Homemade Tiramisu from scratch

Eggs (white and yolk separately)

g Granulated sugar

Pastry flour

g Corn starch

Egg yolk

70 g Granulated sugar

Mascarpone

200 g Heavy Cream

Coffee (strong espresso to soak the ladyfingers in)

Cocoa powder (Unsweetened Dutch processed to decorate the top)

Heat oven to 200 C / 392°F

Beat 4 egg yolks with half of the sugar (50g) until pale and fluffy and sugar fully dissolves, ideally in a Stand mixer so it will get fully whipped

Using your Stand mixer make the meringue. Whip egg whites with the other half of the sugar, adding the sugar in a small amount at a time. Whip for about 5 minutes just until shiny stiff peaks.

While making the meringue, sift flour and corn starch into the egg yolk and fold carefully with Rubber spatula just until combined. The mixture will become thick, that is normal

When the meringue is ready, mix ¼ of it with flour egg yolk mixture to loosen it up then fold in the rest of the meringue very carefully using a rubber spatula

Get your piping bag with a round nozzle tip and pipe 20 equal sized finger shapes leaving enough space in between them.

Bake for 10 minutes. After baking, let them cool on Cooling rack

Start with ladyfingers

Whip egg yolk with sugar with the help of a hand whisk over a double boiler until sugar fully dissolves. It will take about 5 minutes but greatly depends on the size of your bowl as well as temperature of the mixture while over simmering water, it is recommended to do it slowly over low heat

Cool egg yolk sugar mixture to room temperature then carefully whip room temperature mascarpone with an Electric hand mixer. Do not over beat as it can get runny easily. Carefully fold it into the egg yolk mixture with a Rubber spatula

In a separate bowl whip very cold heavy cream starting slowly then increasing speed on your Electric hand mixer until stiff peaks (but do not over whip) and carefully with a help of a rubber spatula fold it into the mascarpone egg yolk mixture. At this point, the cream should be airy and fluffy and it will further set in the fridge

Continue with mascarpone cream

You can either make 6 small bowls of tiramisu or one or two larger ones. Soak lady fingers into freshly prepared espresso and place them next to each other on the bottom of the bowl.

Spread an even layer of cream on the ladyfingers then place another layer of coffee soaked ladyfinger on top then cream again. Smooth the top

Refrigerate tiramisu for a minimum of 4 hours to set

After tiramisu sets in the fridge, dust with cocoa powder

Store in the fridge for 2-3 days

This delightful Irish Cream Tiramisu features smooth and rich mascarpone custard layered with lady finger biscuits soaked in coffee with Bailey&#039;s Irish Cream and a dusting of cocoa powder on top!

Irish Cream Tiramisu

whipping cream, (divided)

white sugar

salt

vanilla extract

Mascarpone cheese

sugar ((confectioners sugar))

lady finger biscuits

coffee

Bailey's Irish Cream (*)

cocoa powder (to dust over the top)

prepare

Whisk together 1 1/4 cups of the whipping cream, the granulated sugar, and salt in a medium-sized saucepan.  Heat at medium until just under boiling and then remove from the heat.  In another small bowl, whisk the egg yolks until smooth.  Temper the egg yolks by slowly adding about 1 cup of the hot milk mixture while whisking well.  Then, add the tempered egg mixture back into the saucepan and heat again over medium heat while whisking constantly just until boiling and the mixture bubbles throughout and is slightly thickened.  Remove from the heat and add the vanilla and stir to combine.  Pour into a heat-safe bowl and let cool for a bit before refrigerating until chilled and set up more, at least 2 hours.

Once the custard has chilled, combine the mascarpone cheese and powdered sugar in another bowl.  Beat with a handheld mixer on high speed until incorporated.  Add the remaining 1 cup of whipping cream and beat on high speed until fluffy.  Fold in the chilled custard until fully incorporated.  Assemble the tiramisu immediately or refrigerate until ready to assemble.

To make the Mascarpone Custard:

assemble

Whisk together the cold coffee and Bailey&#39;s Irish Cream in a shallow bowl.  Quickly dip the ladyfingers into the coffee mixture (don&#39;t soak them) and immediately place them in the bottom of a 9X9-inch pan (or similar-sized pan) in one layer.  Top with half of the mascarpone custard and gently spread around with a spatula.  Next, add another layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers and the last of the mascarpone custard.  Smooth out the top.  Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.  Right before serving, dust the top with powdered sugar.  Slice or scoop and serve.  Enjoy!

To Assemble the Tiramisu:

Wow!!!
What a fantastic tiramisu recipe! The instructions were easy to follow, and exactly what I (as a less experienced baker) needed!

The Baileys in it added a tremendous boost in flavour and made this probably the best tiramisu I have ever had the pleasure of eating!

Thank you so much for the recipe. And keep up the good work! I look forward to more of your recipes in the future.
