RICH TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Mix coffee, milk, 2 tablespoons sugar, and 2 tablespoons rum together in a bowl. Soak lady fingers in the coffee mixture. Layer 1/2 of the soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.
• Beat egg yolks and 2 tablespoons sugar together in a bowl; add mascarpone cheese and 1 tablespoon of rum and mix well.
• Beat egg whites in a bowl using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form; fold into mascarpone cheese mixture. Spread 1/2 of mixture over soaked lady fingers; cover with second 1/2 of soaked lady fingers and cover evenly with remaining mascarpone cheese mixture. Sprinkle top with cocoa powder. Refrigerate at least 3 hours.

RICH AND CREAMY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Separate eggs yolks from egg whites very carefully using your fingers.
• Combine egg yolks and water in heavy saucepan. Cook over very low heat, whisking constantly, about 15 minutes. (Use a cooking thermometer to confirm that it reaches 160 degrees). Then take the egg yolk mixture and put in freezer to help with the cooling process.
• Stir mascarpone cheese into the cooled egg yolks.
• Combine 4 egg whites, sugar and salt in top of double boiler over hot water. Cook, over very low heat, beating with hand-held mixer on medium speed. You can also whisk egg whites using your strong muscles for about 15- 20 minutes or until your arms feel like they are going to fall off or until your whites hold firm peaks and temperature reaches 160 degrees. (Your egg whites should be firm enough that you could safely hold the egg white bowl upside down over another persons head without them getting egg in their hair)
• Fold in about 1/3 of the egg whites into egg yolk mixture carefully. Then carefully fold in remaining egg whites to keep them fluffy.
• In a shallow bowl pour the strong brewed coffee and any liquor as desired. Dip the lady fingers for a quick coat on both sides into the strong coffee bath. (Don't leave lady fingers in the coffee mixture more than a couple of seconds or they will turn into a soggy mess.)
• Assembly: In your beautiful little individual glass containers dust a little of your powdered cocoa with a sieve. Next add 1-2 pieces of the coffee soaked lady fingers at the bottom of the glass. Next place a few spoonfuls of the yummy mascarpone mixture on top of the lady fingers and then one more dusting of cocoa powder. Repeat this layering process one more time ending with a light dusting of cocoa powder on the top and garnish with some plain non-coffee soaked lady fingers. Refrigerate overnight or up to 2 days.
• Serve rich and creamy tiramisu well chilled as a lovely ending to any meal.

RICH AND CREAMY TIRAMISU RECIPE

Steps:

• For the Coffee Syrup: In a deep bowl, whisk together cocoa powder, hot espresso, crème de cacao, Cardamaro, and vanilla extract until homogeneous. Set aside.
• For the Mascarpone Filling: Fill a 2- or 3-quart saucier with a few inches of water; bring to a boil, then lower heat and adjust to maintain a steady supply of steam. Combine eggs, sugar, and salt in the bowl of a stand mixer, using a flexible spatula to stir. Place over the steaming pot (if the bowl touches the bottom, crumple a strip of foil into a ring to act as a booster seat) and cook, stirring and scraping constantly, until warmed to 160°F (71°C), about 5 minutes. This should not take significantly longer; major delays simply indicate insufficient heat/lack of steam.
• Transfer to a stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment. Whip on high speed until eggs are foamy, more than quadrupled in size, and thick enough to briefly mound up like soft-serve ice cream when dropped from the whisk, between 5 and 10 minutes depending on the horsepower of your mixer. Reduce speed to medium and begin adding mascarpone roughly 1/4 cup at a time; no need to wait between additions. Once mascarpone is incorporated, pause to scrape bowl with a flexible spatula, then resume whipping on medium-high until mixture is homogeneous and thick, about 5 to 10 seconds more. Don't fret over small flecks of mascarpone, since they will smooth out on their own over time.
• To Assemble: Working with one at a time, dunk each ladyfinger in coffee syrup with a fork, giving it a second or two to absorb the liquid, then place in the bottom of a 7- by 11-inch baking dish. Top with about half the mascarpone filling, spread into an even layer, and dust lightly with cocoa powder. Repeat with remaining ladyfingers until syrup is gone, then top with remaining mascarpone filling and spread smooth.
• To Decorate: Lay a long piece of butcher's twine on top of the smooth filling, curling it into swoops and swirls to create whatever sort of design you like, and dust generously with additional cocoa powder. Starting from the end of your design (to prevent tangling), carefully peel up twine and discard. (This twine step is optional; if you want, you can simply dust the top with cocoa powder.) Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 1 hour. Serve with a large spoon or angled spatula. Tiramisu can be refrigerated for up to 10 days.

