Suggestions for yummy Italian desserts.
Italian food definitely has its fans and one of the many delicious types of Italian foods are the desserts. Italian deserts usually come in a wide variety of options from cakes to cookies to flavorful desserts that are made for adults with wine and liquors. If you are looking to create an Italian masterpiece for dessert, here are two awesome recipes.
Tiramisu
Ingredients to Use:
- 1 pound of mascarpone cheese
- About 40 lady fingers
- 3 cups Italian coffee
- 6 eggs
- ¾ cup of Marsala wine
- 12 tablespoon of sugar
- 4 tablespoon of coca (power form)
Preparation:
Use an electric mixer to combine both the egg yolks and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy. Save egg whites for use later in the recipe. Add mascarpone cheese and incorporate it in to this concoction as well. Once these three ingredients are well combined, now add the 6 egg whites. Add the 4 tablespoons of cocoa and mix it in as well. Once it is all mixed place half of the ingredients into a cake dish.
Dip lady fingers into Italian coffee and then place them on top of the mascarpone cream. Layer with more contents to create layers. You will want to make about two layers. Once you placed two layers of lady fingers in the cake dish spread with remaining cream. Sprinkle some cocoa powder on the top of the cream. Set the cake dish into the refrigerator for about 24 hours. Enjoy!
If this dessert is prepared for children, sub the Marsala wine with just the coffee.
