Questions about Tiramisu
How do you stop the sponge fingers in tiramisu from going soggy?
Dip each one briefly in cold, strong coffee—just long enough to coat it—rather than leaving it to soak. They’ll soften further as the tiramisu chills.
How long should tiramisu chill before serving?
Chill it for at least 4 hours so the layers set and the coffee flavour settles in. Overnight gives an especially neat slice.
How should you store leftover tiramisu?
Cover it and keep it in the fridge; because classic tiramisu can contain raw eggs, eat it within 24 hours. Don’t leave it at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Does tiramisu contain raw eggs?
Traditional recipes often use raw eggs whipped with sugar, then folded into mascarpone. For a version without raw egg, use pasteurised eggs or make an egg-free cream with mascarpone and whipped cream.
Can you make tiramisu without alcohol?
Yes. Leave out the marsala, rum or coffee liqueur; espresso alone gives the familiar flavour. You can add a little vanilla to the mascarpone cream instead.
What can you use instead of sponge fingers in tiramisu?
Use plain, dry sponge cake cut into strips, or plain biscuits that soften without falling apart. Dip them quickly in coffee, as you would sponge fingers.
Where does tiramisu come from?
Tiramisu is an Italian layered dessert made with coffee-soaked sponge fingers, mascarpone cream and cocoa. Its name means “pick me up” in Italian.
