Summer Berry Tiramisu Food

10 MINUTE BERRY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• First, make a simple syrup by combining the water and sugar in a medium saucepan. Once the sugar had dissolved turn off the heat and add in all of the berries. Stir the berries with the syrup to form a berry infused simple syrup.
• Strain the berries from the syrup and set aside. Now it's a good time to add in the cassis to the berry syrup.
• In a large bowl using a hand mixer or large whisk, beat the whipping cream, sugar, and vanilla until soft peaks form.
• Add in the mascarpone cheese and continue to whip to stiff peaks.
• Dip ladyfingers in the berry simple syrup liquid and place in an 8×8 pan to make the first layer - you can fit about 7 cookies in each layer. Don't let them soak as they will fall apart, just a quick dunk in the syrup is enough.
• Spread half of the whipped cream mixture on top of the first layer of ladyfingers then top with a layer of the soaked berries. Repeat process with the second layer of ladyfingers, cream mixture, and berries.
• Dust the top of tiramisu with powdered sugar and sprinkle over some toasted slivered almonds.
• Refrigerate for about 2-4 hours (it gets even better in the fridge and is a perfect make-ahead dessert).
• Cover and store in the fridge for up to 1 day.

MIXED BERRY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Place berries in a large bowl. Mix 1/3 cup sugar, orange zest and orange juice; toss gently with berries. Refrigerate, covered, 45 minutes., Beat cream until soft peaks form. In another bowl, mix mascarpone cheese, vanilla and remaining sugar. Fold in whipped cream, a third at a time., Drain berries over a shallow bowl, reserving juices. Dip ladyfingers in reserved juices, allowing excess to drip off; arrange in a single layer on bottom of a 13x9-in. dish. Layer with half the berries and half the mascarpone mixture; repeat layers, starting with ladyfingers., Refrigerate, covered, overnight. If desired, top with additional berries before serving.

MIXED-BERRY TIRAMISù WITH LIME CURD

Steps:

• For berries:
• Combine blueberries, raspberries, blackberries, powdered sugar, and 1/2 cup water in large saucepan. Bring to simmer, stirring until sugar dissolves. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until berries are soft but still intact, stirring occasionally, about 8 minutes. Transfer mixture to large bowl; stir in lime juice. Cool to room temperature. Stir strawberries into berry mixture. Chill until cold, about 4 hours. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep chilled.

• Combine 1/3 cup water, 1/3 cup sugar, and lime peel strips in small saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves. Pour syrup into bowl. Cool to room temperature; discard lime peel.

• For mascarpone topping:
• Combine mascarpone and cream in large bowl. Using electric mixer, beat until smooth and slightly thickened (do not overbeat or mixture may curdle). Add Lime Curd; beat just until blended.

SUMMER BERRY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• NOTE: Sponge cake base - I normally make a sponge in the springform tin. I then cut it in half height wise (depending on how high it rises) and use half for this recipe (and freeze the other half).
• Grease springform pan lightly and place sponge in the bottom.
• Lightly soak with half to two-thirds of the Kahlua (I use a brush).
• Beat together mascarpone, icing sugar, cream & the remaining Kahlua. Smooth over the top of the sponge.
• Cover and chill until set (approx 4-8 hours).
• Top evenly with the berries & put back in the fridge so everything is kept cool.
• Dissolve gelatin in water as per pack instructions, then set aside.
• In a pot slowly warm the fruit puree and add the gelatin. Stir until totally dissolved, then leave to cool (you can speed this up by putting it in the fridge, but be careful - you don't want it to set).
• Top the sponge cake/cheese mixture with the puree mixture and refrigerate again until set and stable (approx 2 hours).
• Remove from fridge 15 minutes before serving, then gently remove the springform pan outer (you may need to gently run a knife around the edges).
• Serve with garnish & accompaniment of your choice.

BERRY TIRAMISU

Steps:

• 1. At least 8 hours before serving the tiramisù, combine the blueberries, granulated sugar, and lemon juice in a heavy-bottomed, nonreactive medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally to dissolve the sugar. Reduce the heat to medium and simmer, uncovered, until the berries give off their juices, about 5 minutes. Add the raspberries and cook until they are heated through but still hold their shape, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• 2. Arrange half of the ladyfingers in a 9 x 13-inch baking dish, trimming them as necessary to fit. Spoon half of the hot berry sauce evenly over the ladyfingers. Top with the remaining ladyfingers, then the remaining sauce. Let stand until cooled, about 30 minutes.
• 3. Combine the mascarpone and confectioner's sugar in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer on low speed, gradually beat in the heavy cream. Spread the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate until chilled, at least 4 hours. (The tiramisù can be made and refrigerated up to 1 day ahead.) Serve chilled.
