    How to layer tiramisu
    How to layer tiramisu section is not working. It only lasts for 30 seconds. Hope you could submit the complete video, I can´t wait to do it!

Buon Appetito, inspired by the owners of Trattoria I Trulli in Encinitas and Arrivederci in Hillcrest, combines a dash of nouvelle and a splash of sophistication to bring forth a cozy San Francisco-style eatery in the heart of Little Italy, San Diego.

This little trattoria stands out by encompassing food and wine and showcasing art. This is a reminder of what the true history of Italy is all about: Food – wine – art. There is nowhere in Italy that you can go and not be affected by the art, sculptures and fountains. That is the utter beauty and essence of Italy.

How to Make Espresso for Tiramisu

Ingredients

5 eggs
1/2 cup of sugar
A touch of vanilla extract
1/4 cup of Masala wine
3 cups of Espresso coffee
One 16 ounce container of Mascarpone cream
Cocoa powder

Instructions

1. To make the cream for the tiramisu, divide the egg yolk from the egg whites in two different bowls. Beat the egg yolks first and put the egg whites into the refrigerator.

 

2. Add sugar, heavy whipping cream, vanilla extract and flour to the beaten egg yolks and mix it all together. Add the mustard and Masala wine to the egg mixture.


3. Take the egg whites out of the fridge and beat them to a fluffy consistency. Add them to the egg yolk mixture and blend them together. Put this mixture in the refrigerator.


4. To make the espresso, use an espresso machine to get espresso coffee and then add Masala wine to the coffee.


5. Put the layer of Mascarpone cream onto the plate first. Soak the ladyfingers in the coffee and then layer them in a round shape. After the first layer, spread cream over the ladyfingers and then continue to layer cream and ladyfingers and top the dish with cocoa powder.

Transcripts

Salvatore Caniglia: Okay I am Salvatore from the Buon Appetito Restaurant and now we are going to make the espresso coffee for the tiramisu, which I would be using our machine here which is an Italian espresso machine.

We are going to use about three cups of espresso and you could buy it at buy about ten double shots of espresso too, this will work or we can use regular coffee, just make sure you make it extra strong so you have the flavor of the coffee and so let's start the doing this.

Here we are going to fill up the droop with freshly ground espresso coffee which we have in the machine here, and fill her up like this, press it down a little bit. Only machining, head on. Here comes the coffee. So here is the espresso coffee which is nice and ready, nice and creamy. We have to stick to this container, like this. This is done as well, and so now in here we can add about quarter cup of Masala into the coffee; again, like I said before, some people use different kinds of liquor, I like to use Masala and the next step will be dipping the ladyfingers into the coffee, layer it with the Mascarpone cream that we just made before and serve it, and make a nice presentation.
