How to make a classic tiramisù dessert from Treviso! | Pasta Grannies

Mara's tiramisù is an excellent, get ahead and indulgent dessert for the holidays. There are so many variations on this, across the world, but key things to remember are: use great quality ingredients (espresso please, not instant coffee) and don't let your Savoyard/lady fingers biscuits turn to mush. Mara shows how easy it is.
PS We have a sweet not a pasta this week because Heliana (my other editor) has Covid, and I'm saving a tortellini episode for Christmas Eve.🙂

I love that for the most part you don't translate what the grannies say, but give them subtitles. I've been learning Italian for a while and it's a great opportunity for me to listen to native speakers. Movies are still above my knowledge, but cooking videos work great. Also the nonnas often aren't talking as fast as younger people which makes it easier as well. Aaaand of course I love food. 😂

[@aserra69]

Agreed! This is on of the many reasons I watch these grannies!

[@pastagrannies]

I'm glad you are happy with subtitles; I'm not a fan of dubbing or talking over the ladies. 🙂 best wishes, Vicky

[@thewhitehorsefarm]

Me, too!

[@richardorvos4095]

Exactly! I wouldn't mind videos fully subtitled, so i can practise a bit, haha

[@vincenzosplate]

This is the real Tiramisù 😍❤ Brava Mara!

[@mdrakic]

And I was just thinking of mailing you this link Vicenzo. You are everywhere 👨‍🍳

[@Daniel-rz8vy]

I was looking in the comments for you Vicenzo 😅🤣.

[@GuidoBatt]

Not really. Whipped whites are hard to digest, and coffee wants some rum in it, or at least marsala ( it's like Port wine).

[@klaudia2141]

@@GuidoBatt whipped whites are hard to digest? isn't it harder to digest sugar, whipped cream and mascarpone? you literally said the lightest ingredient in the whole dessert is hard to digest.

[@GuidoBatt]

@@klaudia2141 Well, sugar needs no digestion at all, it goes in the blood in seconds. Whipped cream and Mascarpone are fats, not easy to process (it's a job for the pancrreas) but still easier than the proteins of the eggs. The problem with the egg's white is that it contains an anti-vitamin, that is inactivated when cooked (look for: avidin).

I am married to an Italian and these videos are very helpful! Thank you for keeping all these culinary traditions alive!

Glad you like them! best wishes Vicky

My grandmother was from Treviso and used to make Tiramisù, it's my favourite desert. Unfortunately she passed away before I could learn any of her recipes, so am going to attempt the recipe shown in this video today. Thanks for the video Pasta Grannies and Mara.

[@shichimen]

I just love this nonna, I like her kitchen as well. It reminds me on my childhood. My mother also gave me yolks with sugar when I wanted something sweet. And the way how Mara work, patiently, with no hurry and with love, which is the most important ingredient. God bless you Mara.

So appreciative of these videos, where many traditions are still documented - Thank You - to the videographers, Vicky, and of course, the Expert Grannies, and All who support their endeavors in their Families and Communities! Eataly! Brava!!!

There is no more wonderful show in the world. After Bourdain left us we are now left with this jewel. Grazie!

[@GustawJaworski]

Sambuca, Prosecco, this granny know how to live 😎

[@fjoralbagolikja9478]

This just unlocked an old memory for me, the zabaiòn, with the egg yolks with sugar that my grandma also used to make to us when we were young. I have never tried it again ever since, but it was a sweet moment, thinking that grandmas despite being from different cultures share this common thread amongst them. Thank you!

[@ninaelsbethgustavsen2131]

My friend and I would make ourselves this treat, as teens... It's called "eggedosis" here. L🥚ve from Norway 😋😋

[@HeavyInYourArms12]

What a lovely nonna! Now i am craving tiramisu! The first recipe with the eggs and sugar i used to eat it a lot as a kid. It was very popular in Greece when i was growing up and my grandmother was making it with eggs from her hen house.

Wow, this is the simplest version I have ever seen ... and looks super delicious!!! Grazie tante 😊😊😊

[@Javaman92]

[@lucaschiantodipepe2015]

I read that Tiramisù (this is the authentic word) is from Treviso (Veneto Region). 🇮🇹My grandma too, born in 1911,gave me as a child the zabajone, no idea if inside there was any sort of liquor. 🤣 I remember that she shaked by hand eggs, with coffe and sugar. By the way I tasted a version of modern Tiramisù with roasted barley coffe that was good anyway.

[@massimilianotosi7585]

My mom from Verona did the same. The grown up version had a splash of Marsala in it!😋

[@marika7998]

Actually Tiramisù isn't from Treviso, It Is from Friuli Venezia Giulia. That's what the Ministery on Agriculture said.

[@gborsonello]

So good to see it 😍 My grandma used to make me every morning il zabaiòn, egg yolks with sugar. Rauw. To give me energy 😊 When I got older, she'd add liquor to it, whatever we had at home, sometimes also a grappina. Freschin freschin 🤗🥰

[@paolagrando5079]

I hated when I was given as a kid bitten egg with Marsala and sometimes lady finger biscuits. I never thought of the possibility that it was a step away from being a tiramisù, but it makes sense. I make my own version without eggs, with mascarpone and ricotta, amaretti biscuits and chopped dark chocolate on the top instead of the choco powder.

Grazie mille. ❤
