1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon dry Marsala
16 ounces mascarpone
2 cups heavy cream

THE BEST TIRAMISU



The Best Tiramisu image

Making this classic Italian dessert is surprisingly easy. We start the custard with a traditional Marsala-flavored zabaglione -- a cooked mixture of egg yolks and sugar. Then we lighten it with tangy mascarpone cheese, which provides just the right creamy, mousse-like texture. Once assembled, the ladyfingers soften sufficiently after 4 hours in the refrigerator, but if you can wait longer, the flavors will meld even more.

Time 4h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 tablespoons sweet Marsala
Two 8-ounce containers (16 ounces) mascarpone cheese
4 tablespoons instant espresso powder
3 to 4 tablespoons sweet Marsala (see Cook's Note)
1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon unsweetened cocoa powder, for dusting
One 7-ounce package ladyfingers, such as Savoiardi (see Cook's Note)

Steps:

  • For the mascarpone custard: Add the egg yolks, sugar and Marsala to a medium heatproof bowl and whisk to combine. Set the bowl over a medium saucepan of gently simmering water (do not allow the bowl to touch the water). Whisk constantly until the mixture is pale, hot to the touch and has doubled in volume, 4 to 6 minutes, scraping down the sides of the bowl occasionally with a rubber spatula. (This can be done with an electric mixer to speed up the process.) Remove from the heat and continue whisking until slightly cooled, about 1 minute. Whisk in the mascarpone cheese until combined. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  • To assemble: Stir together 1 1/4 cups hot water, espresso powder and 3 to 4 tablespoons Marsala in a liquid measuring cup. Evenly divide the mixture between two medium bowls. Dust the bottom of an 8-by-8-inch baking dish with 1 teaspoon cocoa powder.
  • Working one at a time, dip half of the ladyfingers into one bowl of the espresso mixture for 2 seconds per side, until soaked but not soggy. Arrange them over the cocoa powder in one layer, breaking up as needed to fill in any gaps. Pour any remaining liquid from the first bowl over the layer of ladyfingers. Spread half the mascarpone custard over the ladyfingers. Repeat the process with another layer of ladyfingers and the remaining bowl of espresso mixture, then spread with the remaining mascarpone custard.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or up to overnight. Sift the remaining 1 tablespoon cocoa powder over the top just before serving.

TIRAMISU



Tiramisu image

For a classic Italian dessert, try Giada De Laurentiis' Tiramisu recipe: ladyfingers soaked in espresso and rum and laced with creamy mascarpone.

Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     dessert

Time 2h25m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

*6 egg yolks
3 tablespoons sugar
1 pound mascarpone cheese
1 1/2 cups strong espresso, cooled
2 teaspoons dark rum
24 packaged ladyfingers
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate shavings, for garnish

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.
  • In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart. Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
  • Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
  • Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.
  • Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

CLASSIC TIRAMISù



Classic Tiramisù image

Done correctly, a classic tiramisù can be transcendent. A creamy dessert of espresso-soaked ladyfingers surrounded by lightly sweetened whipped cream and a rich mascarpone, tiramisù relies heavily on the quality of its ingredients. If you don't have a barista setup at home, pick up the espresso at a local coffee shop, or use strongly brewed coffee. As for the ladyfingers, make your own or buy them, but keep in mind that store-bought varieties can range from soft and spongy (like angel food cake) to hard and crunchy (like biscotti). Both kinds will work here, but if you're using the softer variety, stick to a light brushing of espresso, instead of a deep dip.

Time 25m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large egg yolks
1/2 cup/100 grams granulated sugar, divided
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup/227 grams mascarpone (8 ounces)
1 3/4 cups good espresso or very strong coffee
2 tablespoons rum or cognac
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
About 24 ladyfingers (from one 7-ounce/200-gram package)
1 to 2 ounces bittersweet chocolate, for shaving (optional)

Steps:

  • Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, whip together egg yolks and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until very pale yellow and about tripled in volume. A slight ribbon should fall from the beaters (or whisk attachment) when lifted from the bowl. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, wiping out the medium bowl used to whip the yolks and set aside.
  • In the medium bowl, whip cream and remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until it creates soft-medium peaks. Add mascarpone and continue to whip until it creates a soft, spreadable mixture with medium peaks. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the sweetened egg yolks until combined.
  • Combine espresso and rum in a shallow bowl and set aside.
  • Using a sifter, dust the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish (an 8x8-inch dish, or a 9-inch round cake pan would also work here) with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
  • Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture -- they are quite porous and will fall apart if left in the liquid too long -- and place them rounded side up at the bottom of the baking dish. Repeat, using half the ladyfingers, until you've got an even layer, breaking the ladyfingers in half as needed to fill in any obvious gaps (a little space in between is O.K.). Spread half the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers in one even layer. Repeat with remaining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
  • Dust top layer with remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder. Top with shaved or finely grated chocolate, if desired.
  • Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (if you can wait 24 hours, all the better) before slicing or scooping to serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. Stale or old ingredients will compromise the flavor of your tiramisu. Make sure your coffee is freshly brewed and strong, and that your mascarpone is fresh and creamy.
  • Don't overbeat the mascarpone. Overbeating will make the mascarpone dense and grainy. Beat it just until it is smooth and creamy.
  • Allow the tiramisu to chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set properly.
  • Dust the top of the tiramisu with cocoa powder just before serving. This will add a rich, chocolatey flavor and make your tiramisu look extra special.

Conclusion:

With its rich, creamy texture and delightful coffee and chocolate flavors, tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert that is perfect for any occasion. Whether you are making it for a special dinner party or just a cozy night in, this recipe will help you create a delicious and impressive tiramisu that everyone will love.
