  1. Hi Claire, I added the cream into the egg mixture instead of the other way round like you did. The final mixture went clumpy/chunky quite quickly…i don’t think I over whipped the cream mixture – would there be anything else that would cause this? Next time I’ll definitely whip less

  2. I was really confused when you said that you don’t like tiramisu because you’ve never had a good one. I, as an English person, find even the pre-made stuff to be pretty good, so out of curiosity I went on the Wal Mart website to see what your tiramisu offerings are…… and…. My god…. What is that

  3. I actually make a similar airy type of tiramisu, but instead of the zabaglione I make an Italian meringue. I use 2:1 caramelized sugar and cane syrup (or even honey) for the meringue. The type of syrup used for the meringue can have a real impact on the final outcome, so it's a fun opportunity to experiment!
    Time try Claire's version!

  4. I love how people like to complain that something isn’t “authentic” because you used store bought ingredients… like no it’s actually more authentic because very few Italians themselves bother with home made ladyfingers. Just like Panettone… NO ONE BOTHERS TO MAKE THEM AT HOME BECAUSE THEYRE SO FR KING DIFFICULT

  5. Such an incredible tutorial! 🍰✨ Claire’s step-by-step approach makes this classic tiramisu recipe feel so approachable. The creamy layers and perfect balance of flavors are mouthwatering—thank you for sharing this dessert masterpiece!
