Zuccotto - Tiramisú (click here to get the recipe)

During this class replay video, we’ll cook Zuccotto-Tiramisú together. It's a delicious dessert that combines two classic Italian desserts: Zuccotto and Tiramisú!

It’s a re-interpretation of the traditional Florentine dessert, using the ingredients of one of everyone’s most beloved desserts: tiramisú.

In this class, you'll make a dome-shaped dessert with a base of ladyfingers soaked in coffee and layered with a rich and creamy filling. Instead of the traditional tiramisú cream, you will combine mascarpone cheese with ricotta and orange zest, for a lighter and healthier filling. Once the dessert is set and chilled, serve it dusted with cocoa powder and dollops of whipped cream.

Key Ingredients

– mascarpone cheese
– ricotta cheese
– coffee
– cinnamon
ladyfingers

Love from Tuscany,
Chicca
