Tiramisu, a dessert originating from Italy in the 1950s or 60s, emphasizes simplicity and ingredient quality. The traditional recipe consists of sweetened mascarpone cream and coffee-soaked ladyfingers, with no liqueurs or additional flavors. The texture of the dessert is vital, requiring perfectly whipped mascarpone cream, which is best achieved with room temperature eggs. These eggs provide increased volume and better binding, resulting in a smooth, luxurious cream without grainy sugar or lumps, making the tiramisu truly special.
Using room temperature eggs is important in baking because of the increased volume, as well as better binding potential with other ingredients.
Texture is essential to a perfect tiramisu, and that extra volume you get from whipping room temperature eggs is what will make your mascarpone extra creamy and light instead of dense.
Better binding means no grainy sugar or unincorporated cheese. That's the smooth, lightly sweet cream that makes tiramisu feel so luxurious.
Cold temperatures cause egg proteins to tighten up, making them more rigid and stable.
