Tiramisù with Figs and Pavesini: A Unique Italian Recipe

Explore the fig-infused Tiramisù with Pavesini, a perfect Italian treat.

Tiramisù ai fichi con Pavesini

Indulge in the delicious Tiramisù ai fichi con Pavesini, a delightful end-of-summer twist on the classic Italian tiramisù, served in elegant single-serving cups. Chocolate Pavesini are lightly soaked in a coffee and rum mixture and layered with fresh figs, dark chocolate, and a creamy mascarpone blend.

To create the cream, we used the pâte à bombe technique, which allows for homemade pasteurization of the egg yolks while achieving a light, fluffy, and stable base, perfect for mixing with mascarpone.

Layer by layer, the sweetness of fresh figs meets the intense flavor of coffee, the aromatic hint of rum, and the bold taste of dark chocolate, resulting in a creamy and visually stunning dessert.
