Tiramisu is traditionally prepared with uncooked eggs, which comes with a minimal risk. As long as you use high-quality, fresh eggs, they are generally safe uncooked. Another option is to buy pasteurized eggs, which are heated in their shells and safe to consume raw. That said, if you're serving someone who is immunocompromised or you just don't feel comfortable, I included an option for making this tiramisu with cooked eggs by beating them over simmering water. This is detailed in the recipe card.
