TIRAMISU - OLIVE GARDEN

Steps:

• Cut across the middle of the sponge cake to form two disks, about 1"-1-1/2" thick, each.
• Blend the coffee or espresso and liqueur together.
• Sprinkle the bottom half of the cake with the coffee liqueur blend, enough to flavor it strongly, but don't saturate the cake so much that it will collapse.
• Mix the cream cheese or mascarpone with the sugar and beat the cheese until the sugar is completely dissolved and the cheese is light and spreadable.
• Spread the bottom half off the cake with half of the creamy cheese, in a fairly thick layer.
• Set the second half of the cake on the bottom half and repeat the process ~ sprinkle the coffee/liqueur blend and spread with the remaining cream cheese.
• Put the cocoa powder into a wire strainer and coat the top layer of cream cheese completely with cocoa.
• Refrigerate the cake for at least two hours before cutting and serving.

OLIVE GARDEN® TIRAMISU RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Fill a medium saucepan halfway with water and bring it to a boil over medium/high heat, then reduce heat so that the water is simmering. Whisk egg yolks, milk and sugar together in a medium metal bowl, then place the bowl on top of the saucepan (you can also use a double boiler for this step). Stir the mixture often for ten minutes. After the sugar dissolves the mixture should begin to thicken and turn light yellow. Remove it from the heat to cool. Use an electric mixer to combine mascarpone, cream cheese and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix until mostly creamy, but with a few small chunks remaining. Add egg yolk mixture to the cheese mixture and mix just until well-combined. Combine espresso and Kahlua in a small bowl. Pour this mixture onto a dinner plate. One-by-one touch the bottom of each lady finger in the espresso. The lady finger will quickly soak up the espresso/Kahlua mixture, but you don't want the entire lady finger soaked -- just a dab will do ya. The top half of each lady finger should still be dry. Arrange the soaked lady fingers side-by-side on the bottom of an 8x8-inch serving dish or baking pan. Spoon about half of the cheese mixture over the lady fingers, then add another layer of soaked lady fingers on top of the cheese mixture. Spoon the remaining cheese mixture over the second layer of lady fingers and spread it evenly. Put two teaspoons of cocoa powder in a tight-mesh strainer and gently tap the side of the strainer to add an even dusting of cocoa powder over the top of the dessert. Cover and chill for several hours. To serve, slice the dessert twice across and down creating 9 even portions (the first serving is always the hardest to get out).

OLIVE GARDEN PINEAPPLE TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Whisk egg yolks and 4 tbsp sugar together in a mixing bowl. When the color turns clear, add mascarpone cheese and stir until consistency is smooth.
• Remove skin from pineapple with a large knife. Cut in half and remove core. Cut a 1 inch slice from the bottom. Place in a food processor with 2 tbsp sugar. Pulse until fruit is finely chopped and has released juice. Drain contents into a strainer and preserve juice. Discard chopped pineapple in strainer. Cut remaining pineapple into 1 inch slices.
• Roll 10 ladyfingers in pineapple juice. Do not allow them to sit in the liquid. Ladyfingers should be still firm. Place a layer of lady fingers in a round mold. Cover lady fingers with slices of pineapple. Spoon 1 tsp of juice over pineapple layer. Add a thick layer of mascarpone cream. Repeat process.
• Garnish by alternating ladyfingers, remaining pineapple slices, sliced strawberries and wild berries across the top of the tiramisu. Refrigerate for a minimum of 1 hour before serving.
