Sadly, I don’t have any tiramisu recommendations in Rome – it’s not a favorite of mine, so I’ve never even eaten it in the city! I would suggest, in general, that if you try places where the menu is only in Italian – in other words, less touristy places – you’ll have better luck with the food. For tiramisu specifically, you might try posing this question on the Chowhound message boards – those people are serious foodies!

Any suggestions on where to find good tiramisu in Rome? Have tried 4 different places already and haven’t found it nice at all. Thanks.

I’ve been making this for years, as my family has for generations. One thing I would tweak for this recipe is to use not only the egg yolks but also the egg whites and add 1/2 cup of whipping cream. Mix the marscapone mixuture then beat in seperate bowls the egg whites and whipping cream till stiff. Fold in the egg white mixture and whipping cream to the cheese mixuture. This will add so much fluffiness to the tiramisu. Skip the alcohol and add sugar to the espreso

Hi
I was born in Friuli in the sixties and I was told that Tiramisu is originally from there. I remember having it as a little child, which well predates the 80′s. Every family has its own recipe which is closely guarded and passed from generation to generation.

Tiramisu is one my favorite desserts in the world! I have never tried with Amaretto.
I usually use Baileys liquor instead of Amaretto and I mix it with the coffee instead of with the cream.
My little secret is also to put some pieces of dark chocolate into the cream. Nobody expect the chocolate! Also the bitter chocolate combines very well with the cream.

Thanks for sharing! I will have to try it with Amaretto. I usually use Frangelico instead. Also, I beat the whites first until they are fluffy like little mountains, then do the “In a mixer, add egg yolks & sugar.” you list. It makes the filling fluffier.

Love this! Can’t wait to give it a try. Tiramisu is one of the many things I miss most about Italy.
