Preparation
Let's start by making some coffee - leave to cool after sweetening to taste and dilute with 3 cups of water. Separate the yolks from the whites and beat the yolks with the sugar until they become foamy. Mix well with mascarpone and then beat the egg whites until stiff. Combine the egg whites with the creamy mascarpone mixture, mixing with a spatula from the bottom upwards to prevent the eggs from breaking down too much. In a bowl loosen the Nutella with 3 tablespoons of milk. If necessary add a little more milk. We can now put the Tiramisù together in a single dish or a number of ramekins. Proceed by alternating biscuits dipped in coffee, the creamy mascarpone, the milky Nutella, and a sprinkling of chopped hazelnuts - continue like this until all ingredients are used up.

In this version, typical Abruzzese cookies, such as "pizzelle," can be used, adding a local touch to the preparation. The mascarpone cream, enriched with Nutella, pairs perfectly with strong and aromatic coffee, a fundamental element for tiramisu.

Light Nutella Tiramisu without Sugar
For those who wish to enjoy a Nutella Tiramisu without compromising their diet, the light version without sugar is an excellent alternative. By using natural sweeteners instead of traditional sugar, it is possible to maintain the sweetness of the dessert without adding unnecessary calories. Additionally, one can opt for a lower-fat mascarpone and whole grain cookies, which help make the dish lighter and healthier. The Nutella cream can be used in smaller quantities, diluting it with a bit of milk to achieve a creamy and enveloping consistency. This light Tiramisu is ideal for those who want to maintain a balanced diet without giving up the pleasure of a delicious dessert.
Benefits of Nutella Tiramisu: Energy and Nutrients
The Nutella Tiramisu is not only a delicious dessert but can also offer some nutritional benefits. The main ingredients, such as mascarpone and hazelnuts, provide a good dose of protein and healthy fats. Hazelnuts, in particular, are rich in vitamin E, antioxidants, and minerals like magnesium, which help maintain cardiovascular health. The presence of coffee also provides an energy boost and can improve concentration. However, it is important to consider the calories: a serving of Nutella Tiramisu can contain about 300-400 calories, depending on the quantities used. Therefore, it is advisable to enjoy it in moderation to avoid compromising one's dietary regimen.
How to Store Nutella Tiramisu?
A common question concerns the storage of Nutella Tiramisu. This dessert can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, covered with plastic wrap to prevent it from absorbing odors. It is important not to freeze it, as the consistency of the mascarpone cream and Nutella could compromise its quality upon thawing. If you wish to prepare it in advance, it is advisable to assemble the tiramisu and let it rest in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours before serving, so that the flavors blend perfectly. In this way, the dessert will be ready to enjoy and will maintain its freshness.
