Categories     Dessert

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large egg yolks ((approx. 1/2 cup of yolks))
1 cup sugar (superfine or caster if possible)
1¼ cup mascarpone cheese (( room temperature)
1¾ cup heavy whipping cream
30 each Italian ladyfingers (about 1 ½ of the 7 ounce packages (Savoiardi style) )
1 cup cold espresso or strong coffee
½ cup coffee flavored Liqueur (optional )
1 ounce unsweetened cocoa for dusting

Steps:

  • This is how you will make the Sabayon:When you are ready to make the sabayon place about one inch of water in a small pot and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to simmer and place a bowl on top of the small pot so it's sitting on the pot without touching the water.
  • Now Begin Making the Sabayon:Add the egg yolks and sugar to the bowl, whipping to mix the ingredients together. Place the bowl on the small pot of simmering water. Using a whisk to mix, whip the egg/sugar mixture constantly for about 10 minutes. This will cook the eggs. The mixture will increase in volume as it thickens. This is your sabayon. After you have finished whipping the sabayon, remove the bowl from the heat and continue to whip yolks to help it cool. The mixture should be thick and a lemon yellow color. Allow to cool briefly before mixing in mascarpone.**If the bowl starts to get too hot, lift it off the pot of water for 15 seconds or so while continuing to whip the mixture. You can do this as often as necessary. * *If you used regular sugar instead of superfine / castor sugar your finished sabayon may be grainy. That's okay it will finish dissolving while your tiramisu is firming up.
  • Add room temperature Mascarpone to whipped yolks, mix until well combined. Don't overmix this can cause curdling.*Mascarpone only needs to get to set out for 15-20 minutes. Don't let it get warm.
  • In a separate bowl, using an electric mixer whip cream to stiff peaks. (hand mixer or stand mixer is fine). This process should be slow, starting. on low increasing the speed over about ten minutes.**This method is how you keep the whipped cream from breaking. The cream should be ice cold and as fresh as possible. Look for heavy cream with the longest expiration date.
  • Gently fold the whipped cream in the mascarpone sabayon mixture and refrigerate until you are ready to assemble the tiramisu.
  • Mix the cold espresso (or strong coffee) with the coffee liqueur and dip the ladyfingers into the mixture just long enough to get them wet, do not soak them!**If you can't use alcohol, just leave out the liqueur.
  • Arrange the ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking dish (or container similarly sized)
  • Spoon half the mascarpone cream filling over the ladyfingers.
  • Repeat process with another layer of ladyfingers
  • Add another layer of tiramisu cream
  • Refrigerate at least 4 hours. Overnight is best.
  • Dust with cocoa before serving

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.

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.

Categories     Pie

Time 30m

Yield 1 slice, 10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

18 -30 ladyfingers (recipe as follows)
2/3 cup white sugar
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 dash salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups mascarpone cheese (about two 8 oz packets)
4 raw eggs
1/4-1/3 cup baileys chocolate coffee creamer
1 cup strong coffee
1/4-1/2 cup sugar (more than a fourth, less than a half)
1/8 cup bittersweet chocolate (shaved)
1/8 cup dark chocolate (shaved)
cocoa powder

Steps:

  • For the lady fingers:.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line 2 pans with parchment paper and prepare a pastry bag with a 1/2 inch tip (or just use a spoon as I did, they won't be pretty, but they taste and bake the same as long as the consistency is proper).
  • Separate the eggs and whisk the egg yolks with 1/2 of the sugar and the vanilla. Beat until very light colored. This will take approx 5 minutes or so.
  • In a clean, dry bowl beat the egg whites until they hold soft peeks. While beating, slowly incorporate the salt and the remaining sugar until combined. Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the egg yolk mixture.
  • Sift the flour over the egg mixture and fold it in gently. Fill the pastry with half of the batter and pipe (or spoon) three 1/2 inch fingers, 1 1/2 inches apart, in rows on the parchment paper. Continue with the second half of the batter in the same manner.
  • Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for about 15 minutes until firm to the touch and golden. Remove the paper and fingers from the baking sheet and place on wire racks to cool.
  • After cooling, remove fingers from the paper and use, or store between layers of wax paper in a airtight container until needed.
  • .
  • For the Cream:
  • Find a nice pan, 6X4-8X6 in size. Set aside.
  • Mix the mascarpone, egg yolks, and sugar until you have a soft cream. Set aside.
  • In a large bowl, whisk the egg whites until fluffy, add the Baileys and continue whisking until incorporated.
  • Gently add the marscapone to the egg white mixture. Don't overmix or mix with too much vigor. This will be the cream. Set aside.
  • Soak the savoiardi(ladyfingers) in the coffee for about 10-15 sec. Lay the soaked ladyfingers individually onto the bottom of your pan from step one. Do not overlap.
  • Top the soaked ladyfingers with approximately 1/3-1/2 of the cream.(lay the ladyfingers the opposite way lengthwise then you did the first time) repeat procedure until you are out of cream.
  • Sift cocoa powder over the tiramisu and top with chocolate shavings.
  • Let the tiramisu sit in the refrigerator for at least 7 hours before serving.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. Fresh, organic ingredients will result in a better-tasting tiramisu.
  • Make sure your mascarpone is cold before using it. This will help it whip up more easily and give your tiramisu a light and fluffy texture.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Overbeaten egg whites will make your tiramisu tough.
  • Let your tiramisu chill for at least 4 hours, or overnight, before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.
  • Serve your tiramisu with a dusting of cocoa powder or grated chocolate.

Conclusion:

Tiramisu is a classic Italian dessert that is sure to impress your guests. With its rich, creamy filling and delicate ladyfinger cookies, it's the perfect dessert for any occasion. Follow these tips and you'll be able to make a tiramisu that is both delicious and beautiful.
