Tiramisu is a decadent Italian dessert that is known for its softness, velvety smoothness and melt-in-the-mouth texture. Also, of course for the strong flavours of coffee that can be felt with every bite. This heavenly dessert is made up of rich, creamy and divine layers of lady fingers dipped in a strongly brewed coffee, whisked eggs, mascarpone cheese with a touch of cocoa powder sprinkled over the top. The quality of ingredients plays a very important role when it comes to making any dessert at home. Same goes for this delightful Italian dessert. Using quality ingredients in the right amount is the secret to making a perfect bakery-style tiramisu at home. Look into these three simple and useful tips and tricks to make a homemade tiramisu with perfection.
1. Always use freshly brewed coffee
One of the most important layers of tiramisu consists of ladyfingers being dipped in a brewed coffee. Every time you are planning to make a tiramisu at home, make sure to use a freshly brewed coffee for dipping. The coffee should be slightly thick in consistency so that its coats well over the ladyfingers. Keep in mind to use a strongly brewed coffee for the same.
2. Whisk the egg yolks well
Whisking the eggs yolks well is the key to ace perfect Italian-style tiramisu at home. You must continuously beat the egg yolks for at least for 10-15 minutes. This helps in giving your homemade tiramisu a better and softer texture.
3. Refrigerate for at least 8 hours
Refrigerating your tiramisu for a longer time allows the ladyfingers to soak up strong flavours of coffee and also absorb all the other flavours well. It is necessary to refrigerate it for at least 8 hours or until it's properly set. The longer you refrigerate, the better your homemade tiramisu is going to taste.
