Thanks for posting this article! I learned many things from it. Tiramisu is one of my favorite but i am afraid about my sugar level. Thanks for posting this!

Ciao Bella, scusa per il ritardo! I agree that using a ready mix saves a lot of time and it’s easier, but it doesn’t taste the same. I’ve never used “savoiardi” in this particular recipe, but you can try them. Another possibility is using “Pan di Spagna”, a plain sponge cake.
Auguri.

Hi Serena! Here in the States “la besciamella dolce” of which you speak is what we know as a cooked vanilla pudding. For those less “bravi” in cucina, that is to say that they would feel more sure with a list of amounts for the ingredients, it would be possible to find a recipe on the Internet for this preparation or even to buy a mix (preparato) for a cooked pudding. Mixes for instant pudding are available, where you just have to add milk and stir, but they lack the flavor and consistency (well, in my opinion) of a good cooked vanilla pudding. It takes a little more work and attention at the stove so the pudding does not lump or scorch, but it is worth the extra work. We also have “marie” cookies here, usually found in the section of the grocery store that sells Hispanic foods. Would it also be possible to use “savoiardi”? I ask because perhaps it would change the texture or character of this particular version of Tiramisu.
Grazie per questa ricetta!
