Tiramisu Cheesecake Trifle Food

TIRAMISU TRIFLE

Steps:

• Arrange the cake pieces in the bottom of a large trifle dish, then drizzle over 20ml of the liqueur or madeira wine and set aside.
• For the coffee crémeux, tip the custard and coffee granules into a large pan set over a medium heat and bring to the boil, stirring continuously. Put the chocolate in a large heatproof bowl and, when the custard is boiling, pour it over, whisking until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth. Leave to cool for 5 mins until just warm, then whisk in the butter until well combined. Pour the crémeux over the cake layer in the dish and level with the back of a spoon. Chill for 1 hr until set.
• Mix the remaining coffee liqueur or madeira with the cooled coffee in a shallow bowl. Dip the sponge fingers in the mixture for 5 seconds on each side, arranging them in a single layer over the set crémeux, then vertically against the side of the trifle dish. Keep chilled while you prepare the tiramisu filling.
• Tip the egg yolks, caster sugar and marsala wine into a heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, ensuring the bowl doesn't touch the water, and beat with an electric whisk for 10 mins until pale and light. Put in the fridge to cool.
• Meanwhile, in a separate bowl, beat the mascarpone and double cream together to soft peaks using an electric whisk. Gently whisk in the cooled egg yolk mixture until the filling is smooth and lump-free. Spoon the tiramisu filling over the sponge fingers in the trifle dish and chill for at least 30 mins.
• Meanwhile, for the brown sugar cream, tip the double cream and brown sugar into a large bowl and beat with an electric whisk until the mixture holds soft peaks and can easily ripple off the spoon. Spoon dollops of the brown sugar cream over the tiramisu filling, then sift over the cocoa powder before serving. Will keep covered in the fridge for up to three days.

TIRAMISU CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Place a pan of water on the bottom of the oven.
• Crush the package of ladyfingers to fine crumbs. Mix the melted butter into the crumbs. Moisten with 2 tablespoons of the coffee liqueur. Press into an 8-inch springform pan.
• In a large bowl, mix cream cheese, mascarpone, and sugar until very smooth. Add 2 tablespoons coffee liqueur, and mix. Add the eggs and the flour; mix slowly just until smooth. Pour batter over crust in the springform pan.
• Place pan on middle rack of oven. Bake until just set, 40 to 45 minutes. Open oven door, and turn off the heat. Leave cake to cool in oven for 20 minutes. Remove from oven, and let it finish cooling, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate for at least 3 hours, or overnight.
• Grate semisweet chocolate over the top right before serving.

TIRAMISU CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Lightly spray a 9-inch springform pan with nonstick cooking spray and wrap the bottom in aluminum foil.
• Combine the espresso powder and rum in a medium heat-safe bowl; stir in the boiling water until the espresso is dissolved.
• One at a time, dip 20 of the ladyfingers quickly into the espresso mixture. Line the bottom of the prepared pan with them, pressing them down firmly to fit as they soften. Sprinkle with the cocoa powder; set aside.
• Add the ricotta, mascarpone and sugar to the bowl of a food processor and pulse until just combined. Add the eggs one at a time, pulsing after each addition to combine; do not overmix.
• Pour the mixture into the pan over the ladyfingers and place the pan on a baking sheet. Bake until the cheesecake is golden and puffed around the edges, 1 hour and 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes (the edges should be set and the center slightly jiggly). Let cool to room temperature.
• Unmold the cheesecake from the pan and dust with cocoa. Spread some mascarpone around the sides with an offset spatula. Cut the remaining ladyfingers in half and press them into the sides of the cake, curved-end up.

TIRAMISU CHEESECAKE

Steps:

• Line the base of a 23cm springform cake tin with baking parchment. Crush the biscuits as finely as possible in a food bag using a rolling pin, or in a food processor, and mix with the melted butter. Tip into the tin, pressing down to flatten and set aside in the fridge.
• For the chocolate layer, tip the chocolate, cream and Tia Maria into a bowl and melt over a pan of simmering water. Once melted, quickly stir together and pour over the biscuit base, then chill in the fridge for at least 3 hrs, or until set.
• When the chocolate layer is set, beat the cream cheese, double cream, vanilla, orange and sugar together, then spread and swirl the mix evenly over the chocolate layer. Put the cake back in the fridge for a couple of hours or overnight. Can be made up to two days in advance and kept covered in the fridge.
• To serve, remove from the fridge, sieve over the cocoa powder and sprinkle over the crushed coffee beans. Run a knife around the edge of the cheesecake and release from the tin and serve. For a neater finish, blowtorch the outside of the tin to release the sides.
