wherever i go, if there's tiramisù i will taste it.. sometimes that's a huge mistake though, if it's not well done this dessert can be just awful eheheh i still recall with pleasure a tiramisù i ate in apulia (south of italy) some years ago.. it was just 3 savoiardi, slightly soaked in a citrus flavored syrup and topped with a liquid mascarpone sauce.. totally different from usual tiramisù, yet it was amazing.
though the recipe is always more or less the same, every cook has one's own recipe.. this is mine, i tried and tried till i've found the best mix to make a thick and delicious tiramisù ^^
i use orange blossom flavor for its fine subtle perfume that suits well this cream, but a good vanilla flavor works good too :) i'm a big fan of orange blossom flavor, so delicate and particular, just beautiful with chocolate or ricotta.. it's surely one of my fav scents to smell and i've always liked the italian words for orange blossoms (fiori d'arancio or zagare)

tiramisù
350g savoiardi (kind of biscuits)85g sugar
200g ricotta (kind of cottage cheese)
200g mascarpone
dark chocolate drops
dark cocoa powder
5egg whites
4egg yolks
orange blossom flavor
dark coffee (6 to 9 espresso cups)
Beat egg whites till thicken. Whip together sugar and egg yolks, then blend mascarpone and ricotta. Add egg whites and mix carefully.
Pour some coffee in a dish and soak savoiardi in it. In a rectangular tin make a thin layer of cream, spread chocolate drops on it and place a layer of savoiardi.
Make layers till ingredients finish topping with a layer of cream (i use to make 3layers of savoiardi). Pour sifted cocoa powder and then some grated chocolate on the top layer. Serve tiramisù well cooled.
