One thing to note. Make sure the egg yolks and mascarpone mixture is cooled before mixing in the whipped cream. Mine wasn’t and my cream mixture looked curdled

Nice recipe, I love tiramisu! Here in Italy the classic version of tiramisu requires 1 small sized egg per 100g of mascarpone cheese - so, for instance, 5 eggs for 500g of mascarpone. Many italians tend to reduce the amount of eggs (like, 3 eggs for 500g of cheese). Also, there's no whipping cream - the extra air is given by whipped egg whites which are supposed to be folded in the sugar+yolks (to be beaten beforehand) and mascarpone mix (to which you may add a tablespoon of liqueur, here Marsala wine is pretty popular). The "traditional version from the 80s" doesn't require any cooking or double boiling but if you're afraid of using raw eggs (which is mainly a concern for little kids of pregnant women) you may attempt a bland pasteurization, being careful not to make it cook or it'll get lumpy - and to add the yolks+sugar mixture ONLY after it reached room temperature. The trick of not over-soaking ladyfingers is actually true and it makes a difference; also, beware of your coffee dip temperature, if it's still kinda warm it'll soak more easily your biscuits. Not to mention that not all ladyfingers from marts are the same, some are more prone to fast absorbing than others... You'll eventually find your favourite brand and adjust the needed soaking time.

I made this recipe and OMG soooo yummy. Definitely recommend and easy to make 👌 my family loved it. -1/2 cup dark rum -1 1/2 to 2 cups espresso -16oz room temperature mascarpone (450g) -1/4 cup dark rum (60mL) (to be mixed with the mascarpone) -6 large egg yolk -2/3 cup granulated sugar (133g) -2 cups heavy whipping cream (480L) -2 tsp vanilla

I have been making tiramisu for 50+ years. When my kids were little, they did not like the coffee flavor, so I made it with Mexican hot chocolate instead, and it was a huge hit at sleepovers. Once I made two versions for a large neighborhood party, and we did a side-by-side taste test. Among 30+ tasters, 100% preferred the Mexican chocolate version over the espresso. I have never looked back, though I do pay homage to the original by decorating the top with chocolate covered espresso beans.

I've recently developed an addiction to tiramisu so this is a blessing.

John: I help you make dishes to share with friends & family! Me: eats it all myself

Oh boy! This dessert is hands down my favorite😂 I could eat all that tiramisu by myself in a sitting... It's insane. My nonna didn't skip the rum or coffee and we as kids would have some and just go to take a nap while the adults chatted 🥴 I also had ladyfinger as snacks for kindergarten and apple juice... I'm 26 and I still remember my mom packing some for me and being unable to wait until break to have them ahahah. Again, thank you for the amazing videos... it's making me remember things from my childhood that I thought I've forgotten!

Thank you, John! I just made this for a neighbor (with your ladyfinger recipe as well). It smells and looks just beautiful. Setting in the fridge now. Man, I’ve used so many of your recipes, but I never think to put a huge THANK YOU in the comments. You are a terrific teacher, and I’ve never had a “fail” with any of your recipes. I just can’t thank you enough.

I’m a purist; PLEASE post a Lady Fingers recipe! This looks amazing. I can’t wait to try it! Thx John.

Option 3 if you can’t find lady fingers at your local grocery store: move.

I just want to say this gentlemen has the most soothing voice...he's probably great with kids...great recipe

I laughed when he said he made it for his birthday because I came searching for a good recipe so I could make it for my own birthday this week 😅

John “No baking involved” Me: This is for me

Love Preppy Kitchen and his actual kitchen, especially the stove! I made this tiramisu twice this past Christmas and it came out perfect. My family have already requested I make it again. I even entered a desert contest at work. I came in 2nd place with this recipe. I'll take that for my first time entering any kind of desert contest. My co-workers loved it!!

Watching these cooking recipes are sooo wholesome! Love cooking stuff like this!! So therapeutic!!

I made my first ever Tiramisu using this recipe video and it came out so delicious. I made this recently for my husband's birthday and he loves Tiramisu. We all loved it. Thank you, John.

