This will help you achieve a perfectly smooth and creamy texture for the ricotta mixture. Make sure to blend until all lumps are gone.
Accurate measurements are key in baking. Having a good set of measuring cups and spoons will ensure your recipe turns out perfect every time.
A large bowl gives you enough room to mix all ingredients without spilling. Opt for a non-slip base for added safety.
Use plastic wrap to cover the dish while it chills in the refrigerator. This will prevent it from absorbing any unwanted odors.
Depending on your presentation preference, use a large dish for a communal serving or individual cups for personal desserts.

Faq
- What type of ricotta should I use?
Opt for a full-fat ricotta for the creamiest texture. You can also use fresh ricotta from a deli for a richer flavor.
- Can I replace the gelatin with something else?
Yes, you can use agar-agar as a plant-based alternative. Follow the package instructions for the correct conversion.
- How long should I chill the tiramisu?
For best results, chill the tiramisu overnight. This allows the flavors to meld and the texture to set properly.
- What can I use instead of Alchermes liqueur?
If you can't find Alchermes, you can use a mixture of grenadine and a touch of alcohol like rum or an orange liqueur.
- Can I make this dessert ahead of time?
Absolutely! This tiramisu actually improves with time. Make it a day in advance to truly let the flavors develop.
- What's the best way to store leftovers?
Cover the dish tightly with plastic wrap or store individual servings in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Enjoy within 2-3 days.
