Are raw eggs safe to use?
If you're concerned, use pasteurized eggs. Alternatively, swap the egg whites for 200 ml of cold heavy cream whipped to soft peaks — the result is richer but equally good.

FAQ · Things people ask
About this recipe.
What type of coffee?
Strong espresso, cooled to room temperature. If you don't have an espresso machine, use very strong moka pot coffee. Instant espresso powder dissolved in hot water also works in a pinch.
How long ahead can I make this?
Tiramisu is best made the day before — 12–24 hours in the fridge allows the cream to set and the flavors to meld. It keeps for up to 3 days, but the ladyfingers soften further over time.

Cacio e Pepe
Three ingredients. The simplest pasta in the Roman canon is also the most technically unforgiving — the sauce either comes together or it clumps.
