Tiramisu
Ingredients:- 36 or so lady fingers
- 5 large egg yolks
- 1/3 cup plus 3 Tbsp sugar (divided)
- 1 Tbs. water
- 1/3 cup sweet Marsala wine
- 1/2 cup whipping cream
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 14 oz. mascarpone cheese, room temperature
- 1 cup cooled espresso or extra-strong coffee
- 2-3 Tbsp rum or brandy
- 3 Tbs. sugar
- 5 ounces grated bittersweet or semisweet chocolate
- 1 Tbs. unsweetened cocoa powder
In medium, heat-proof bowl, beat egg yolks and sugar on high speed until thick and pale yellow. Whisk in Marsala and water. Set bowl in large skillet of barely simmering water and whisk or beat until mixture reaches 160 degrees. Remove bowl from skillet and let cool 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. In separate bowl, beat cream and vanilla until soft peaks form. Place cheese in large bowl and fold in the whipped cream and the cooled egg yolk mixture. Combine espresso, rum and remaining 3 tbs. sugar in shallow dish. Dip half the ladyfingers in the espresso mixture and arrange in a 9x13" dish. (be careful not to soak them- the ladyfingers will simply disintegrate. just dip quickly) Spread remaining cheese filling over and between ladyfingers and sprinkle with half of the grated chocolate. Dip remaining ladyfingers in remaining espresso mixture and arrange over the cheese/ chocolate layer. Finish with the remaining cheese layer and top with sifted cocoa. Cover and refrigerate at least one hour (or up to 24 hours in advance). Makes 10-12 servings. To make a suggestion, fill out our feedback form. |
