Read about the Maci-Melena family in this Dec. 2023 Travel Buzz story. Annalisa is a native of Chiete, Italy, and now lives in West University. Here, she shares her favorite tiramisú recpe. 

Ingredients: 

6 eggs 
120 grams (1/2 cup) sugar
500 grams (2 cups) mascarpone cream
750 ml coffee (25.36 fluid ounces); Annalisa uses a moka pot to brew her coffee
400 grams savoiardi biscuits (ladyfingers) (about 14 ounces); these can be found at international food markets like Phoenicia
Cocoa powder (enough to cover the top of the last layer, approx. 1/4 cup)

Recipe directions: 

Mix the egg whites only until aerated.

In a different bowl, mix the sugar and egg yolks till it’s very creamy. Add mascarpone cream. Combine the mix with the egg whites, beating and aerating it using a spatula. 

Brew about 750 ml of coffee. Prepare the ladyfingers by soaking them in coffee. 

In a flat container (glass or ceramic 12x8 inch), arrange a layer of ladyfingers previously soaked with coffee. Spread on top a layer of the cream (the sugar and egg yolk mix). Put another layer of ladyfingers soaked with coffee. On top, put a layer of the cream.

Spread the top with dark cocoa powder. 

Refrigerate for 4-6 hours. Serve.
