4 Levels of Tiramisu: Amateur to Food Scientist

4 Levels of Tiramisu: Amateur to Food Scientist | Epicurious

We challenged chefs of three different skill levels - amateur Desi, home cook Daniel, and professional chef Jurgen David, director of pastry research and development at the Institute of Culinary Education - to make us their take on a classic tiramisu. Once each level of chef had presented their creations, we asked expert food scientist Rose to explain the choices each made along the way. Which tiramisu will you be your next sweet treat?

They all look amazing, but I’m Italian and I use my grandmother recipe…there is no custard in tiramisu. Is only eggs, sugar, mascarpone, ladyfingers and espresso+amaretto shot if you like but not mandatory. You mix two tablespoons of sugar with two egg yolks, you then beat the whites until firm, mix everything together with mascarpone slowly and this is your cream. Then you layer your ladyfingers and dip them in espresso as you go. Top with cocoa. Again all of the recipes look amazing and I mean no disrespect.

Only eggs, sugar, mascarpone, ladyfingers and espresso coffees (but instead of amaretto liqueur, I use my mom's homemade coffee liqueur). It's even tastier if made the night before 😊
