Gordon Ramsay Tiramisu Recipe
Introduction
Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert known for its creamy texture and rich coffee flavor. This version inspired by Gordon Ramsay is simple yet indulgent, combining mascarpone, eggs, and ladyfingers soaked in coffee for a perfect treat.
Ingredients
- 250g mascarpone cheese
- 3 large eggs
- 100g sugar
- 1 cup strong brewed coffee, cooled
- 200g ladyfingers
Instructions
- Step 1: In a bowl, separate the egg yolks and whites. Whisk the egg yolks with sugar until pale and creamy. Gently fold in the mascarpone until smooth.
- Step 2: In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form, then carefully fold them into the mascarpone mixture to keep it light and airy.
- Step 3: Quickly dip each ladyfinger into the cooled coffee, making sure not to soak them too long to avoid sogginess.
- Step 4: Arrange a layer of coffee-soaked ladyfingers in a serving dish. Spread half of the mascarpone cream over the layer.
- Step 5: Repeat with another layer of dipped ladyfingers and finish with the remaining mascarpone cream.
- Step 6: Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the dessert to set.
Tips & Variations

FAQs
Can I use pre-made mascarpone cream instead of mixing it myself?
Yes, using store-bought mascarpone cream can save time, but homemade mascarpone mixed with fresh eggs and sugar often provides a fresher, lighter taste.
Is it safe to use raw eggs in tiramisu?
Using fresh, high-quality eggs and storing the dessert properly in the fridge reduces the risk. Alternatively, you can use pasteurized eggs or cook the egg yolk mixture gently to ensure safety.
