The Best Easy Tiramisu Recipes

THE BEST EASY TIRAMISU RECIPE

Steps:

• Prep for the recipe by setting out all cold ingredients and making the espresso. Pour the espresso into a shallow dish and add the rum. Set aside. Set out a separate 9X13 inch baking dish to layer the tiramisu.
• Set a double boiler (or a small pot with a glass bowl resting over the top) on the stovetop. Add 1 inch of water to the lower section and turn the heat on medium. Add the egg yolks and sugar to the top of the double boiler. Vigorously whisk the sabayon mixture for 8-10 minutes over the heat until it is very smooth, thick, and much lighter in color. (It should look like lemon pudding.) Remove from heat and let it cool a little.
• In the bowl of an electric stand mixer, whip the heavy cream into firm peaks. (Start on low speed, and gradually move to high, until the whipped cream is very thick and firm.) Remove the whipped cream from the mixer bowl and place it in another bowl.
• Then scoop the sabayon egg mixture into the stand mixer bowl and add the mascarpone cheese and vanilla. Whip until very smooth. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula and beat again to incorporate any chunks.
• Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture with a spatula. (Do not beat!) Continue to fold until the mixture is very even.
• One at a time, dunk the Ladyfingers into the espresso mixture. Roll them over and remove them immediately. DO NOT let the Ladyfingers soak in the espresso; they will dissolve! Once dunked, arrange the Ladyfingers in a single layer, in the bottom of the baking dish. You should be able to fit 20-22 Ladyfingers in one layer.
• Use a spatula to spread half of the mascarpone cream over the Ladyfingers in the dish. Then repeat with a second layer of Ladyfingers and a second layer of mascarpone cream. (4 layers total) Then place the tiramisu in the refrigerator, uncovered, and chill for at least 4 hours. You can chill overnight, but make sure to cover the top with plastic after the first few hours.
• When ready to serve, place the cocoa powder in a sifter. Use the sifter to sprinkle a heavy even layer of cocoa powder over the top of the tiramisu. Cut and serve!

EASY TIRAMISU RECIPE

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

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.

BEST EVER TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Put the double cream, mascarpone, marsala and golden caster sugar in a large bowl.
• Whisk until the cream and mascarpone have completely combined and have the consistency of thickly whipped cream.
• Pour the coffee into a shallow dish. Dip in a few of the sponge fingers at a time, turning for a few seconds until they are nicely soaked, but not soggy. Layer these in a dish until you've used half the sponge fingers, then spread over half of the creamy mixture.
• Using the coarse side of the grater, grate over most of the dark chocolate. Then repeat the layers (you should use up all the coffee), finishing with the creamy layer.
• Cover and chill for a few hours or overnight. Will keep in the fridge for up to two days.
• To serve, dust with the cocoa powder and grate over the remainder of the chocolate.
