[Music] Did ancient tiramisu recipes include zabalyoni? Imagine a dessert that has traveled through time, changing and evolving along the way. Today, we are going to uncover whether the earliest versions of tiramisu included zabalyone. Many people think of Zabalion as a classic Italian custard made by whisking egg yolks, sugar, and sweet wine-like marsala over gentle heat until it becomes light and frothy. It’s rich, smooth, and often served as a dessert on its own or with fruit. But was it part of the original tiramisu recipe? The answer is no. Ancient or original tiramisu recipes did not include zabalone. Instead, the traditional version that appeared in the 1960s and 1970s in the Vento region, especially from the famous restaurant Lebeck and Traviso, used a different approach. The cream was made by whipping raw egg yolks with sugar, then mixing this with Moscar pony cheese. This mixture was layered with coffee soaked lady fingers and topped with cocoa powder. Zabalonei being a cooked custard was not part of this early recipe. While both desserts share ingredients like egg yolks and sugar, their preparation methods differ. Zabalonei involves gently heating and whisking over a double boiler, creating a warm frothy custard. The traditional tiramisu, on the other hand, uses raw or lightly cooked eggs mixed with moscar pony, which gives it a different texture and flavor. Some modern recipes or variations do include zabalyone or a zabalone like custard to make the dessert richer or more luxurious. These are adaptations, not the original way tiramisu was made. It is interesting to note that the use of alcohol such as marsala wine or coffee lurs was common in the original recipes, but these were added to the soaking liquid or the cream, not as part of a zabalone. When you visit Italy, especially in Vento, tasting tiramisu at traditional spots like labbeckeri will give you the authentic experience. You will find a dessert that is simple yet flavorful, relying on moscar pony, eggs, coffee, and cocoa without the addition of zabalone. This reflects the dessert’s history as a quick pickme up with energizing coffee and protein richch eggs. So to answer the question directly, ancient tiramisu recipes did not include zabalyone. The creamy layer was made from raw egg yolks whipped with sugar and combined with moscar pony. Zabalion came later as a variation, but it was not part of the original or traditional recipe. [Music]
