TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Whisk the egg yolks and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the whisk attachment on high speed for about 5 minutes, or until very thick and light yellow. Lower the speed to medium and add 1/4 cup rum, 1/4 cup espresso, and the mascarpone. Whisk until smooth.
• Combine the remaining 1/4 cup rum and 1 1/4 cups espresso in a shallow bowl. Dip 1 side of each ladyfinger in the espresso/rum mixture and line the bottom of a 9 by 12 by 2-inch dish. Pour half the espresso cream mixture evenly on top. Dip 1 side of the remaining ladyfingers in the espresso/rum mixture and place them in a second layer in the dish. Pour the rest of the espresso cream over the top. Smooth the top and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate overnight.
• Before serving, sprinkle the top with shaved chocolate and dust lightly with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.
• In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart. Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
• Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
• Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.
• Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

• Beat cream cheese with mixer until creamy. Gradually beat in milk. Add dry pudding mix; beat on low speed 2 min. Add 1/2 cup COOL WHIP; mix well. Spoon over brownies.
• Top with remaining COOL WHIP, berries and grated chocolate.

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.

TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In a mixer with the whip attachment, whip yolks and sugar until thick and pale in color (ribbon stage). Add mascarpone and whip until well incorporated. Pour water into a small bowl then pour powdered gelatin over it. Do not stir. Allow gelatin to absorb all of the water (about 15 minutes) then place the bowl on top of a small saucepan containing simmering water (creating a double boiler). Immediately turn off the heat and allow the gelatin to dissolve completely. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites to a soft peak, gradually add sugar, then slowly pour in dissolved gelatin. Whip to a stiff, glossy peak. Fold whites into mascarpone and yolk mixture then fold in whipped cream.
• In a separate bowl, combine espresso and kalhua. Soak 1 ladyfinger at a time in the espresso mixture. In an 8 by 10-inch pan, arrange soaked ladyfingers close together in neat rows until the bottom of the pan is completely covered. Pour 1/2 of the mousse over the ladyfingers and smooth with a rubber spatula. Sprinkle 1/2 of the chocolate shavings over mousse. Create another layer and chill until set.

TIRAMISU

• Butter a 12 by 16-inch baking tray. Line with parchment paper and brush again with butter.
• In a mixing bowl, whip the egg yolks with 1/4 cup sugar until ribbony and light in color. Reserve. In another mixing bowl, whip the egg whites to soft peaks. Slowly add the remaining 1/4 cup sugar and continue to whip to medium peaks. Sift the flour again. With a rubber spatula, fold half of the flour mixture into the yolk mixture. Fold in 1/2 of the egg white mixture. Then fold in the remaining 1/2 flour mixture. Lastly, fold in the remaining 1/2 egg white mixture. Pour the batter into prepared baking tray and with an offset spatula, carefully spreading the batter to fill the tray. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until done and golden in color.

Cover mold and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

BROWN'S TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F If you haven't already, take the cream cheese out of the fridge to warm up, and refrigerate the mixing bowl you'll be whipping the cream inches. No, not inches, inches. No, INCHES. Look food.com, I know I'm ending a sentence with a preposition, but that doesn't make it okay to auto-correct me like this. Fine, I give up. Refrigerate the bowl in which you will be whipping the cream.
• Mix the egg yolks with 1/3 cup sugar, and beat until pale and thickened.
• Mix the egg whites with 1/3 cup sugar, and beat until stiff.
• Fold the egg yolks into the egg whites. Fold in flour, 1/3 cup at a time.
• Grease and flour a 13x9 pan, cover the bottom with wax paper. Pour the batter into the pan and smooth out the top.
• Bake around 25 minutes, or until a toothpick comes out clean. Overbaking is not much of a problem, as it's going to be soaked in liquor before you eat it.
• Let cake cool for a bit, then dump cake on a rack to cool some more. Wash out the pan.
• When cake is cooled completely, cut in in half across its height, so that you have two layers like a sandwich.
• Mix together all the ingredients listed under "Fuel" and set aside.
• Beat the cream cheese and sugar together until fluffy.
• Add the vanilla, milk, and brandy to the cream cheese, mix until blended and smooth.
• In a separate bowl, beat the whipping cream until stiff.
• Fold the cream cheese into the whipping cream, and set aside.
• Grease the pan the sponge cake was baked in (I like to use peanut oil, but I've used canola or pam in the past, and it hasn't made much difference).
• Put the bottom half of the sponge cake back into the pan, cut side up.
• Pour half of the "Fuel" evenly over the sponge cake, try not to leave any dry spots. It should soak up very well.
• Spread half of the Cream Cheese Mix over the cake. Be careful, as the soggy cake is very delicate, and can easily mix in with the topping! Smooth it out as much as possible. A plastic disposable trowel is great for this, be sure to wash it after you bring it home from the hardware store, and never use it for plaster!
• Use a fine mesh sifter to generously dust the first layer with cocoa powder.
• Lay the top half of the sponge cake on top of the cocoa, cut side up, so that the "Fuel" can soak in through the sponge.
• Layer on the cream cheese mixture as you did before. Get the top layer as smooth and flat as you possibly can, it makes the presentation that much nicer.
• Dust with cocoa powder. A generous dusting hides whatever imperfections you couldn't smooth out.
• Cover the tiramisu, either with the pan's lid, or cling wrap. If you're using cling wrap, you may have to wipe the cocoa powder of the edges of the pan. FOR GOODNESS SAKE, BE CAREFUL! Don't spoil your beautiful presentation. You may want to use toothpicks to hold the cling wrap above the tiramisu, depending on the depth of your pan.
• Chill tiramisu for 6 hours.

LEMON TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Mix together the lemon juice, brandy and 2 oz of the sugar in a shallow bowl.
• Set aside so the sugar has time to dissolve.
• Get ready a 9-inch spring form pan; line the bottom with parchment paper.
• In a very clean bowl, using clean beaters whisk the egg whites until they form soft peaks, start on a slow, gradually on a higher speed.
• Whip the cream also to a soft peak.
• Beat together the remaining sugar, mascarpone, lemon curd, egg yolks and the lemon zest.
• Then you fold the cream in the mascarpone mixture, followed by the egg whites using a metal spoon.
• Stir the lemon/brandy mix and dip the fingers in, line the bottom of the dish with them, sprinkle some extra liquid over the biscuits, you will usually have enough.
• Spoon half of the mascarpone mix over the biscuits, dip remaining fingers and arrange on the top, sprinkle again with brandy lemon juice if you have some left, followed by the rest of the mascarpone.
• Level the top using a palette knife, cover and leave in the fridge overnight.
• To serve, if using, sprinkle the lemon/sugar mix over the top, remove from the tin (if necessary run a knife around the rim) place on a serving plate and cut in wedges.
