Critical Success Points

  • Whisk egg yolks and sugar immediately to prevent 'burning' the yolks.
  • Cook zabaglione gently over a water bath, whisking constantly to avoid scrambling.
  • Cool zabaglione before folding into cream/mascarpone.
  • Do not overwhip the cream/mascarpone mixture.
  • Dip ladyfingers quickly—do not oversoak.
  • Chill tiramisu for at least 12 hours before serving.

Safety Warnings

  • This recipe contains raw or lightly cooked eggs. Use pasteurized eggs if concerned about food safety.
  • Alcohol is present in small amounts; not suitable for children or those avoiding alcohol.
  • Be careful with hot water bath and steam when making zabaglione.
  • Ensure all utensils are clean to prevent cross-contamination.
