Is Tiramisu Made With Raw Eggs? Here’s How We Make Tiramisu Safe To Eat

If you’ve ever looked up a tiramisu recipe, you’ll notice some of them use raw egg yolks; the easiest to make, but riskiest to eat (think Salmonella risk, no thank you!). 

The question is, why should we need to choose between one of the best desserts of all time and our peace of mind? That’s why we prepare our tiramisus using a cooked sabayon method, where the egg yolks are gently heated and whisked with sugar and alcohol until smooth, glossy, and safe.

Cooking the yolks solves the main concern of bacteria with raw eggs. But how and what we cook it with takes it to a different level. Before adding the yolks to the Tiramisu, they are cooked in sugar and Kahlua (alcohol) to 75 deg C for an extended period of time to get a thick, creamy, flavourful sabayon. This sabayon is then used as a base that is not only safe, but also:

• Naturally Preserved: Sugar and alcohol act as natural preservatives, reducing the risk of spoilage.
• More Stable: The cooked sabayon holds its structure better, giving the cream a smoother, more consistent texture.
• Longer Shelf Life: The stabilizing effect of sugar and alcohol means our tiramisu stays fresh and indulgent for longer.

Beyond our no-compromise attitude for food safety, we go one step further to ensure what you get is as fresh as if you made it yourself, because we make every tiramisu to order, and do our best to make sure its always cold:

All Tiramisus are made the night before (only because it needs time to set in the fridge overnight) pickup/ delivery, so it’ll be at it freshest and ready to eat once it lands in your hands

All orders are packed in foil lined cooler bags with ice packs to ensure they remain nice and chilled before they’re transferred to your fridge or better still, your mouth

At Tiramisu Tea-ramisu, every detail matters and is always evaluated on how we could make it better. By cooking egg yolks with sugar and alcohol, and making each tiramisu fresh to order, we guarantee every bite is safe, stable, and irresistibly fresh! Order yours today and indulge with confidence!
