Tiramisu Tiramisu is the most fashionable dessert in major coffee shops, bakeries and western restaurants. With its refreshing and mellow taste and adult flavor of cheese, coffee and wine, it robbed the limelight of cheese cake.
Western desserts are all flowers and plants, especially Italian and French. As soon as the gorgeous desserts like Tiramisu and Sabayong appeared, the dining table became the overpass of the spring dress conference. Tiramisu, as a representative of Italian desserts, is popular all over the world with its gorgeous appearance and charming posture. With the bitterness of Espresso, the moist of eggs and sugar, the mellow of sweet wine, the richness of chocolate, the richness of lady finger, the richness of cheese and whipped cream, and the dryness of cocoa powder, the "sweetness" and all kinds of complex experiences that sweetness can evoke are interpreted to the extreme in less than ten materials.
Tiramisu, from a noble family, is a cake with coffee and wine aroma. It is made of whipped cream, cocoa powder, chocolate and flour. The top layer is a thin layer of cocoa powder, and the bottom layer is a thick cream product. In the middle of the cream is a chocolate cake-like Mu Si. It tastes fragrant, smooth, sweet and greasy in the mouth, and it has a soft texture, and the taste is not just sweet. Because of cocoa powder, it has a little innocuous bitterness, which just matches cappuccino. Most restaurants use glassware to hold them. Pure cream yellow sprinkled with brown cocoa powder, scooped one spoonful, and dark brown chocolate. It is not as colorful as a banana boat, nor as monotonous as cheesecake. The overall color of Tiramisu is harmonious and changeable. Gently scoop up a spoonful and put it in your mouth. Not cold, refreshing taste. The unique sticky feeling of whipped cream wraps your lips, tongue and teeth. When you swallow it slowly, that tenderness and sweetness will overflow every part of your body.
history
The historical origin can be traced back to a dessert called Zuppa del Duca or Zuppa Inglese in the northwest of Italy in the17th century, but the real Tiramisu did not appear in the northwest of Venice, Italy until the 1960s. Locals use mascarpone cheese as the main material, and then use lady finger instead of sponge cake as a traditional dessert, adding coffee, cocoa powder and other elements. The recipe is very simple, but it combines the unique flavors of cheese, coffee and wine, and mercilessly steals the limelight of cheesecake. Sweet and bitter, like angels and demons, are combined in harmony and conflict.
origin
There are many different stories about the origin of Tiramisu. The sweeter story is that during World War II, an Italian soldier was about to go to the battlefield, but there was nothing at home. In order to prepare dry food for him, his wife who loves him makes all the biscuits and bread that can be eaten at home into cakes called tiramisu. Whenever a soldier eats Tiramisu on the battlefield, he will think of his home and his beloved ... Tiramisu, which means "take me away" in Italian, takes away not only food, but also love and happiness. A layer of lady finger soaked in espresso and wine (Ma Sala, rum or brandy) is similar in texture to sponge cake, and a layer of cheese paste mixed with Mascar ponecheese (the most suitable cheese specially used for making Tiramisu), eggs, fresh cream and sugar is stacked one after another, and a thin layer of cocoa powder is sprinkled ... This is Tiramisu.
Other versions are more interesting. First of all, it originated in Siena, Tuscany province in western Italy. /kloc-In the 9th century, Duke Medici visited Siena and fell in love with a local mushy dessert. Residents named this dessert "zuppa del duca" to commemorate it. Later, the Duke of Italy introduced dessert to Florence in the north, which immediately became the favorite of British intellectuals stationed there, and changed its name to "English sweet soup" and brought it back to Britain to catch up with Italy. Siena's desserts also spread to treviso and Venezia, big cities in northeastern Italy. Today, these two cities are famous for their canals, murals and Tiramisu, but there is a mistake in explaining how the "Duke's Sweet Soup" evolved into Tiramisu.
There is also an incredible saying that treviso residents don't believe that Tiramisu's predecessor is "Duke Sweet Soup", but firmly believe that Tiramisu is a traditional dessert in treviso and Venice. The Italian pronunciation of Tiramisu is "stimulant or refreshing agent" (note: English pick-me-up), and the caffeinated espresso mixed with cocoa in the formula brings a faint excitement. It is said that when it was first introduced to Venice, it was especially loved by high-class prostitutes in upper-class circles, and it became a refreshing gift for prostitutes in the brothel upstairs of the restaurant "Le Beccherie". In the past, prostitutes in Venice would take a few bites of tiramisu before receiving guests to improve their "sexual desire".
But no matter what the legend is, for most Tiramisu fans, it doesn't affect their status in their minds at all.
formula
Tracing back to the source, most of the delicious sources of tiramisu come from the delicacy of the ingredients, among which mascarpone cheese, Marsala wine and Ladyfinger are the most important keys to control the quality of tiramisu.
The traditional formula of tiramisu is completely alcohol-free. Some people insist on adding Ma Sala wine produced in Sicily, which is orthodox and can make it emit elegant and mellow fragrance. This tiramisu wine with Marsala is really unique and gradually accepted by people. In addition, there are brandy, Carus or other fruit wines. In addition to wine, in the traditional formula, the important mascarpone cheese is also replaced by cream cheese; No Ladyfinger, but sponge cake instead; In addition to the traditional taste of cream-cheese-coffee-cocoa-(wine), there are also variants that use oranges and matcha instead of coffee-cocoa. Whether tiramisu is still tiramisu after the reorganization of various substitute products is a matter of opinion.
Authentic Tiramisu, the sugar water is very heavy, the cake is very wet, the sugar water is smeared on the cake, and the flavor of cheese and cake is integrated. The soft tiramisu in the cup has a short freezing time, usually one or two hours; The pastry-style tiramisu is "strong" and it takes five or six hours to freeze. Authentic tiramisu is expensive, and the price of its main ingredient, Mascapone cheese, is not low (about 500 grams 100 yuan), and Ladyfinger, as the bottom layer, is also the key. In order to reduce the cost burden, some merchants often "cut corners" in the consumption of mascarpone cheese, or use cream cheese instead, or add fresh cream, which sometimes even leads to insufficient solidification, resulting in its concentration, flavor and texture at the entrance slightly inferior to the authentic tiramisu.
Generally speaking, in order not to affect the richness and sweetness of tiramisu, it is not recommended to enjoy it with wine except tea and coffee. But if it's a dessert, you might as well have some French Suttern or German lady sweet white wine to clear your mouth after dinner and before eating Tiramisu. Drinking a little sweeter wine after a meal, such as Spanish sherry or Portuguese port wine, can play an excellent role in doubling the taste.
Because tiramisu contains extremely high fat and calories, the consumption depends on personal needs and physique, so it is difficult to determine the number of people who eat formula milk.
