The first known recipe of the original Tiramisu’ from the restaurant “Le Beccherie” was published in the magazine “Vin Veneto” printed in the Spring of 1981.
Giuseppe Maffioli in an article dedicated to coffee-based desserts defined this recipe as “Il Tiramesu’ Legittimo delle Beccherie” (The Legitimate Tiramisu’ of Le Beccherie.)
The quantities he indicated are for a large restaurant-sized dessert:
12 egg yolks
1 lb 2 oz (½ kg) sugar
2 lb 4 oz (1 kg) mascarpone cheese
60 ladyfinger (savoiardi) cookies
Espresso coffee, as necessary
Cocoa powder, as necessary
I have resized this recipe to fit in a
8 inch x 8 inch x 2 inch pan.
