  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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!

  4. 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!
