Amaretti Tiramisu Food

AMARETTO TIRAMISU FOR TWO

Steps:

• Whip the heavy cream in a bowl with a handheld electric mixer until it holds stiff peaks. Set in the fridge.
• In a large bowl, cream together the mascarpone, sugar, vanilla and 1 1/2 tablespoons amaretto, by hand, using a spatula or wooden spoon. Fold in the whipped cream and set aside.
• Add the coffee and remaining 1 1/2 tablespoons amaretto to a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Dip 2 of the ladyfinger halves in the coffee mixture and lay them in the bottom of a 4-ounce glass. Spoon some of the cream mixture over them, sprinkle with some cocoa powder and repeat with another layer of dipped cookie halves, cream and cocoa powder. Repeat the same process with the remaining ingredients in another glass, cover with some plastic wrap and pop them in the fridge to set for a few hours.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle the tiramisu with the broken amaretti cookies and a little extra cocoa powder.

AMARETTI TORTA

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 10-inch cake pan and line the bottom with parchment paper.
• Combine the 20 amaretti cookies and the chocolate in a food processor. Run the machine until the mixture is very finely minced. Set aside.
• Using an electric mixer and a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until pale yellow, about 2 minutes. Add the egg yolks 1 at a time, incorporating each yolk before adding the next. Once all the eggs are added continue to cream the mixture together until light and fluffy, about 4 more minutes. Add the orange liqueur. With the machine on low, add the flour and the chocolate amaretti mixture. Mix well after each addition.
• In medium bowl whip the egg whites using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form, about 3 minutes. Add 1/3 of the whipped egg whites into the cake mixture until well combined. Gently fold in the remaining whipped egg whites. Pour the batter into the prepared cake pan. Bake until a toothpick comes out clean, about 45 to 50 minutes.
• Let the cake cool in the pan on a wire rack for 10 minutes. Turn the cake out onto a platter and continue to cool to room temperature. Top with the orange marmalade in an even layer. Sprinkle the remaining crushed amaretti cookies over the top of the cake. Slice and serve.

AMARETTI TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Beat together yolks and 2 tablespoons sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until thick and pale, about 2 minutes. Beat in mascarpone until just combined.
• Beat whites with salt in another large bowl with cleaned beaters until they just hold soft peaks. Add remaining 3 tablespoons sugar, a little at a time, beating, then continue to beat until whites just hold stiff peaks.
• Beat cream in another bowl with cleaned beaters until it just holds stiff peaks. Gently but thoroughly fold cream into mascarpone mixture, then fold mixture into whites.
• Pour espresso into a shallow bowl. Dip half of amaretti (15 to 20) in espresso for about 20 seconds, turning to coat both sides and letting excess drip off. Arrange in 1 layer in an 8-inch square baking dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture evenly over amaretti. Make another layer in same manner with remaining amaretti (dipped in espresso) and mascarpone mixture. Chill at least 6 hours.

TIRAMISù WITH AMARETTI COOKIES

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks in a medium bowl to blend, then gradually add sugar, whisking constantly until mixture is thick, smooth, and pale yellow. Using a rubber spatula, gently fold in mascarpone, rum, and salt; set aside.
• Place espresso in a small bowl. Working in batches, gently mix and turn cookies in espresso 20 seconds to soak. Divide cookies among glasses and top each with 1/2 cup mascarpone mixture. Chill at least 1 hour.
• Dust tiramisù with cocoa powder just before serving.
• Do Ahead
• Tiramisù can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.

AMARETTO TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Beat together cream cheese and sugar in medium-size bowl until light and creamy, 3 to 4 minutes. Beat in amaretto and vanilla.
• Fold whipped topping into cream-cheese mixture.
• Arrange half of ladyfingers in dish just large enough to hold them in one layer, such as a 9 x 9-inch casserole dish. Sprinkle with half the coffee. Top with half the cream-cheese mixture, spreading smooth. Sprinkle with half the cocoa. Arrange the remaining ladyfingers over cocoa. Sprinkle with remaining coffee. Top with remaining cream-cheese mixture, smoothing the top. Sprinkle with remaining cocoa.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight. Sprinkle with confectioners' sugar and sliced almonds.

SUNSHINE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Use an electric whisk to beat the egg yolks with half the sugar until the mixture is pale and moussey - this will take 3-4 mins. Beat the mascarpone in a large mixing bowl to loosen, then beat in the double cream until just combined. Scrape in the mousse mixture and beat everything together until smooth and light.
• Clean the beaters, then whisk the egg whites in another bowl until stiff peaks hold on the end of the beaters. Tip in the remaining sugar and beat until glossy and stiff again. Use a big metal spoon to stir a third of this into the cream mixture, then gently fold in the rest.
• Get your serving dish or bowl ready, then put the Marsala in a shallow plate and dip in a few sponge fingers at a time so they are just soaked but not soggy. Layer half of the fingers evenly in your dish, then scatter over half the fruit. Top with half the cream mixture, then crumble over half the crunchy amaretti biscuits. Repeat the layers, but finish with the cream and save the other half of the biscuits. Cover and chill for a few hrs, or overnight.
• To serve, crumble over the remaining biscuits, then spoon into bowls.

SOPRANOS STYLE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Whisk mascarpone cheese, sugar, and amaretto liqueur together in a bowl until smooth.
• Beat cream in a glass or metal bowl until soft peaks form. Lift your beater or whisk straight up: whipped cream will form soft mounds rather than a sharp peak. Fold whipped cream into mascarpone mixture.
• Pour espresso into a bowl. Dip ladyfingers into espresso and arrange 12 dipped ladyfingers in an 8-inch square pan. Spread 1/2 the mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers. Grate 1 chocolate square over mascarpone layer. Repeat a second layer with remaining dipped ladyfingers, mascarpone mixture, and chocolate, respectively. Refrigerate tiramisu until set, at least 2 hours.
