Best tiramisu recipe on KZbin…I made this for my Mom…it’s her favorite dessert…she told me “the best tiramisu I ever had was from a restaurant that closed down!!” So I made this for her…My Mom said “Oh dear God…this is THE BEST. RECIPE EVER!!!!” 😂

[@Cookingitalianwithjoe]

Sounds great!

[@katykayy]

I’ve literally watched hours of Tiramisu recipes! Yours is by far my favorite! I’ll be making this one tomorrow with family! Thanks!!!!!

[@doreenglendinning6551]

You have great taste in music, I love learning authentic recipes from folks of other places. Thank you for taking me to Italy. Your wife must be so happy, I'm lucky if my husband can make a burger 🍔 without my help.Something about a man that can cook.😜

[@sharonrosenthal6211]

I made Joes tiramisu and it came out wonderful, everyone enjoyed it. I watched his video so many times wrote down everything Thanks joe your awesome

[@samanthiranawaka4488]

Can you publish what you noted .So to be accurate. Thank you

[@JohnG-cw6zm]

Made this over the weekend, followed Joe's instructions to the tee and ended up with the best Tiramisu my wife and I have ever tasted! Note - when Joe says it is better to let it sit overnight he is correct. We tried it after about 5 hours of fridge time and it still didn't completely setup but was delicious. The next day it was Perfect! Whole thing comes together pretty quickly . . . just follow the directions!

[@anthonydoan8020]

Can you tell me where to find the lists of ingredients ? Thank you

[@lorihanson6192]

Thank you for the reminder to let the Tirmasu chill overnight. I'm making mine in the New Year and I'm excited! 🙂

Italian Grandmothers Petitti says to cook & whip legs and sugar over double boiler 5 min and then whip 5 min off heat to cool down before adding Kahlua Whipped Marscupone and whipped cream together and refrigerate 1 hour then construct and she adds Kahlua and 2T cocoa 2T to expresso also and refrigerate 3 days to be best

[@cherub73au]

My Italian mother in law does the same but with masala.

[@raffaellavitiello1762]

Her tiramisu is the very best nothing compare to her recipe and risk of salmonella having raw eggs, she is the best

[@luciagreco152]

Yes!

[@beths3288]

I had cinnamon tiramisu when I was in Rome this year. OMG. It was so good, I could cry.

[@tomg3178]

I’ve had so many versions of tiramisu. A couple of days ago I had a version that was different. The difference was in the consistency and taste of the custard and in the chocolate on top, which was shaved instead of cocoa powder. The form was different as well - looser than the standard firm square. It was my favorite version and seems as though it was prepared in the same way as Joe’s.

[@tonilyday1917]

This is my favorite. Decided since I never get enough I had to make my own. Looked at a gazillion recipes on line and there you were with your original story. So made it. My guests were danged lucky I saved some. Your recipe was so easy and hands down best I ever put in my mouth. Did you know scrapping the pan in the morning, it's still soooo good. You are my favorite chef on UT. Thanks

[@piolina2k]

I made your recipe but square, not round! It’s amazing! I left it in the fridge for 2 days and it turned out great!! I ground my own dark chocolate and it was the perfect touch on the top. Thank you Joe!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰

[@Cookingitalianwithjoe]

Wonderful!

[@veracornell5584]

I will have to make that, it is my favorite dessert! Thanks Joe for your beautiful demonstration ❤️

[@hollyroxy25]

one of my absolute favorite desserts ever! here's a tip to those that are new to making it....do not use those soft lady fingers that you find in your grocery bakery, you want to use the original hard cookies. The hard cookies become moist & soft as they sit & soak everything up so if you use those soft ones it'll turn into a sloppy mess.

[@marieshepherd4774]

Where do u fine the hard ones? Can u let the soft ones out to harden?

