How To Make A Dessert Tiramisu?

Tiramisu is a modern dessert of Italian origin that has captivated guests from all over the world since its appearance in the fifties. Its ingredients are very appetizing, so it is very easy for anyone to be excited to try it. And what are these ingredients? No more and no less than Mascarpone cheese and a delicious touch of coffee, liqueur and cocoa powder.

Of course, the tiramisu dessert can be prepared with other types of cheese (as long as they are fresh and have a creamy consistency) and the base can be a biscuit. What is important in this recipe is the black coffee: it must be well concentrated so that the flavor is adequate.

Tiramisu nutritional information

Tiramisu, of course, contains sugar, so we shouldn’t overindulge in it. It can be prepared with substitutes such as stevia or honey, but that will be up to us. On the other hand, we must take into account that the chocolate that is added must always be dark (preferably with a high percentage of cocoa, so that it is healthier).

Before proceeding with the recipe, we believe that it is necessary to comment on the nutritional value of tiramisu so that you know more or less the amount of calories you consume in a serving.

Some suggestions for your tiramisu dessert

You’ve already seen how simple it is to prepare this dessert and the only thing is that you must have the patience to wait to share it. It is very likely that when you taste the tiramisu you prepared at home, you will not find it similar to what you buy on the street. This is because it is usually made with heavy cream.

To accompany your dessert, you can opt for a delicious cup of coffee (avoid the dark), or you can also accompany it with a good tea or infusion of your choice. Children can enjoy it with a citrus fruit juice and water. Older people can accompany it with half a glass of medium-bodied red wine to enhance its flavor.
