A treat for a festive and everyday table - fruit tiramisu. TOP 5 recipes. Secrets of making savoyardi cookies and cheese for Mascarpone. Video recipe.
A rich, aromatic, light sweet dish will decorate any table - a delicate summer dessert - fruit tiramisu. The authorship of the recipe belongs to Italian chefs who are very inventive gourmets. It is unknown when this layered, airy dessert was first made. But now it is one of the most popular in the world. Making real tiramisu at home is not easy. Although the cooking technology is extremely simple, it is difficult to find real Italian products like fresh mascarpone cheese, Savoyardi cookies and Marsala culinary wine. In this review, recipes for fruit tiramisu are proposed, where some products have been replaced with analogues that are easy to find in stores. But the taste of the dessert matches the original delicacy as much as possible.
Secrets of making fruit tiramisu
- Real tiramisu requires fresh mascarpone cheese. It is a sweet Italian cream cheese with 75% fat. It is sold in regular stores. You can replace mascarpone with any cream cheese, such as philadelphia or buco, or take fresh fatty cottage cheese or cream.
- For dessert, you will need savoyardi biscuit cookies, which are made from sugar, flour and eggs. The cookie has an elongated shape and a porous structure, so it absorbs cream and liquid well, while not disintegrating. Instead of savoyardi, a delicate biscuit is often used.
- For impregnation, a strong Sicilian wine Marsala is used, reminiscent of Madeira, but sweeter. Italian wine is a good substitute for cognac, rum or liqueur.
- Tiramisu may contain other additional products: espresso coffee, fruits, berries, cocoa powder, nuts, chocolate, raisins, coconut, etc.
- If the cake is prepared for children, replace alcohol and coffee with fruit juice or cocoa.
- Another feature of tiramisu is that it is not baked, but cooled in the refrigerator. In texture, it resembles a soft pudding melting in the mouth, sweet, light, delicate airy.
How to make savoyardi cookies
Interestingly, the recipe for this antique cookie has not changed for 5 centuries. Savoyardi is prepared very simply, and without baking powder and soda. The baking is splendid and airy because of the separately beaten egg whites. It is important that the eggs for beating are at room temperature.
Ingredients:
- Egg whites - 3 pcs.
- Egg yolks - 2 pcs.
- Sugar - 30 g in proteins, 30 g in yolks
- Flour - 50 g
- Powdered sugar - 30 g
Making savoyardi cookies:
- Beat the egg whites with a mixer until firm peaks.
- Add sugar to the egg mass and continue beating until a homogeneous protein mixture is obtained.
- Whisk the yolks with sugar until fluffy and milky.
- Combine the yolks with the protein mass and add the flour sifted through a fine sieve.
- Stir the dough gently to prevent the proteins from falling off and place it in a pastry bag.
- Cover a baking sheet with oiled baking paper and squeeze out the dough in strips 10-12 cm long at a distance of 4-5 cm, because the dough will rise during baking. Place the finished dough immediately on a baking sheet until it is saturated with air bubbles. Because the longer it stands, the worse it will rise.
- Sift the icing sugar onto the cookies and wait until it is absorbed. After 5-10 minutes, sprinkle the cakes with icing sugar again to create a crispy crust on the cookies.
- Bake the savoyards in the oven at 200 ° C for 10-13 minutes until golden beige. If your oven has a convection function, turn it on to brown the cookies.
- When hot, the biscuits are soft, and after cooling, they harden, as it should be.