I’m obsessed with your videos and recipes John! This looks so delicious, thanks for constantly blessing us 🤩:)

Made this for Christmas dessert and now making it for Valentine’s Day! Just so amazing 🤩

I love that it’s not toooooooo sweet

One of my favorite deserts I want to perfect for thanksgiving!!!! This is my go to channel for any recipe because everything I’ve ever made from this, has NEVER FAILED!!!!! Thanks for your amazing videos ❤️

I made this for my husband’s birthday and it was delicious! This recipe is now going to be stay in the family. It’s so easy and simple to follow. Thanks for sharing!

I love how you cook the egg yolk into a zabaglione. Can't wait to prepare this dessert!!! One of my favorite frostings is Italian Meringue. Great way to use up the egg whites. You can make an omelet with the whites too. Your videos and recipes are wonderful.

This is I don’t know how many times that I made tiramisu with your recipe and it tastes amazing! It’s pleasantly wonderful. Thank you.

I have started following preppy kitchen recently, and by far, its the best cooking channel EVER!!!! I love to try out all the recipes exactly as John shows them, so it would be great if you could post the recipe of ladyfingers😊🙏🏻

I'm going to have to make this *teramisoon!*

This is the second recipe I'm trying from this channel. Absolutely brilliant. Always turn out amazing. 10/10

Your tiramisu recipe was a hit this weekend. Thank you for great description and instructions. Can’t wait till I make another of your pastries

Tiramisu🤤 what a lovely dessert from a lovely chef❤

This recipe was a hit at Thanksgiving! Everyone loved it! Thank you!!

What an amazing recipe with just the right amount of sweetness! My whole family absolutely loved this dessert…thanking you so much for sharing…sending you hugs 💖

Made this for my sister’s birthday! Everyone loved it!! Thank youuu xxx

For a more unique and complex flavour, try using marsala wine instead of run or coffee liqueur! I’m told using marsala wine in tiramisu is traditional in some parts of Italy. Also, it’s traditional to use whipped egg whites instead of whipped cream to floof up the dessert, cuts back on the richness while keeping all the flavour 😊 Of course, uncooked egg whites worry some people, so you can either buy pasteurized egg whites, or whip the egg whites over a double boiler, to bring it up to the temperature that would kill salmonella (can’t remember it off the top of my head)

Mr. John, I just want to thank you for blessing us with your amazing AMAZINGGG channel! you have been a blessing to me since I found your channel. All the tips and tricks you provide us in every video have made my life so much easier when cooking! I am 24 years old, and I've recently developed an obsession with baking! it all started with a box cake! LOL, then a "tweaked" box cake to make it taste a tad better and my desire to learn more homemade recipes grew and I FOUND YOUR CHANNEL. I tried you vanilla cake recipe and OH MY GOD!. game changer! I have been asked to bake a cake for a christening this Saturday and I have been watching your decoration videos non stop, I hope I do justice to what I've learned in your channel! thank you for taking the time to uploading, and making your videos. I really appreciate that you provide "raw" content, if you spill something, if you make a little mess with the powdered sugar! LOL or if something doesn't go right, you leave it in the video and you teach us how to fix it. That's not something you see in every channel, you make it know that there are mistakes to be made but there are mistakes that can be fixed! I hope you continue to make these amazing videos, with the same charm and enthusiasm you make them! It truly makes you feel like you are in our kitchens teaching us! (I figured I could make this comment in overall of your whole channel, since this is the most recent video I think there is a higher chance of you actually reading my comment! lol) Many blessings to you and your family these holidays! thank you for everything! :)

I made this exactly as instructed and it was the BEST tiramisu my husband has had even better than an authentic Italian restaurant! Excellent!! I love all your recipes! Thank you for being so detailed in your directions.

Ever since making this guy’s cream puffs, I swear by his recipes 🛐 They’re so good

I enjoy watching your videos + trying out the recipes. It’s so fun making new desserts! I can’t wait to create this! ❤️

I love this dessert! many times I’ve found that in some restaurants it is not as rich as it should be, they sadly used cream mixed with the mascarpone. Your recipe is just perfect!

Did this at Christmas and it was amazing the family loved it. For tonight Valentine’s Day I’ve gone for a twist buttering lady fingers with blood orange marmalade soaking the sides with Tia Maria using Marsala Wine in the mascarpone and as well as cocoa powder I’ve crushed dark chocolate orange on top. 2 helpings says it all 😮

John, thank you for this recipe! Made it for Father’s Day, and it was perfect! 🤤

I love this recipe, you have changed my dilemma of hating cooking! Thank you for inspiring me

Loved your recipe, made it and it's real yummy.

