The video is from the YouTube channel "Binging with Babish" where the host is making Tiramisu from the movie Superbad. The host starts by making ladyfingers from scratch using a recipe from Gemma Stafford, which involves whisking egg yolks and sugar, then adding flour and folding in egg whites. The ladyfingers are then baked and allowed to cool.
Next, the host makes a custard by beating egg yolks and sugar, then adding heavy cream and marscapone cheese. The custard is set aside, and the host brews a cup of strong coffee, ideally espresso.
The host then assembles the Tiramisu by spreading a layer of custard in the bottom of a springform pan, lining the rim with ladyfingers, and layering ladyfingers soaked in coffee and rum with custard. The Tiramisu is refrigerated for at least 4 hours or up to 24 hours.
However, the host made a mistake by arranging the springform pan upside down, so they had to redo the assembly. The Tiramisu is finally complete and the host takes a bite, describing it as "totally delicious" with rich and flavorful custard, light and delicate ladyfingers, and a great pairing with coffee.
The video is sponsored by Philips Espresso, and the host showcases their espresso machine and its features. The video ends with the host thanking Philips Espresso and inviting viewers to check out their machine.
