I'm not a fan of coffee flavoured desserts, cakes and puddings, but will say that looks delicious!
Wonderful to learn how to make our own mascarpone 😃👍🏻♥️. It's been ages since I ate tiramisu and that was with another cream cheese than mascarpone. I'm looking forward to making this recipe.
Looks fabulous can’t wait to try it
Thanks, Dave. Looks beautiful 👍🇨🇦
another banger of a video as per usual
Interesting how you male this. I'm not convinced your marscapone is less expensive than a 250gm tub.
My Italian husband makes the best traditional:
250gm marscapone
6 eggs separated
6 tablespoons of sugar
espresso
Brandy
Lady finger or sponge biscuits
Whip the egg whites to stiff peaks. Put aside.
Cream together yolks and sugar with a hand mixer
Whisk in the marscapone, till well combined.
Fold in the egg whites
Mix espresso and brandy (or you could use whisky, amaretto, etc
Dip biscuits into the espresso mix and layer in a glass serving dish, alternating with the egg mixture. Finish with the egg mixture. Sprinkle with cocoa powder.
Serve immediately.
Thanks for another great recipe can’t wait to try making this.
Hi Dave. Could you clarify the fat content of “Double Cream”?
I’m in Canada, and I think we usually use Whipping Cream in place of “Double Cream”, but I don’t think the fat content is exactly the same.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen something called “Double Cream” in any store I’ve shopped at.
Thank you. It looks delicious!
Can’t wait to try this! Thank you for all your great recipes and demos!!♥️
Lovely Dave – a wonderful desert that doesn’t break the bank – cheers from Tassy – Mark
Oh delicious! I make tiramisu but I think I'll change to your recipe. Thank you very much.
Thank you for sharing this delicious recipe. ❤
It'll be a bit more expensive if you add the splash of marsala wine 😉
Wow Dave that looks delicious and thank you for sharing the mascarpone recipe too , Amanda xx
Beautiful – what a wonderful treat !❤
What a coincidence, I also made my first tiramisu batch a few days ago. Two things I've learned is that dunking time is very important for texture (mine turned out a touch mushy) and not to stretch the mascarpone cream too thin. Thanks for the lesson on cheesemaking, happy cooking!
As usual absolutely fantastic 👍👍, Easter is on the way will you please show us how to make hot cross buns 👍
That looks delicious 😋👍
