Tiramisu, the classic Italian dessert, is a favourite among many, and with Jacopa’s family recipe book, you too can make a delicious homemade version. Jacopa’s recipe is a simple yet decadent take on the classic, and is sure to impress guests.

Ingredients:
– 6 eggs, separated
– 1 cup white sugar
– 1 lb mascarpone cheese
– 1.5 cups strong coffee, cooled
– 1/4 cup coffee liqueur (optional)
– 1 package ladyfingers
– cocoa powder for dusting

Method:
1. Whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until they turn pale yellow and form a ribbon.
2. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
3. Slowly mix the mascarpone cheese into the egg yolk mixture, ensuring that there are no lumps.
4. Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture until fully combined.
5. Combine the cooled coffee with the coffee liqueur (if using) in a shallow dish.
6. Dip the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture for a few seconds, making sure they are fully coated but not soaked.
7. Arrange a layer of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish.
8. Pour half of the mascarpone mixture on top of the ladyfingers, spreading it out evenly with a spatula.
9. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
10. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or overnight.
11. Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.

Jacopa’s recipe is wonderful for two reasons. Firstly, the combination of the creamy mascarpone cheese and the strong coffee is always a crowd-pleaser. Secondly, the recipe does not require any complicated or difficult-to-find ingredients, instead relying on simple yet effective flavour combinations.

One thing to note is that the recipe does call for the use of raw eggs. While this may concern some people due to the risk of Salmonella, it is important to use fresh eggs from a reputable source. If you would rather not use raw eggs, you can substitute them with pasteurized eggs or use a different recipe altogether.

Tiramisu is often served at the end of a heavy meal, as its light yet rich flavour is the perfect palate cleanser. Jacopa’s recipe is no exception, and is ideal for serving at dinner parties or family gatherings. It can be made ahead of time, which is always a plus for those who are short on time.

Another great thing about this recipe is that it is easily adaptable. If you prefer a more intensely coffee-flavoured dessert, you can use more coffee and less liqueur. Alternatively, you can swap out the coffee for another type of liquid – such as chocolate liqueur or amaretto – to give the dish a different flavour profile.

In conclusion, Jacopa’s family recipe book offers up a fantastic take on the classic Italian dessert, tiramisu. While there are many variations of the dish available, Jacopa’s recipe is simple, easy-to-follow and, above all, delicious. With its light yet creamy texture and flavourful coffee notes, it is sure to be a hit with anyone who tries it.
