My classic Italian tiramisu recipe has lightly sweet mascarpone filling layered with ladyfingers soaked with a spiked espresso mixture and topped with a dusting of cocoa powder. It’s practically perfect and totally delicious!

I love tiramisu because it has all the best things in one package: coffee, rum or brandy, a super creamy but not too sweet custard and just a little chocolate! It’s one of the FIRST recipes I made as a teenage baker and has remained a favorite ever since.

Bruh my whipped cream clustered and separated from the liquid I just wasters food
This recipe has too much rum for my liking. I wish I realized this before making it. However, I made about half dipped in hot chocolate for the non-rum/coffee people.
I made this exactly as instructed and it was the BEST tiramisu my husband has had even better than an authentic Italian restaurant! Excellent!! I love all your recipes! Thank you for being so detailed in your directions.
It was delicious! The only thing I’d change next time is using less rum It was too much alcohol flavor.
One of my all time favorites, can't wait to make it
It’s possible you can use rum flavoring instead of rum for children
The only thing I do differently is to whip the egg yolks after heating them, until they are thick and lemon colored, then I add them to the mascarpone. I find it sets firmer that way. The lady finger recipe you shared is amazing! I have a dairy cow, so I was able to make my own mascarpone and whipped cream 😊
I look at many types of tiramisu and by far your is the absolute right.
Can kids eat this? My kids love lady fingers I want to make something cakeky
i cant use rum because im muslim but what could I substitute it with in the tiramisu
I just want to say this gentlemen has the most soothing voice…he's probably great with kids…great recipe
that' so funny – I decided to make a tiramisu for MY b'day on 7/11 and made the lady fingers to day … lol … watching this so I know what to buy … Birthdaymisu!!!! – Liane Curtis (16 Candles/Girlfriend From Hell)
Please DO NOT call this classical traditional tiramisu because it is not . I am italian and I have many many years of tiramisu, I lived in the city of province where tiramisu was invented . First of all in the original recipe the eggs were not pasteurized, no zabaglione ( by the way you must add Marsala to make zabaglione) just mix the yolks with sugar ( 2 Tbsp per yolk) add the rum and the mascarpone . Add the whipped eggs whites ( NOT the whipping cream !!! ) layer the savoiardi dipped quickly in coffe and rum . Now you know the true tiramisu! I make different versions but I do not dare call them tiramisu ( or just add “modern version or similar but not the real original one “ )
I made this Tiramisu several times and it's always a hit. Kids absolutely love it. One question though, what size dish do you use for assembly? I can't seem to find the right size.
Besides adding sweetness, does the sugar have any other role in this recipe? I'm asking because I'd like to replace it with erythritol.
For those who can’t get lady fingers , use any sponge cake !!
Thanks a lot. The recipe works perfectly, and it was easy to follow while watching the videom
oh man, I'm sorry to say but this was a miss for us…. I made it for my father in laws birthday party and only half of my family would eat it, the others couldn't go beyond one bite. The rum was just WAY TOO STRONG. and everyone in my family drinks, daily, multiple glasses of things. Otherwise I think it could have been a success. So if youre not into the alcohol, I would suggest omitting it out of the cream for sure if not completely.
Great video thank you, you taught me how to make tiramisu. But, Well, you're description to use the word entombed for covering the tiramisu. That was hilarious.
I’m Italian and am a tiramisu snob admittedly. Recipe is ok for Americans but for the liquor, sweet Marsala wine has always been used to sweeten the mascarpone mixture.
Secondly, zabaglione is pronounced “zuh buh glee own”
Lastly, here are substitute suggestions for mascarpone:
Heavy cream
Crème Fraîche
Cottage cheese
Full-fat greek yogurt
English Clotted Cream
Silken tofu and
cream cheese mixed with heavy whipping cream
Hope this helps.

This Tiramisu recipe is truly "Ah-Mazing" like John says….
The Lady Finger recipe of his here is also a keeper.
I have it written down and both of these will be in the rotation for sure.
Double the Lady Finger recipe to make enough for this Tiramisu recipe. I made 2 batches but would try to just double the recipe for Lady Fingers next time.
Thank you John for this ahb-solu-luutely stunning recipe. I attempted tiramisu for the first time ever and it was dee-licious. I myself couldn't believe that I made made it myself.
Waiting on the lady finger recipe 😊
I made this recipe and it turned out to be amazing. I was so impressed with the results thanks for making this video.
I used dark spiced rum and it was divine.
Don’t listen to him, dip the lady fingers til soaked, it will taste much better.
You don’t want a dry lady fingers, u want it soggy . I know I’ve made it both ways . Soggy is YUMMY
I tired this tirmisu so yummm thank you for sharing the recipe
What do you use in place of rum?
Why do Americans use Rum in Tirimisu?? Rum ruins Tirimisu!! That is not real Tirimisu. Gross!
just made this ! it’s currently chilling so i’ve yet to try it all together but the cream was delicious. just wanted to add that if your mascarpone splits, try the double boiler method where you basically just heat it up while continuously whipping it until smooth ! mine curdled and this brought it back to life, i almost cried.
🤎🤍🤎
Just made this and it was absolutely phenomenal. Everyone loved it and even my wife, who doesn't eat sweets too much, said that it tasted just like the ones they serve in restaurants. Melt in your mouth amazingness. Thanks John for delivering as always.
Also, mad respect to those who make the ladyfingers and mascarpone by scratch. That's next level.
I am so grateful for this video you have done. I make it so often just the way you have instructed, and it has become a family and friends' .
It's some time ok😅
Thank you, John! I just made this for a neighbor (with your ladyfinger recipe as well). It smells and looks just beautiful. Setting in the fridge now. Man, I’ve used so many of your recipes, but I never think to put a huge THANK YOU in the comments. You are a terrific teacher, and I’ve never had a “fail” with any of your recipes. I just can’t thank you enough.
I've only had this in italian restaurants back in the day and it was poofy and airy, not creamy. Not sure if they used lady fingers or thinly sliced sheet cake soaked in marsala. It was in layers. I never attempted to make it because it seemed complicated. This is an easy version I'd try, but it seems like a custard or pudding.
Hi John….I'm from South Africa. I was disappointed because I followed the recipe. I poured the warm egg mixture as you did straight off the heat into the mascarpon cheese and the marscarpon cheese curdled. I think the egg mixture needs to let be cooled down alot first before adding to the mascarpone cheese. In the video I don't think you said to let it cool down. But I learned something and I love, love all you baking. Thank you.
It doesn't matter if we don't have dark rum?
What should we do
When I added the rum to the mascarpone the mixture tasted bitter which concerned me at first, but but when it all came together with the whipping cream and sweetened egg yolks the flavour was delicious and the texture was silky and fluffy — I am waiting for the tiramisu to set before tasting the finished product!
Tiramisu is also my ultimate favorite dessert!
I made my first ever Tiramisu using this recipe video and it came out so delicious. I made this recently for my husband's birthday and he loves Tiramisu. We all loved it. Thank you, John.
Where I come from, lady finger means okra. 😂
I wonder if I put it in a cheesecake mould and let it set overnight, after remove it from the mould, will it still holding its shape?
This look excellent, I see you have Hungarian China Herend Queen Victoria. My mother in law is Hungarian and has that china.
