Tiramisu is a traditional Italian dessert made with biscuits soaked in coffee, mascarpone cheese, eggs, sugar, whipped cream, and cocoa powder. Tiramisu means 'make me happy' in Italian, and it is a charming dessert with a sweet and soft taste and aroma. Today, I would like to introduce you to the most popular tiramisu recipe in the United States.

## Ingredients

- Biscuits (Savoiardi) 24 pieces

- Mascarpone cheese 2 cups

- Eggs 5 (separate yolks and whites)

- Sugar 5 tablespoons

- Whipped cream 2 cups (whip until thick)

- Espresso coffee 4 cups

- Cocoa powder as needed

## How to make

1. In a large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar until creamy.

2. Add the mascarpone cheese and mix well.

3. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.

4. Gently fold the egg white foam into the mascarpone cream.

5. Dip the biscuits in the coffee one by one and let them absorb some moisture. If the biscuits are too soggy, the tiramisu will collapse.

6. Layer the biscuits on a baking dish, spread half of the cream over them, layer another layer of biscuits, spread the remaining cream over them, and sprinkle cocoa powder over them.

7. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours and enjoy.

## Tips

- Mascarpone cheese is an Italian cream cheese that has a smooth and rich taste. 

- Biscuits are Italian sponge cookies that go well with coffee. 

- Coffee is best to use espresso coffee. The flavor and taste of coffee determine the taste of tiramisu. 

- Cocoa powder is best to use unsweetened cocoa powder. 

- If you like alcohol, you can add 1 to 2 tablespoons of marsala wine, amaretto, brandy, rum, etc. to the mascarpone cream.

- Tiramisu tastes better the next day. Store it in the refrigerator and eat it within 2 to 3 days.
