Tiramisù
Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert known for its rich, creamy layers and coffee dipped biscuits. It’s made by soaking biscuits in espresso, then layering them with a smooth mixture of mascarpone cheese, eggs, and sugar. Finally, it’s topped with a dusting of dark cocoa powder for a touch of indulgence. The name “Tiramisu” literally means “pick me up” in Italian perfectly capturing its sweet, energising, and irresistible taste!
This is our personal tiramisù recipe. It’s the way we make it at home, shaped by family influence, practice, and taste over time. We sharing it exactly as we prepare it simple, balanced, and meant to be enjoyed.

How to Make Our Classic Tiramisu
- Prepare the eggs: Separate the egg whites from the yolks.
- Whip the yolks: In a bowl, mix the yolks with 6 tablespoons of sugar until the mixture becomes pale and creamy.
- Add mascarpone: Mix the 600g of mascarpone cheese into the yolk mixture until smooth and creamy.
- Whip the egg whites: In a separate bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until stiff peaks form. Carefully fold them into the mascarpone mixture with a spoon to keep it light and airy.
- Prepare the coffee layer: Brew 8 strong espressos and let them cool slightly.
- Assemble the dessert: Quickly dip the Pavesini biscuits into the espresso just enough to soak without becoming soggy! Place a layer of soaked biscuits in your serving dish. Spread a layer of the mascarpone mixture on top. Repeat the layers until all ingredients are used.
- Finish and chill: Dust the top with cocoa powder. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or overnight, to let the flavours meld.
