Ingredients

Servings

Savoyardi cookies

24 pcs
Cream 33%

250 G
Cottage cheese

200 G
Sugar

200 G
Orange zest

2 tsp
Strong, sweet coffee

200 ml
Cocoa

1 tbsp

Preparation

Step 1

Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take the cream out of the refrigerator last. It needs to be cold to whip properly. You can substitute cottage cheese with cream cheese if desired.

Step 2

Mix the cottage cheese with half the sugar and blend with an immersion blender until smooth and pasty. Dry cottage cheese works best for making the curd cream. If you're using watery cottage cheese, let it hang in several layers of cheesecloth first.

Step 3

Pour the cream into a clean bowl and beat on medium speed until thick and soft peaks form. Add the remaining sugar and beat until the sugar granules are completely dissolved.

Step 4

Add the prepared curd mixture to the cream. Mix with a mixer at medium speed until smooth. Add zest if desired. Vanilla sugar can be used instead. Stir.

Step 5

Quickly dip the cookies one by one in the cooled strong coffee. Place them in the bottom of the pan. You can make tiramisu in any pan or in individual serving bowls. It all depends on your budget and preferences.

Step 6

Spread the cream on top and repeat the process several times, until the mold's height allows. Cover the finished dessert with cling film and refrigerate for at least 6 hours to set.

Step 7

Sprinkle with cocoa before serving! Enjoy.

Adviсe

To achieve a pleasant creamy consistency, use cottage cheese with sufficient fat content. Granular cottage cheese is not suitable for tiramisu, as it is quite difficult to grind into a paste.
The cream in the recipe must be chilled and have sufficient fat content (at least 30%). Otherwise, it won't whip.
If for some reason the cream won't whip, a special cream thickener can save the situation.
If you can't find savoiardi cookies, substitute any other shortbread cookie. You can also bake your own savoiardi or sponge cake, after drying it a bit first.
To give the treat a piquant flavor and extra aroma, add a little alcohol to the coffee. Cognac, amaretto, or any other liqueur of your choice will do.
Be sure to let the dessert sit. At least 6 hours is required for the tiramisu to fully soak.

Storage

Tiramisu can be made 1-2 days in advance. Store in the refrigerator, away from strong-smelling foods.

Leftover dessert can also be placed in the refrigerator for no more than 2-3 days after preparation.

Tiramisu can be frozen. To do so, place it in a freezer-safe container and seal tightly with a lid. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months.

Now you know how easy it is to make tiramisu in your own kitchen using readily available ingredients. Treat your family and friends to this delicious dessert! Share your tiramisu recipes in the comments.
