Amaretto Tiramisu For Two Recipes

AMARETTO TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Start by making the sabayon and whisk the egg yolks, sugar, vanilla extract and almond extract until smooth. Bring a pot of water to a simmer and place bowl on top of the pot, making sure the water is not touching the bottom of the bowl.
• Continue whisking for about 10 minutes, until mixture is slightly thickened and a light yellow color. Remove from heat and set aside while you prep the rest of the tiramisu.
• Using an electric mixer, whisk mascarpone, dark rum and amaretto until smooth. Slowly drizzle in egg mixture and whisk until combined.
• In a separate bowl, whisk the heavy cream until soft-medium peaks, about 3-5 minutes. Then fold in half of the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until incorporated and finish with the other half. The mixture will look a bit loose but will firm up as it chills.
• Meanwhile, in another bowl, stir the coffee, dark rum and Amaretto together. Dip both sides of the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture and place in a 9inch x 13inch casserole dish, lining up the ladyfingers so they are in a snug single layer.
• Spread half of the mascarpone mixture onto the first layer and dip the rest of the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture for the second layer and spreading the remaining mascarpone mixture on top.
• Place a sheet of plastic wrap

Steps:

• Beat together cream cheese and sugar in medium-size bowl until light and creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in amaretto and vanilla.
• Fold whipped topping into cream-cheese mixture.
• Arrange half of ladyfingers in dish just large enough to hold them in one layer, such as a 9 x 9-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle with half the coffee. Top with half the cream-cheese mixture, spreading smooth. Sprinkle with half the cocoa. Arrange the remaining ladyfingers over cocoa. Sprinkle with remaining coffee. Top with remaining cream-cheese mixture, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with remaining cocoa.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and sliced almonds.

SOPRANOS STYLE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Whisk mascarpone cheese, sugar, and amaretto liqueur together in a bowl until smooth.
• Beat cream in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: whipped cream will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
• Pour espresso into a bowl. Dip ladyfingers into espresso and arrange 12 dipped ladyfingers in an 8-inch square pan. Spread 1/2 the mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers. Grate 1 chocolate square over mascarpone layer. Repeat a second layer with remaining dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and chocolate, respectively. Refrigerate tiramisu until set, at least 2 hours.