[@PamalaNEW]

I fell in love with tiramisu on my nieces 16th birthday. I took her to an Italian restaurant and she ordered this for dessert. Of course I had a bite and that was it for me! I found the most authentic recipe I could find so I could make it at home. It is still to this day the only recipe I will go to the trouble of whipping egg whites for! I've made it with whipping cream and it has a different consistency but the flavor is still delicious. My favorite was the egg whites whipped them folded into the blended yolks and sugar. So good! The only thing I change these days is the alcohol because I do not drink alcohol at all so I don't like a real strong alcohol flavor but I do like for it to have alcohol. I usually have to go to the liquor store and buy one of those little travel size bottles.

[@holinessorhell1964]

Made it today didn't have lots of ingredients from Italy but did what I could with what we had. Came out awesome thank you.

I made this it came out great, only used 2tbs sugar per each batch in blender, no need for extra sugar at plating, to have slices come out cleaner freeze for a few hours so the cuts show layers more cleanly. Best recipe I ever found, great info on history, thanks Joe!

[@Cookingitalianwithjoe]

Donna Pagano Thank you Donna for the kind words and great suggestions. My challenge is I am actually cooking and baking in real time and have my two sons and their friends, usually waiting in the other room clamoring for food. I made the Nutella Cake a while back and tried to rush it for Vito and his friends, not a good idea. Needs to set up in freezer with stakes for two hours min and we skipped some time, LOL! What a mess. Thank you for watching and again for some great ideas. Joe

I am making it for Christmas Eve dinner. I like this recipe because it uses the egg whites as opposed to the other recipes I looked at. I was actually thinking of adding the egg whites before I saw this video but didn't find a recipe I could follow and I didn't want to take a chance and end up with a flop and everyone is waiting on my dessert.

By using a metal spoon for the blending of the aerated custard you deflate less of the mixture, because the metal spoon has sharp fine edges 💡 💡😛🇿🇦

Tell me how you would cook the whites and the yolk in this recipe? My mom made egg nog throughout my childhood then one day I thought ooh raw, I’m 72 and still kicken strong so guess it was OK : )

[@josephscollo439]

Traditional tiramisu does not used cooked eggs. Some people put the bowl over a pot of water and beat the yolks until the eggs reach 160. Not necessary. You would be surprised how many food items use raw eggs. Salad dressings, eggnog, certain frostings etc. perfectly safe.

I refrigerate for THREE days, the BEST! The longer the better but NO less than TWO days...I use way less sugar, add Kahula to espresso bath better taste if you hate so sweet. I like the sharpness of the espresso and kahula. And I steam bath while I beat my eggs and sugar so no way I’m eating raw eggs.

[@peggyscott2180]

D'lish for sure. My concern? The raw components? I can cook the yolk portion over a simmering bath, let it cool, then incorporate, but I'm not sure what to do about the egg whites? Maybe whipping cream? What do you think?

[@luciagreco152]

Whipping cream is better than the egg whites-very creamy custard and I find it to be more delicious

If I pasteurized the whites (Swiss meringue) & yokes would it change the fluffy texture or anything? I’ve eaten the is way raw for like ever and hasn’t killed me. My family is asking that’s why.

No. In the original Tiramisu, eggs are used RAW. Use the highest quality and freshest eggs you can get. I've done it and nothing bad happened ever. Just enjoyment.

[@hollyroxy25]

no you don't cook the egg yolks, they're used raw in the custard. If you're uncomfortable with raw eggs you can skip the yolks & just use the egg whites.

I’m sure it taste fine however I’m a little bit sceptical about eating raw eggs therefore I prefer when the eggs are cooked when I make mine I only use yolks not the whites I cook my eggs with sugar and milk to make a custard and then I had the mascarpone cheese once cooled, then add the whipped cream

Joe I love to watch you prepare these amazing recipes, The tiramisu, however concerns me as the eggs are raw. Isn’t that risky for salmonella. In Africa when I used to make putting using whipped egg whites we never had a problem , But I’ve never used raw egg yolks.

[@dbabies82]

It's like when you make ceviche with raw fish or raw shrimp... The lime juice breaks down the structure of the fish/shrimp, which basically cooks it in a way, so they are no longer raw. In this case, the sugar breaks down the structure of the egg yolk, so it's cooking it in a way... You have to mix it long enough for it to happen. You can also pasteurize the yolk by mixing both together over a double boiler.
