Tiramisu Delight 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.

TIRAMISU DELIGHT

Steps:

• Combine egg yolks and sugar in medium-sized bowl and beat well.
• In 2nd bowl, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form.
• In a 3rd, large bowl, combine egg yolk mixture and the marscapone cheese. Then fold in egg whites until blended. (Don't overmix!).
• Arrange ladyfingers tightly around bottom and sides of an 8-inch springform pan.
• Using a spoon, dribble less than half of the Triple Sec and less than half the coffee on the exposed surface of the ladyfingers.
• Cover the ladyfingers with the marscapone/egg mixture. Now cover that with another layer of ladyfingers.
• Cover the second layer of ladyfingers with the remaining coffee & Triple Sec. Sprinkle grated chocolate over the top layer of ladyfingers.
• NOW THE HARD PART! Place in the refrigerator for at least 12 hours. (I put a dish under springform pan to catch any liquids that may leak).
• (Tiramisu can be made 24 hours in advance).
