Hey there, friend! Today is a special day because it’s Grandma Antoinetta’s 90th birthday! She is from Italy, and I want to make her a famous Italian dessert called tiramisu. Have you heard of it? It’s a yummy cake with coffee flavor and creamy mascarpone cheese. You eat it cold, and it’s super easy to make. The tricky part is finding 90 candles! Will you help me get ready?
Now that we have everything, let’s start cooking! First, put on your apron so you don’t get messy. We’ll mix the brown sugar, egg yolks, and mascarpone cheese with the beater.
Next, we need to clean the beater really well. Then, in another bowl, whip the egg whites until they are fluffy like clouds.
To check if the egg whites are ready, carefully flip the bowl over. If the mixture stays in the bowl, you did it right! If it falls out, try again. Now, gently mix the fluffy egg whites into the first mixture using the spatula.
Here’s the fun part: dipping the cookies in the cold coffee!
Now, let’s put the tiramisu together. In a glass bowl, layer the coffee-dipped ladyfingers and then add the creamy mix on top. Keep layering until you have four layers. Put it in the fridge for two hours to get nice and cold. While we wait, let’s clean up the kitchen. See you in two hours!
Oops, I think I took a nap! Where were we? Oh yes, let’s take the cake out of the fridge. Wow, it looks amazing! Don’t forget to sprinkle some cocoa powder on top before serving. I can’t wait to try it! We’re going to celebrate Grandma’s birthday with the whole family. Thanks for helping me! Now, I’ll finish putting on the 90 candles. See you later!

Explore the Ingredients: Let’s learn more about the ingredients we used in our tiramisu. Ask an adult to help you find out where mascarpone cheese comes from and how it’s made. Can you think of other desserts that use mascarpone cheese? Draw a picture of one of these desserts and share it with your class.
Hands-On Coffee Experiment: We used coffee to dip our ladyfinger cookies. But what happens if we use something else? Try dipping a cookie in milk, juice, or even water. What do you notice about the taste and texture? Write down your observations and share them with your friends. Which liquid do you think makes the best substitute for coffee in tiramisu?
Layering Fun: Tiramisu is all about layers. Create your own layered dessert using ingredients you have at home, like yogurt, fruits, and granola. How many layers can you make? Take a picture of your creation and explain the order of your layers. Why did you choose that order?

Hey friend! Today is Grandma Antoinetta’s 90th birthday! Oh my goodness, she is from Italy, and I want to make her the famous Italian dessert, tiramisu. Have you heard of it? It is a coffee-flavored cake mixed with mascarpone cheese. You eat it cold, and it’s really easy to make. The hard part is going to be finding 90 candles. Will you help me get ready?
The ingredients we need are:
– 300 grams of ladyfinger cookies
– 500 grams of mascarpone cheese
– 4 eggs (whites and yolks separated)
– 100 grams of brown sugar
– 2 cups of cold decaf coffee
– Cocoa powder
[Music]
And now the utensils we need:
– Two bowls
– One beater
– A spatula
– A glass bowl
Now we have everything, so let’s get to work! First, let’s put on our aprons; we don’t want to make a mess. Let’s mix everything with the beater: the brown sugar, the egg yolks, and the mascarpone cheese.
[Music]
Now let’s clean the mixer well; if not, we won’t be able to do the next step. Let’s grab another bowl and whip the egg whites until they are fluffy.
[Music]
Now let’s check to see if it turned out well. Let’s flip the bowl over carefully, and if the mixture sticks to the bowl, we did it right. If it falls out, we have to do it again. Let’s add the fluffed egg whites to the first mix, mixing them carefully up and down with the spatula.
Now for the part we like most: dipping the cookies in the cold coffee.
Now we have almost everything! Let’s put the tiramisu together. We’ll layer the ladyfingers we dipped in coffee in a glass bowl and then add the cream on top. We will continue until we have four layers finished. Now we just have to keep it in the fridge for two hours so it gets nice and cold. Meanwhile, we will clean the kitchen. See you in two hours!
[Music]
Oh, I think I fell asleep! Where were we? Oh, I know! We have to take the cake out of the fridge. Wow, it looks so good! We can’t forget to sprinkle a little bit of cocoa powder before we serve it. Oh my goodness, I really want to try it! We are going to celebrate Grandma’s birthday with the whole family. Thanks for helping me! I’m going to finish putting on the 90 candles. See you later!
