About this tour
Spend two and a half hours in Rome's city centre learning to craft two Italian classics from scratch. A pastry chef walks you through baking savoiardi biscuits, whisking mascarpone cream, and assembling tiramisu, then pivots to gelato-making with seasonal fruit. Small groups keep the atmosphere intimate and hands-on. You'll leave with recipes and the confidence to recreate both desserts at home.
Highlights
- Bake savoiardi biscuits from dough to golden finish
- Whisk mascarpone cream and layer authentic tiramisu
- Make water-based gelato with fresh seasonal fruit
- Taste your homemade gelato straight after churning
- Small group class, chef-led instruction throughout
- Alcohol-free tiramisu; bring your own if preferred
What to expect
You'll arrive in central Rome at a cooking studio. The chef demonstrates each step of tiramisu production—mixing, baking, assembly—before you take over. Expect flour on your hands and a hands-on pace. The gelato segment follows, where you'll learn the difference between gelato and ice cream, churn a seasonal water-based sorbet, and taste it while it's cold. The whole experience sits between active cooking and guided tasting; you're doing the work, not watching from a stool.
Good to know
Dietary requirements must be noted at booking. The tiramisu is alcohol-free unless you opt to add your own. Wear clothes you don't mind getting messy. Public transport reaches the venue easily. Children must have an adult present; infants sit on an adult's lap.
