Categories     Dessert

Time 8h

Number Of Ingredients 10

2½ cups strong brewed coffee, room temperature
1½ tablespoons instant espresso powder
6½ tablespoons Kahlua (divided)
6 egg yolks
⅔ cup sugar
¼ teaspoon salt
¾ cup cold heavy cream, divided
24 ounces mascarpone cheese
14 ounces dried ladyfingers (savoiardi)
3½ tablespoons Dutch-processed cocoa powder

Steps:

  • Stir coffee, espresso, and 2½ tablespoons Kahlua in a wide bowl or baking dish until espresso dissolves; set aside.
  • In bowl of standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, beat yolks at low speed until just combined. Add sugar and salt and beat at medium-high speed until pale yellow, 1½ to 2 minutes, scraping down bowl with rubber spatula once or twice. Add ⅓ cup of the heavy cream to yolks and beat at medium speed until just combined, 20 to 30 seconds; scrape bowl.
  • Set the bowl with yolks over a medium saucepan containing 1 inch of gently simmering water; cook, constantly scraping along bottom and sides of bowl with heatproof rubber spatula, until mixture coats back of spoon and registers 160 degrees on instant-read thermometer, 4 to 7 minutes. Remove from heat and stir vigorously to cool slightly, then set aside to cool to room temperature, about 15 minutes.
  • Whisk in remaining 4 tablespoons Kahlua until combined. Transfer bowl to standing mixer fitted with whisk attachment, add mascarpone, and beat at medium speed until no lumps remain, 30 to 45 seconds. Transfer mixture to large bowl and set aside.
  • In now-empty mixer bowl, beat the remaining cream at medium speed until frothy, 1 to 1½ minutes. Increase speed to high and continue to beat until the cream holds stiff peaks, 1 to 1½ minutes longer. Using a rubber spatula, fold one-third of the whipped cream into mascarpone mixture to lighten, then gently fold in remaining whipped cream until no white streaks remain. Set mascarpone mixture aside.
  • Working one at a time, drop half of ladyfingers into coffee mixture, roll, remove and transfer to 13 by 9-inch glass or ceramic baking dish. (Do not submerge ladyfingers in coffee mixture; entire process should take no longer than 2 to 3 seconds for each cookie.) Arrange soaked cookies in single layer in baking dish, breaking or trimming ladyfingers as needed to fit neatly into dish.
  • Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers; use rubber spatula to spread mixture to sides and into corners of dish and smooth surface. Place 2 tablespoons cocoa in fine-mesh strainer and dust cocoa over mascarpone.
  • Repeat dipping and arrangement of ladyfingers; spread remaining mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers and dust with remaining 1½ tablespoons cocoa. Wipe edges of dish with dry paper towel. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate 6 to 24 hours. Cut into pieces and serve chilled. Leftovers can be stored, tightly wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

EASY TIRAMISU RECIPE



Easy Tiramisu Recipe image

Your friends and family will love my tiramisu recipe. It's easy to make and I guarantee it will be the Best Tiramisu you've ever had! Can you believe that this classic dessert can be made in 30 minutes?

Provided by Chef Dennis Littley

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.

THE BEST TIRAMISU



The Best Tiramisu image

This recipe makes the absolute best tiramisu ever! It's so (deceptively) light and creamy, with a lovely coffee/amaretto taste. It gets rave reviews every time I make it! Best made a day ahead. The recipe comes from the ladyfinger cookie package. Cook time is approximate time to make coffee.

Provided by Mel T

Categories     Dessert

Time 30m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

14 ounces ladyfingers (I use the Vincenzi all'uovo brand)
400 g mascarpone cheese (if the container is 475g, you can use all of it, if desired)
4 eggs
100 g sugar (I use 1/2 cup)
2 cups brewed espresso, hot (or very strong coffee)
3 ounces Amaretto (or to taste, can be omitted if wish)
cocoa powder, for dusting

Steps:

  • Separate eggs, placing yolks in a large-sized bowl and whites in a medium-sized bowl.
  • Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form; set aside.
  • Beat egg yolks and sugar together until creamy and golden yellow.
  • Add mascarpone and whip until fully incorporated.
  • Fold in beaten egg whites, and set mixture aside.
  • Get out your 13 x 9 glass dish (or serving dish of your choice).
  • Pour coffee and amaretto into another dish to dunk the cookies.
  • VERY, VERY QUICKLY dunk enough cookies (one at a time) to line the bottom of the serving dish.
  • The cookies absorb liquids very rapidly so you don't want to keep them in the hot coffee - just dip them in and take out immediately.
  • Once the bottom of the serving dish is covered, spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the cookies.
  • Repeat the cookie step, then spread on the remaining mascarpone mixture.
  • Refrigerate for several hours to allow everything to set and to let the flavours develop.
  • Dust with cocoa. (If it will be in the fridge overnight, you may wish to save the cocoa dusting until the next day.)
  • Ideally, the tiramisu should be made the day before you wish to serve it, and it lasts several days if kept refrigerated.

Tips:

  • Use fresh espresso for the best flavor. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use strongly brewed coffee instead.
  • Make sure the mascarpone is cold before using it. This will help it whip up more easily and give the tiramisu a lighter texture.
  • Don't overbeat the egg whites. Stiff peaks are all you need to create a light and airy filling.
  • Assemble the tiramisu in a single layer for a classic presentation, or in multiple layers for a more dramatic look.
  • Refrigerate the tiramisu for at least 4 hours before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld and the tiramisu to set.

Conclusion:

This tiramisu recipe is a classic for a reason. It's easy to make, delicious, and always a crowd-pleaser. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a dessert that will impress your friends and family. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give this tiramisu recipe a try.
