Can you use Ricotta instead of Mascarpone Cheese in Tarimisu?

If you're going to substitute I would use half cream cheese and half ricotta, however I think its worth spending the money on the mascarpone because you can taste the difference in the finished product. Lady fingers are similar to sponge cake. Its a sponge cake type batter that's piped into a a finger.It has a slightly crisp/crunchy outside with a soft spongy inside.

You can use hard cookie for a different variation, but like you said, it will take the coffee/liquor mixture a while to soak, and would get really soggy in the end. As for the eggs, I've never heard of using raw eggs in tiramisu, here's a traditional recipe that cooks the eggs Tiramisu Ingredients 6 egg yolks 1 1/4 cups white sugar 1 1/4 cups mascarpone cheese 1 3/4 cups heavy whipping cream 2 (12 ounce) packages ladyfingers 1/3 cup coffee flavored liqueur 1 teaspoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting 1 (1 ounce) square semisweet chocolate Directions 1. Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water.

Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored 2. Add mascarpone to whipped yolks.

Beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside 3.

Split the lady fingers in half, and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Brush with coffee liqueur. Spoon half of the cream filling over the lady fingers.

Repeat ladyfingers, coffee liqueur and filling layers. Garnish with cocoa and chocolate curls. Refrigerate several hours or overnight 4.

To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar.

I would never use ricotta cheese. If I had to I would use cream cheese but I must admit I would scrimp and save to buy the Mascarpone cheese. This is a link to the kind of lady fingers I use.

I've never made a bad batch. vigo-alessi.elsstore.com/view/pro… Good luck! EDIT: very seldom do people get sick from eating raw eggs.

Perhaps 1 out of a million. I wouldn't feed raw eggs to a baby, elderly or someone that has immune issues. The eggs are a tasty, creamy, natural thickener.

Mascarpone is very good with Tarimisu but Ricotta is also a good cheese that could replace Mascarpone. Ricotta cheese is so creamy and has a little sweet taste to it. My friend actually loves using Ricotta cheese with her Tarimisu.So yea, its just fine.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
