Next Level Tiramisu Recipes

NEXT LEVEL TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Beat the egg yolks, sugar, the vanilla, a grating of nutmeg and 50ml of the marsala using an electric whisk in a heatproof bowl over a pan of barely simmering water for 10 mins, until pale and light. Put in the fridge to cool.
• In a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone and cream together with an electric whisk until the mixture holds soft peaks. Gently fold the egg yolk and cream mixtures together with a spatula, being careful not to over-stir. Put the bowl back in the fridge to chill.
• Scatter a little sugar over the base of a deep 20 x 20cm serving dish. Pour the coffee and the remaining 100ml marsala into a bowl. One by one, dip 12 biscuits in the coffee mixture on each side for a couple of seconds (don't leave them too long or they'll go soggy), then lay flat in the dish to cover the base. Spread over half the cream mixture. Dip the remaining biscuits in the coffee and arrange on top of the cream, then finish with a final layer of the cream. Cover the dish and chill for at least 3 hrs. Can be made up to two days in advance.
• To make the crunchy topping, put the sugar and a splash of water in a saucepan, and stir to combine. Simmer over a medium heat until you have an amber-coloured caramel. Pour the caramel onto a parchment-lined baking tray and tilt to spread. While it's still hot, dust with the coffee and cocoa powder, then leave to set until hard. Break into small pieces, then blitz in a processor to a rough crumb. Sprinkle over the tiramisu and dust with a little cocoa powder to serve.

MY FAMILY'S FAVORITE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment or in a large bowl using a handheld electric mixer, whisk the egg yolks and sugar on medium-high to high speed until the mixture is pale and holds a ribbon on the surface when the whisk is lifted out, 3 to 4 minutes. Whisk in the mascarpone until the mixture thickens.
• In a clean mixer bowl using a clean whisk attachment, whisk the egg whites on medium-high speed until they form stiff peaks. They will almost triple in size.
• Gently fold the egg whites into the mascarpone mixture. Refrigerate until ready to assemble.
• Pour the coffee and brandy into a shallow dish. Dip the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture one at a time and arrange them over the base of a 7-by-11-inch or 9-by-13-inch serving dish. When dipping, do not let the ladyfingers soak, or they will get soggy; instead, dip one in the liquid and then quickly turn and dip the other end, then straight into the serving dish.
• Spread one-third of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers, covering them well, then repeat the layers twice more, dipping the ladyfingers, arranging them in the dish, and then covering with mascarpone.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 5 hours to set. Before serving, dust generously with the cocoa powder. This is best eaten within 24 hours.

5 INGREDIENT TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Beat cream in a bowl with an electric mixer until thick. Add mascarpone cheese and sugar; beat until well mixed.
• Pour espresso into a bowl. Dip ladyfingers in espresso, then touch cookies briefly to a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Arrange dipped ladyfingers in a single layer in the bottom of a 13x9-inch baking dish. Spread 1/2 the mascarpone cheese mixture over ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of dipped ladyfingers over the mascarpone cheese mixture and spread the remaining 1/2 mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Chill in the refrigerator for 24 hours.

TIRAMISU II

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form.
• Whisk mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth.
• In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and drizzle with coffee mixture.
• Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a 7x11 inch dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat layers and sprinkle with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.