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.

EASY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Pour coffee into a pie dish. Combine eggs, sugar, and Marsala in a large metal bowl set on top of (but not in) a pot of simmering water. Beat with a hand mixer or whisk until mixture doubles in volume and reaches 160°F on a thermometer, 7 to 10 minutes.
• Remove bowl from heat and let cool slightly. Meanwhile, in another bowl, whisk cream to form peaks. Gently whisk mascarpone into egg mixture, then fold in whipped cream.
• Working one at a time, dip half of ladyfingers in coffee, about 1 second per side, and arrange in the bottom of a 9-by-9-inch baking dish; fit them snugly side by side to line dish. Evenly spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers. Dip remaining half of ladyfingers in coffee and repeat layering with cookies and mascarpone mixture.
• Sift a layer of cocoa over top so it infuses cream. Wrap dish with plastic and refrigerate at least 9 hours and up to 1 day. To serve, sift another layer of cocoa over top and cut into squares.

EASY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Place a rack in the center of the oven and preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Lightly mist a 13- by 9-inch baking pan with vegetable oil spray.
• Set the pan aside.
• Place the cake mix, water, oil, eggs, and vanilla in a large mixing bowl.
• Blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 minute.
• Stop the machine and scrape down the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat 2 minutes more, scraping the sides down again, if needed.
• The batter should look thick and well blended.
• Pour the batter into the prepared pan, smoothing it out with the rubber spatula.
• Place the pan in the oven.
• Bake the cake until it is golden brown and springs back when lightly pressed with your finger, 32 to 35 minutes.
• Remove the pan from the oven and place it on a wire rack to cool.
• Meanwhile, prepare the syrup.
• Place the hot water, coffee powder, and sugar in a small bowl and stir to combine until the coffee and sugar dissolve.
• Stir in the coffee liqueur.
• Poke holes in the cake with a chopstick or drinking straw and spoon the syrup over the cake so that the syrup can seep down into the holes.
• Set the cake aside.
• Prepare the topping.
• Place the yogurt, cream cheese, and confectioners' sugar in a large mixing bowl and blend with an electric mixer on low speed for 1 to 2 minutes.
• The mixture should look well combined and thick.
• Spread the topping over the syrup-soaked cake, using the rubber spatula to spread the topping out to the edges of the cake.
• No more than an hour before serving, sift the cocoa powder over the topping so that it covers the top of the cake.
• Slice the cake into squares and serve.
• Store this cake, covered in aluminum foil, in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

BEST EVER TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Put the double cream, mascarpone, marsala and golden caster sugar in a large bowl.
• Whisk until the cream and mascarpone have completely combined and have the consistency of thickly whipped cream.
• Pour the coffee into a shallow dish. Dip in a few of the sponge fingers at a time, turning for a few seconds until they are nicely soaked, but not soggy. Layer these in a dish until you've used half the sponge fingers, then spread over half of the creamy mixture.
• Using the coarse side of the grater, grate over most of the dark chocolate. Then repeat the layers (you should use up all the coffee), finishing with the creamy layer.
• Cover and chill for a few hours or overnight. Will keep in the fridge for up to two days.
• To serve, dust with the cocoa powder and grate over the remainder of the chocolate.
