Tiramisu Creme With Espresso Recipes

CLASSIC TIRAMISù

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, whip together egg yolks and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until very pale yellow and about tripled in volume. A slight ribbon should fall from the beaters (or whisk attachment) when lifted from the bowl. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, wiping out the medium bowl used to whip the yolks and set aside.
• In the medium bowl, whip cream and remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until it creates soft-medium peaks. Add mascarpone and continue to whip until it creates a soft, spreadable mixture with medium peaks. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the sweetened egg yolks until combined.
• Combine espresso and rum in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Using a sifter, dust the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish (an 8x8-inch dish, or a 9-inch round cake pan would also work here) with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
• Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture -- they are quite porous and will fall apart if left in the liquid too long -- and place them rounded side up at the bottom of the baking dish. Repeat, using half the ladyfingers, until you've got an even layer, breaking the ladyfingers in half as needed to fill in any obvious gaps (a little space in between is O.K.). Spread half the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers in one even layer. Repeat with remaining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
• Dust top layer with remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder. Top with shaved or finely grated chocolate, if desired.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (if you can wait 24 hours, all the better) before slicing or scooping to serve.

ICE CREAM TIRAMISU CAKE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine sugar and water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and stir in espresso and coffee liqueur. Let cool completely.
• Split the sponge cake in half horizontally to make two layers. Place bottom layer in a serving dish. Brush with 3/4 cup coffee syrup. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons ground espresso evenly over surface of cake. Beat the espresso ice cream with the paddle attachment of an electric mixer until spreadable. Spread over bottom cake layer. Place the top cake layer over the ice cream. Brush with remaining coffee syrup. Place in freezer 30 minutes.
• Beat the coffee ice cream until spreadable. Spread the ice cream over the frozen cake, and swirl to make pretty. Return cake to freezer until firm.

ESPRESSO TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, using an electric mixer set on medium speed, beat
• together the mascarpone cheese, 1 c up of the confectioner's sugar and the Marsala until well blended.
• Add the cream and beat until fluffy, about 1 minute. Set aside. In a small, heavy saucepan over high heat, combine the water, the remaining 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar and the espresso or coffee powder.
• Bring to a boil, stirring occasionally.
• Remove from the heat and let cool.
• Using a long serrated knife, cut the cake crosswise into slices 1/4- 1/3 inch thick.
• Select a 2 1/2-qt oval or rectangular glass or ceramic dish about 11 inches in diameter and 2 inches deep.
• Arrange enough of the cake slices in a single layer over the bottom of the dish to cover completely, trimming to fit as needed.
• Brush half of the cooled espresso syrup over the cake. Spread half of the cheese mixture evenly over the top.
• Top with enough of the cake slices in a single layer to cover completely, trimming to fit as needed.
• Brush the remaining cooled espresso syrup evenly over the top.
• Then spread the remaining cheese mixture over the top.
• Cover with pla stic wrap and refrigerate up to 2 days.
• Using a fine-mesh sieve, sift cocoa evenly top just before serving.
• Using a large spoon, scoop the tiramisu onto individual plates.

TWINKIE TIRAMISU WITH ESPRESSO SYRUP

Steps:

• Espresso Syrup: Combine water and sugar in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium high heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve sugar. Remove from heat, cool and add coffee and brandy.
• Mascarpone Filling: Beat mascarpone, sugar and vanilla until smooth. Whip cream until soft peaks form. Fold gently whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
• To assemble: Place a layer of the Twinkie slices in the bottom of a shallow 2 1/2 quart baking dish. Drizzle with half of the Espresso Syrup. Spread with half of the Mascarpone filling. Repeat with the remaining Twinkie slices, syrup and filling.
• Smooth top with a spatula. Cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours before serving. Just prior to serving, sift cocoa to lightly dust the top.

TIRAMISU ICE CREAM CAKE

Steps:

• Prepare cake: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Butter a 9-inch square baking pan. Line the pan with parchment paper and butter again. Flour pan and set aside.
• Sift flour and cornstarch together in a small bowl. Combine egg yolks, 1/2 cup sugar, and vanilla in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the whisk attachment; beat on high speed until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Wash and dry the mixer bowl and whisk and return to the stand. Combine egg whites and salt in the bowl; beat on medium speed until whites hold soft peaks, 1 1/2 minutes. Slowly add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar while the mixer is running. Continue beating until stiff and glossy, about 1 minute. Fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture. Fold in the flour-cornstarch mixture in 3 batches. Transfer batter to the prepared pan and smooth the top with an offset spatula.
• Bake in the preheated oven until a cake tester inserted in the middle comes out clean, 35 to 40 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Run a table knife around the edges to loosen. Invert carefully onto a serving plate or cooling rack. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• While the cake is cooling, prepare syrup: Combine sugar and water in a small saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Remove from the heat and stir in espresso and coffee-flavored liqueur. Set aside to cool.
• Prepare ice cream layer: Use a serrated knife to cut cooled cake in half horizontally, making 2 layers. Place one layer in the bottom of a 9-inch square baking pan. Brush the top with 3/4 cup cooled syrup, then sift 2 tablespoons ground espresso over top.
• Place espresso ice cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until ice cream is spreadable. Spread ice cream over cake, then top with second layer of cake. Brush with remaining syrup and place cake in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Remove cake from the freezer and sift remaining espresso over top.
• Place coffee ice cream in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on low speed until ice cream is spreadable. Spread ice cream over cake, forming large swirls. Return to the freezer and freeze until completely hard, at least 2 hours.
• To serve, garnish with chocolate curls.
