One In A Million Tiramisu Recipes

EASY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Pour coffee into a pie dish. Combine eggs, sugar, and Marsala in a large metal bowl set on top of (but not in) a pot of simmering water. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until mixture doubles in volume and reaches 160°F on a thermometer, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Remove bowl from heat and let cool slightly. Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk cream to form peaks. Gently whisk mascarpone into egg mixture, then fold in whipped cream.
• Working one at a time, dip half of ladyfingers in coffee, about 1 second per side, and arrange in the bottom of a 9-by-9-inch baking dish; fit them snugly side by side to line dish. Evenly spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers. Dip remaining half of ladyfingers in coffee and repeat layering with cookies and mascarpone mixture.
• Sift a layer of cocoa over top so it infuses cream. Wrap dish with plastic and refrigerate at least 9 hours and up to 1 day. To serve, sift another layer of cocoa over top and cut into squares.

CLASSIC TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored.
• Add mascarpone to whipped yolks. Beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.
• Split the lady fingers in half, and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Brush with coffee liqueur. Spoon half of the cream filling over the lady fingers. Repeat ladyfingers, coffee liqueur and filling layers. Garnish with cocoa and chocolate curls. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
• To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar.

TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In a clean bowl, whip the egg whites and 3 tbsp of sugar together with a hand mixer, for about 3-5 minutes until the egg whites hold stiff peaks.
• In a separate bowl, whip the egg yolks with the remaining 3 tbsp sugar for 2-3 minutes until the egg yolks are thick and pale yellow in color.
• Add the mascarpone to the egg yolks and whip until combined.
• Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the egg yolk mixture and set aside.
• In a small flat dish or bowl, combine the espresso and amaretto.
• Dunk each ladyfinger fully into the espresso mixture for 1-2 seconds and place into the bottom of a 8x8 dish, or into individual ramekins. Don't let the ladyfinger soak so much that it falls apart, just a quick dunk to let it absorb a little bit of espresso.
• Once the ladyfingers have formed a single layer in the bottom of the dish, spread 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
• Arrange another layer of espresso soaked ladyfingers on top, and spread over the remaining mascarpone cream.
• Cover the top of the dish with plastic wrap and let the tiramisu refrigerate for 4-6 hours.
• Serve cold, with a light dusting of cocoa on top. Enjoy!

ONE-IN-A-MILLION TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In a chilled bowl with chilled beaters, whip the cream until it just holds firm peaks. In a separate bowl, whip the mascarpone until smooth. Add the confectioner's sugar, 3-4 tablespoons of espresso (if desired), and the vanilla to the mascarpone. In two or three additions, fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture, being careful not to overbeat. Make one layer of Savoiardi in the bottom of a 13 x 9 inch serving dish. Brush generously with espresso. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture onto the savoiardi. Top with a second layer of Savoiardi and brush again with espresso. Set aside any unused savoiardi for another use. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture over the top layer. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably 8 hours or overnight. Before serving, dust cocoa over the tiramisu.
