Tiramisu

Aug 16, 2025 | Blog, Kosher Recipes

Tiramisu appears to have been invented in the late 1960s or early 1970s, but where and when exactly is unclear. Some believe the recipe was derived from sbatudin, a simpler dessert made of egg yolks and sugar.

  • 500 gr Mascarpone
  • 500 gr Whipped Cream (optional)

  • Cream the egg yolk and 1/3 part from the sugar, till gets a white colour.
  •  Mix the mascarpone with the Amaretto and ½ of the egg yolk mixture.

  • in the mixture.

Another successful experience

Our experience was unique in that we were able to tour a lot of territory and a variety of places with minimal inconvenience. The fact that our boat was always with us and there were no long bus rides or waits made this mode of travel extremely enjoyable.
