Emeril's Tiramisu

"I have been searching for a wonderful tiramisu recipe for so long and this is the taste, texture, and richness I was looking for. I found it online at a Emeril site. I did look at all the tiramisu recipes on zaar but they were basicly all recipes I've tried before so I wanted something original, and different, but "authentic" cook time is refrigeration time."

  1. Recipe is absolutely horrible. Anyone that says otherwise is either a bot or someone that has never tried this or does not know how to bake. - missing ingredients - misleading steps - bad ingredient amounts Don’t bother with this, go look somewhere else.
     
  2. I actually have used this recipe for many years ago and it was by Maida Heatter. The instructions neglect to tell you to fold in the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture. I like doing this one with pound cake, but the traditional way to make this is by using ladyfingers. If you use the ladyfingers, make sure that you use Savoiardi ladyfingers - they are dryer than the cake-like version and won't desintegrate when you soak them in the coffee mixture.<br/><br/>This recipe is by far the best tiramisu that you can make. It's a little bit of time to do, but it's all beating, really, and very, VERY easy to make. Enjoy!
     
  3. This is the exact recipe I've been using for about 2 years now. It is certainly a bit of work, but well worth it as my wife will testify when I make this. It doesn't last long. The Grand Marnier comes through just enough to taste it along with the rum. Treat yourself, this is great!

I am a mother of my 5 year old beautiful, sweet boy! And a 2 year old gorgeous little girl! I am very fortunate to be able to stay home with them. Yeah I thrive for adult conversation but that's what 'zaar is for right?! I would love to go back to school someday for either interior design, or business and culinary school to start up my own bakery or catering business, or even photography. That would be my dream come true! I married my best friend on June 22, 2003. DH works allllll day(60 hours a week) 5 days a week so I dont get to see him as much as I wish but that's why I cook dinner and treasure dinner time. It's our time to unwind together. We love watching movies together. He's a Star Wars and Lord of the Rings nerd. I love them too but don't admit it often or I will have to watch them every day! I'm a feminest, which it turns out I have been since birth, but my best friend going to school for woman's studies and sharing her knowledge, amplifies it.I would love to see a world where my children aren't condemmed to the gender rolls we give them. My Mom is an amazing cook and I picked up cooking from her, but I really am self taught. I love to experiment and try new things. I'm like a Jewish or Italian mom, forcing people to try everything I make and I don't take "no" for an answer! The whole saying that you are either a cooker or a baker is so not true, I am both! My best friend is a cooker and baker too she makes the best cake you could ever taste! (she won't post the recipe...trust me!!)but she makes some killer meals too! I just love getting a ton of ingredients out, make a appetizer, a meal with three or four parts to it,and then bake a kick a$$ dessert to follow, clean up and have all your family and friends grab a big dish and stuff yourselves, the feeling you get when you finally sit down is, to me, comparible to sex! http://www.recipezaar.com/members/home/102299/100_0209.jpg
