Amaretti instead of ladyfingers, matcha tea instead of coffee and chocolate cups: some tips to make an already extraordinary dessert special
Would you like to give a little sprint to the usually tiramisu, but without upsetting it too much? Here are some ideas.
But first we want to clarify that the tiramisu is so good that it would not need any innovation, but in the kitchen it's nice try, experiment and change!
Tiramisù: Pavesini and Savoiardi, but not only
Are you more Pavesini team or Savoiardi team? Undecided on how to line up you could meanwhile opt for one third option. Have you ever tried the tiramisu with the Amaretti biscuits? Excellent in combination with white chocolate and berries. And if you prefer a softer base, a simple one sponge cake or even pandoro and panettone advanced they are a great alternative to cookies.
How to replace mascarpone in tiramisu
For a more delicate tiramisu you can replace the mascarpone with the ricotta cheese. Choose a fresh and light ricotta and remember to sift it well before adding it to the eggs. You can also mix the ricotta with the robiola and some whipped Cream avoiding the eggs because the cream will be very compact and thick anyway.
For a super light variant, instead, use the yogurt, but the greek one without fats, and mix it with little whipped cream. The ideal combination in this case is the fresh fruit.
Tiramisu in the glass
If you want to serve your tiramisu in single portions, use some glass jars, like those of jam, and alternate layers of cookies and cream with great care. Between one layer and another, tap the bottom of the jar to eliminate air bubbles. Always use in this case crumbled biscuits or sponge cake cubes or another breakfast cake for a more elegant presentation. True gourmands, however, can try their hand at preparing small ones chocolate bowls, to be filled with biscuits and mascarpone cream.
Coffee alternatives in tiramisu
If there are children at the table you can replace the coffee with l'barley or simply with a little bit of milk.
If the tiramisu has some fruit among the ingredients you can wet the biscuits with del juice.
But if you really want something different than usual, try the matcha tea that will not only give a very special green color to your dessert, but will make the taste very delicate and aromatic.
If instead you prefer to give color and also an alcoholic note, use thealchermes, but diluted with a little milk or water. For lovers of classic coffee, finally, a variant could be the addition of some rum or Amaretto, excellent in combination with cocoa and dark chocolate.
