&#8217;s all blended . Just use manual whisk , it works okay , you don&#8217;t need to grab your hand held mixer to whisk them . Once it&#8217;s blended , add 2\/3 cup of the milk , and whisk well . Place on the stove on medium heat , start whisking and DO NOT STOP WHISKING . Bring to boil , KEEP WHISKING , and keep boiling for 1 minute , you might want to speed up the whisking , because if you&#8217;re slowing down , i am afraid you might end up with scrambled eggs .The mixture should be yellow and getting thicker , not as runny as in tbe beginning . Once it&#8217;s done , pour immediately into a bowl , and let it sit in room temperature for 15 minutes , then cover with plastic wrap , Chill in the fridge for at least 1 hour . ( You can do this a day ahead too ) <\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Next , you need : <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>1 1\/4 cup of heavy cream<\/p>\n<p>about 2 tbsp. sugar<\/p>\n<p>1 tsp. of vanilla extract<\/p>\n<p>1 capfull of marsala wine<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Before you start whipping the heavy cream , i suggest to place the metal bowl or any other bowl you use , in the fridge for a good half an hour . Metal would be the quickest to get cold , so that&#8217;s what i used . Then place your whisk in the fridge too along with the bowl . Once you&#8217;re ready , pour the heavy cream into the chilled bowl , start whipping it , add vanilla and sugar , and marsala wine , keep whipping until stiff peak reached . Set aside in the fridge .<br \/>\n<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><\/em>Next step you need :\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1 lb of mascarpone cheese<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Take the egg yolk mixture out from the fridge , then using handheld mixer , blend the mascarpone cheese , you can fold it in and mix with spatula but u&#8217;ll risk it to be lumpy . Using a mixer would be a lot better and quicker , once it&#8217;s blended , bring out the whipped cream from the fridge , and pour the mascarpone-egg yolk mixture into the whipped cream , and mix well with spatula or mixer . If you use mixer , try not to overmix it . Few seconds would be good enough to have it well blended . Place the filling in the fridge for another hour . <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><\/em>Next you need : <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>2 cups of strong brewed coffee or espresso<\/p>\n<p>1\/2 cup of marsala wine , or kahlua or dark rum , whatever you choose . I used marsala wine<\/p>\n<p>1 tsp. vanilla extract<\/p>\n<p>1 &#8211; 7oz\u00a0 package of lady fingers<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>Make sure your coffee is in room temperature , then add the liqour and vanilla . When you&#8217;re ready to assemble , use the coffee mixture to soak the lady finger . <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>1. Use square dish or rectangle dish to assemble the tiramisu . <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>2. Soak the lady finger one by one into the bowl of coffee liqour mixture , soak for 4-5 seconds , becareful because they soak really good and will crumbled if you soak too long . But you want to soak it long enough to be soft , not hard .Arrange the soaked lady fingers on the bottom of the dish , then pour half of the mascarpone &#8211; egg &#8211; whipped cream mixture on top of the lady fingers . Then you can sprinkle with cocoa powder ( i skip this step ) . Then repeat the layering from lady finger-mascaporne again , until it ends with mascarpone . Dust with cocoa powder .<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em>3. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 24 hours for the flavour to blend .<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/tiramisu1.jpg\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-1901\" title=\"tiramisu1\" src=\"http:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/tiramisu1-300x199.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"199\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/tiramisu1-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/06\/tiramisu1.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Easy tiramisu recipe , with cooked egg yolks instead of raw eggs !! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":1900,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9,12],"tags":[54],"class_list":["post-1899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-food-desserts","category-desserts-recipes","tag-italian-tiramisu"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1899","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1899"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1902,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1899\/revisions\/1902"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/1900"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.oliviaskitchen.net\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
