The 2nd of June. A perfect day for the Tiramisù.

A good Tiramisù

The 2nd of June. In Italy it's probably one of the most important days.

It's the day of the Italian #Republic

The day when, in 1946, Italian people (man and women for the first time together) voted for Republic instead of Monarchy.

The day when everything changed in my country.

And today, there is no better day to make the most famous Italian dessert in the world.

The #Tiramisù.

The truth? I ran out of Savoiardi (the spongefingers) so I just prepared only one layer of Savoiardi + Mascarpone cream. But when you know how to make a good Tiramisù base (egg yolks whisked with a sugar syrup + Mascarpone + whipped cream), you're just a step ahead.

The chocolate chip cookies

Chocolate chip cookies - biscotti con gocce di cioccolato

Ok... I understand. This is not a tradional Italian dish.

But for sure, it's traditionally good! And tonight, I just wanted to eat something good. Something easy to make, for which (I swear) I used Italian butter, Italian sugar (except cane sugar), Italian all purpose flour, Italian baking powder and so on...

I mean these cookies are great and they just deserve to be baked as much as you can!

I know, they are a little fat but, you know what? For one time, WHO CARES... Because, at the end, who cares about your stomach?

YOU.

So it's time to get started.

The Grandmother always knows the truth - La torta della nonna

The Grandmother's pie - la torta della nonna

In Italy (but I think also all over the world) the grandmothers are sacred.
And in my country they make part of the culture, they complete the family, take care of the grandchildren, tell stories of their youth.

And of course, they bake cakes and pies.

So, here's the grandmother's pie... A very simple but super tasty dessert made with cookie dough, pastry cream and pine nuts.

Buongiorno from Whitemascarpone!

The Whitemascarpone coffee mug

So you got your coffee spilling in the moka. Than on the other side, some milk. Maybe you want to add some sugar too.
You set the table perfectly.
Of course, to eat, you need something good... What about a delicious Ciambella (the Italian donut).
Ok, now everything is fine.
Well, kind of.
Aren't you missing anything?
