Blackberry Tiramisu With Chocolate Sauce Recipes

CHOCOLATE MOUSSE WITH BLACKBERRY SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt the chocolate in a double boiler at a low simmer, stirring occasionally. Add the espresso powder and mix to combine. Remove from the heat and let cool until cool to the touch, about 10 minutes.
• Whip the cream, sugar and vanilla to soft peaks in a large bowl, then let sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whip the egg whites in a separate large bowl until they hold soft peaks. Set aside.
• Take a large spoonful of the egg whites and mix into the chocolate mixture to lighten. Gently fold the remaining egg whites in. Fold in the whipped cream until no white streaks appear. Divide among glasses or bowls. Top with Blackberry Sauce, grated chocolate and whipped cream, if using.
• Combine the blackberries, sugar and lemon juice in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, then lower to a simmer and cook until the berries soften and break down, about 10 minutes. Mash the berries with the back of a spoon or a potato masher. Add the liqueur and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Strain through a mesh sieve. Let cool slightly before using.

BLACKBERRY TIRAMISU WITH CHOCOLATE SAUCE

Steps:

• Mix the coffee and muscovado sugar together, stirring until the sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool, then stir in the marsala.
• Meanwhile, beat the mascarpone, vanilla, caster sugar and milk together until smooth using an electric whisk. In a separate bowl using the same beaters, whisk the cream to soft peaks. Gently fold this into the mascarpone mixture.
• Set aside 4 tbsp of the coffee mixture. Dip a third of the sponge fingers into the remaining coffee mixture and use them to line the base of a 1.5-litre glass dish - a rectangular one is easier, but any shape will work, you may just need to break some of the sponge fingers to fit. Spread over a third of the mascarpone mixture and scatter over half the blackberries. Repeat the layers, finishing with the mascarpone. Sift over the cocoa or sprinkle with grated chocolate.
• Chill for at least 3 hrs. Will keep chilled for a day. When ready to serve, gently warm the reserved coffee mixture with the chopped chocolate, stirring until smooth. Spoon some of the warm sauce onto serving plates and top with a scoop of tiramisu.

CLASSIC TIRAMISU WITH CHOCOLATE

Steps:

• Make the zabaglione: Whisk the egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar in a medium heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water (do not let the bowl touch the water). Cook, whisking, until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. With the bowl still over the simmering water, gradually whisk in 1/3 cup Marsala and cook, whisking constantly, until the zabaglione is light, foamy and the mixture registers 170 degrees F on an instant-read thermometer, about 10 minutes. Remove the bowl from the pan and let cool completely.
• Put the mascarpone in a large bowl and fold in the zabaglione with a rubber spatula, then whisk until just smooth (do not overmix). Whisk the heavy cream in a medium bowl until stiff peaks form, then fold into the mascarpone mixture until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and the espresso powder in a shallow bowl; add the boiling water and stir until the sugar dissolves. Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup Marsala. One at a time, quickly dip half of the ladyfingers in the liquid, turning, until wet on both sides but not soggy (about 2 seconds per side); arrange in a single layer in a 9-inch square baking dish. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers and sprinkle with the chocolate. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers and top with the remaining mascarpone mixture. Dust with cocoa powder. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight.
