Tips

  • Make sure to whisk the egg yolk and sugar until thick and creamy.
  • Heat the egg yolk mixture on a double boiler to at least 70"C to pasteurize it, stirring constantly to avoid lumps.
  • When soaking lady fingers, do not leave them longer than 1 second to prevent sogginess.
  • For best results, let the tiramisu cups rest in the fridge overnight.