Love this channel and love the recipes you’d sharing with us thank you 🙏🏼

Made this several time. It’s my go-to recipe. ❤ Now days when there are so many recipes online Preppy Kitchen is one of the few trustworthy, tested, and pro source that you can rely on. Even of you’ve never tried a recipe you can trust that it will turn out well because John knows what he’s doing.

Just made this. It is utterly divine! The best recipe I've found yet and made the perfect amount to share with all my friends!

One of my favorite things to eat! Can’t wait to try your recipe🥺! My boyfriend and I have made so many of your recipes in these times hahahah you’re awesome

Never get disappointed with your videos, they are all fun and good recipes. I followed your recipe and I baked a lot of yummy dishes to share with my friends and family. My tiramisu is also gorgeous using your recipe. Thank you John!

I made these for my wife's birthday last week. To be clear, I don't bake, I don't mix, and I don't double boil. All new concepts for this lug. Your recipe, and video, saved me! It turned out great!! I had to use marguerite cookies instead of lady fingers, which worked just fine. Thanks so much... You made me look like a hero!

Hi John, I followed your instructions. It came out perfectly! Thank you for the helpful tips!

I would LOVE a Lady Finger recipe as I can't get these in my country! Thanks John, amazing as always!

I love that you put this video out. I have been planning to make tiramisu for Thanksgiving dessert (benefit of having a tiny thanksgiving this year: fancy dish opportunities) and it always helps to have more references for technique and recipe formation. Thank you! It looks delicious!

I Made made this for my Granddaughter's 20th Birthday. I Used Marsala instead of Rum and shaved shaved a dark chocolate bar on top just before cutting it for a beautiful finish. Your instructions were easy to follow, and so Delicious! Thank you so much for sharing,. definitely a keeper and favorite of mine, Tina Ringue

Loved your plating dishes

2:50 John: Put the custard in the fridge while you whip the cream. The custard: DON'T YOU (da da da doo doo) FORGET ABOUT MEEE...

I don't even eat flour or sugar, but I watch a lot of your videos, because they are wholesome and satisfying. Cheers from Poland!

Since my husband's B/Day in September of this year, this is the 5th time we are going to enjoy it. Wow, delicious! Everybody loves it. Thank you, John. Merry Christmas to you and all your family!!!

i’ve made this recipe twice and both times it turned out delicious. All my guests raved about it! It’s not complicated, but it takes time to whip everything up. The results are so worth it though. Second and third day are the best… if it lasts that long 😋. Thank you so much John.👏👏👏😋😋😋

Tiramisu, wow, very interesting. You did a great job chef here is my full support.

You deserve all the success this platform has to offer. You're great and so are your videos 😭😭😍😍

Tried this for the first time and definitely see where I went wrong with melting the mascarpone… I just want to say that I love this guy and Delivery and his quirks and humor Thank you for teaching us how to make such awesome things

I am so grateful for this video you have done. I make it so often just the way you have instructed, and it has become a family and friends' .

I was taught a very traditional style when I spent a summer in Italy. She spoke very little English and I spoke next to no Italian but we managed. 17yrs later and I still make it the same way. No whip cream, instead make very stiff meringue and mix that into the custard. Also no alcohol. There are so many versions of this yummy dessert!

The only thing I do differently is to whip the egg yolks after heating them, until they are thick and lemon colored, then I add them to the mascarpone. I find it sets firmer that way. The lady finger recipe you shared is amazing! I have a dairy cow, so I was able to make my own mascarpone and whipped cream 😊

The tiramisu came out perfect! Wonderful recipe. Love it!

This was delicious! Everyone loved it at Christmas, perfect!

This was really delicious. I made it for Xmas and because of COVID regulations and small numbers at our dinner table it lasted for 3 days of dessert. Will definitely make it again and it’ll be perfect when I can have all my family back home for Xmas dinner . Thank You John 🤗

I love that you gave us the history of the dessert!! History and math from measuring, ect. qualifies as a homeschooling lesson. Therefore me and the kids are doing this for "school" today. 😂

Just finshed making this dessert and have it chilling in my fridge until tomorrow! I can hardly wait to finally try it!!

