The Italian coffee dessert Tiramisu, which can be translated as "lift me up," was invented relatively recently – in the 1960s. Since then, its delicate and refined flavor has won millions of fans worldwide. The classic tiramisu recipe typically consists of mascarpone cheese, savoiardi biscuits (lady fingers), coffee, egg yolks, cream, and cocoa. However, other ingredients, such as nuts, liqueurs, and chocolate, are sometimes added. The main highlight of the dessert is the melting coffee-soaked biscuits.

Tiramisu can be made in a large pan and then sliced, or in individual bowls. For better whipping, the cream should be chilled first.

Ingredients:

• 2 cups of strong coffee
• 90 ml. amaretto liqueur
• 3 egg yolks
• 1 and 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream, divided
• 0.5 cups of sugar
• 2 tbsp. mascarpone cheese

Preparation:

Step 1
• In a bowl or shallow dish, combine strong coffee and amaretto.
  
  Coffee in a French press
  
  If you don't have a coffee machine, you can make strong coffee by brewing dark roast coffee in a French press..
Step 2
• Fill a small saucepan with water to a depth of 5 cm and bring to a boil over high heat. In a small heatproof bowl, which can be placed on top of the water, combine the egg yolks and 1/2 cup heavy cream.
  
  Place the bowl over a double boiler and, stirring constantly, heat the mixture to 165°F (71°C) until it thickens, about 5-6 minutes. Remove the bowl and continue stirring for 3-4 minutes. Let it cool completely for 10-15 minutes.
Step 3
• Pour the remaining cream, cream, and yolk mixture into the bowl of a stand mixer, and add the sugar. Beat for 3-5 minutes until soft peaks form. Add the mascarpone cheese and mix well.
Step 4
• Place the cookies in a single layer in a 22x32 cm pan.
  
  A mold of this size should yield approximately 3 cookies per 6-row cookie cutter. Then dip each cookie stick into the coffee-liqueur mixture and return it to the mold. Top with half the cream and sprinkle with half the prepared cocoa powder.
  
  Repeat the next layer. Cover the pan tightly with cling film and refrigerate for 6 to 12 hours.
Step 5
• Sprinkle the finished Tiramisu dessert with grated chocolate, cut into square cakes with a sharp knife and serve immediately.
