Tiramisù Romagna style.

This is the most precious recipe on blog along with piadina flatbread.

Mascarpone ( the name of the dessert is the same of the cheese it’s made from, mascarpone cheese) is the most festive sweet treat, no matter if it’s Christmas or mid-August holiday, no one from Romagna, in his full digestive capacity, would choose a sherbet if he can choose a mascarpone.

It’s a very quick dessert, it’s also really easy, the homemade version have raw yolks and whites, we belong to a generation which consider Salmonella part of life cycle but raw eggs are a fertile ground for bacteria so even at home it’s always better to pasteurise yolks with a sugar syrup and to use whipped cream instead of egg whites.

Cooking yolks it’s not difficult, you just may need a kitchen thermometer, you can easily find a cheap one at Ikea for instance.

Here you can find how to pasteurise reds, I write in this post the original recipe from Romagna.