Ok my dear just made this and I’m very excited to taste this tomorrow! Thank you for sharing ❤️

Maybe you’ll have to make a lady finger recipe next 🤭😁

Just made this using your recipe and it came out so well. It's chilling in the fridge for tomorrow night's dessert! 🍰😍

I just made this and it's chilling on the fridge. I hope it turns out good !

You are just a fantastic chef I’m loving your recipes

I would love a ladyfinger recipe! I've always wanted to make tiramisu completely from scratch 😊

John, you should use Tía María or coffee liqueur, really makes the difference. Great recipe, it looks soooooo yummy!

Just made this for my neighbor who is coming over today. It's currently in the fridge setting up. I test tasted the cream during prep and it was good!

I followed this exact recipe... So good, genuinely the best tiramisu I've ever eaten.

My hobbies: Gardening Cooking Gaming Studying animals Drawing I got youtubers for every hobby. Cooking youtubers are a new addition

I made this Tiramisu 2 weeks before Easter and it was so good, I made it for Easter! I could not believe how creamy, smooth and flavorful the tiramisu came out, not to mention how easy it was to make. I used 2 airplane bottles of Khalua, added a generous splash to the marscapone and the rest went into the espresso. Honestly, it was better than the Italian store where I get my favorite tiramisu. If you’re thinking about making this recipe, DO IT. John has the best outline and instructions to make it almost foolproof!

I used this recipe to make Tiramisu for my husband’s birthday instead of cake (also used his lady fingers recipe) and it was a hit! Amazingly rich and creamy! The only two things that I deviated from was the coffee/rum dip, I instead did coffee/kahlua/Mr Coffee to booze it up more 👌 and I folded in Hazelnut spread to the batter. It was the perfect balance of creamy and sweetness. I’m going to make it again soon! Thank you 🙏

I prepared this recipe many times and it’s always delicious. Many thanks 🙏🏻✨

Best tiramisu ever. I used this recipe for New Year's dinner and it was a huge success

Dark Rum, Kalua, Frangelico, Tia Maria, Amaretto, hey, just about any sweet liquer works in this dish. But, oh no! They contain demon alcohol!!! If you have kids or people in recovery about whom you're concerned, just heat your liquer of choice and light it with a lighter. Ethanol burns with a beautiful blue flame, and after it goes out, you can add the liquid to your recipe with less alcohol than you would find in vanilla extract. I am in recovery and I endorse this message.

Looks delicious and fairly easy to do. Can’t wait to try it out. Thanks .

Great recipe!!! Thanks a bunch!

Please do make a video on lady fingers! Fun fact BTW: in the Netherlands we call them lange vingers, which translates to long fingers

Love how he is always so motivated! Makes me want to bake something too haha😩

I made this recipe and it turned out to be amazing. I was so impressed with the results thanks for making this video. I used dark spiced rum and it was divine.

I just now finished making this. Now the chill and wait game. Thanks, I enjoy watching your videos; they're motivating.

I really would like to see your version of strawberry pavola cake or walnut/pistachio Baklava, I don’t really know how to make it :) I relay on many of your fool proof recipes and it never failed me so it would be awesome to see baklava being made by you :D Never stop baking! You really are an amazing chef

I never thought I’d hear the word “entomb” in a cooking video 😉

Fabulous recipe, not too sweet, but a real show-stopper -- thank you!!!

I just did this and it's soooooooo delicious. Thank you for sharing this fabulous recipe. I am loving it!!

Never seen it made with rum before. We always use Amaretto, but I will give the rum a try 😋

Thank you for this recipe! My mom LOVED it!!!!

I used African cream liqueur instead of rum because it’s what I had and the tiramisu turned out AMAZING. Literally the best I’ve ever had. Thank you!

I would love to watch a video on making lady fingers.

This looks amazing, could you please make a lady fingers recipe? I’m a huge fan

Thank you for the recipe. Amazing!

I have made this several times and love it. Thank you

If you worried about the raw eggs in the mascarpone custard then you can just mix 3 ounces of mascarpone with some powdered sugar and whipped cream! Trust me its so good
