Tiramisù Fit Food

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.

TIRAMISU II

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form.
• Whisk mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth.
• In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and drizzle with coffee mixture.
• Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a 7x11 inch dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat layers and sprinkle with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.

TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Put the egg yolks and sugar in a large bowl.
• Beat with electric mixers until the mixture goes pale and thick.
• Add mascarpone and beat until combined.
• It does not matter if it is marbled slightly.
• Whip the cream until stiff peaks hold, and fold gently into the egg mixture.
• I use a spatula, but you could use a metal spoon.
• Do not beat!
• Beat the egg whites to soft peaks in a perfectly clean metal bowl.
• If there is any grease, they won't whip properly.
• Make sure you rinse and dry your beaters well.
• Fold the whites into the cream.
• It is very important to retain as much air as possible.
• For serving you can use a big dish or individual glasses.
• If using a big dish: Put the coffee and liquer in a bowl.
• Dip biscuits in coffee one at a time.
• Drain well.
• Layer in your dish, covering the whole bottom.
• Place half of the mascarpone mix on top and spread out.
• Repeat with remaining biscuits and mascarpone, finishing with a creamy layer.
• Smooth surface.
• Dust with cocoa.
• Refrigerate for at least 2 hours, but it works quite well if you leave for up to 24 hours.
• If using glasses: Break the biscuits up into pieces that will fit your glasses and do the same soaking and layering as before.

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.
