The northern Italian town of Gemona has set the record for the largest Tiramisù in culinary history. Weighing in at 3,015 kilos, the giant coffee-flavoured dessert beats the previous Guinness World Record set in March by over 1,000 kilos. Around 200 people, including 30 pastry chefs from across the local area helped to make the creamy dessert on Saturday, which consisted of 250 trays of Tiramisù.

I am not a big fan of Tiramisu in the States, it can be a boozy, mushy mess and nothing I would ever want to order. So when I was given a heaping plate for dessert at a friends house when we first arrived, I was a little nervous about how I was going to finish it all to be polite- well it didn't seem to be a problem at all because it was lick-your-plate amazing! So what's the difference in the dish served at restaurants State-side vs. that of Italy? First off the eggs - this recipe calls for fresh egg yolks not whipped cream or imitation eggs making it much richer and secondly it's all in the lady-fingers! When Jason first asked for a lady-finger recipe to make this dish, our friend Daniella balked - "No, why would you do that? You buy Pavesini." And she was right! They perfectly hold up after being soaked in coffee & layered with cream. Tiramisu literally translates to "pick me up" and it sure does with all the coffee, eggs & sugar. Tiramisu - Serves 8 (use a 9x6 dish) 4 egg whites 4 egg yolks 1 1/4 cups or 125 g confectioner's sugar 1 3/4 cups or 325 g mascarpone cheese box of Pavesini ladyfingers 3/4 cup or 200 ml freshly brewed extra strong coffee or espresso, cooled/room temperature 3 oz. or 100 g dark chocolate, grated unsweetened cocoa powder for dusting Click for directionsVia Mariano Pallottini

There’s some debate over Italian tiramisu history, but happily, none over our yummy original Italian tiramisu dessert recipe (with mascarpone, no alcohol). You only need a few ingredients and 15 minutes to prepare this authentic and easy-to-make Italian tiramisu dessert. Plus, you don’t have to fry or bake anything. Just prepare coffee, mix a few ingredients, and leave the dessert in the fridge for two hours. Ingredients (Serves 2):
