Easy Tiramisu Recipe

egg yolks (room temperature)

sugar

mascarpone cheese (room temperature)

heavy whipping cream (cold (divided))

ladyfinger cookies

espresso (cooled)

Meyers dark rum

semi-sweet chocolate bar for curls (optional)

In a medium glass mixing bowl, whisk egg yolks until smooth. Add granulated sugar and continue whisking until combined.

Bring a pot of water to a simmer and place the bowl with egg yolks/sugar over the steam. Whisk constantly while heating until the mixture is warm, thick, and light yellow. Most of the sugar should be dissolved (rub a bit of the mixture between your fingers to feel for granules).

Allow the egg mixture to cool for a few moments. Add 2 tablespoons of rum and the mascarpone cheese to the egg mixture. Beat with a hand beater until the mixture is smooth.

In the cold bowl of a standing mixer, add 2 cups of heavy whipping cream. Beat with a whisk attachment until stiff peaks form (do not overwhisk.)

Gently fold the whipped cream into the egg/mascarpone mixture.

Add 1/4 cup of Meyers rum to the espresso and stir to combine.

Dip one ladyfinger into the espresso, turning it to quickly cover each side of the

cookie. Place the ladyfinger into a 9x13 baking dish. Continue dipping cookies and placing them to cover the bottom of the dish.

Spread ½ of the cream mixture over the layer of ladyfingers.

Top with a second layer of dipped ladyfingers.

Spread the remaining cream mixture and smooth the top with an offset spatula.

Cover with plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator overnight.

Whip remaining 1 cup of heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Transfer whipped cream to a piping bag fit with Tip #1M.

Shake unsweetened cocoa powder through a sieve to generously cover the top of the tiramisu.

Score into 12 sections. Pipe 12 dollops of whipped cream, one in the center of each piece.

Sprinkle with ladyfinger cookie crumbs and chocolate curls, if desired.

Serve or keep chilled until ready to serve.

This Individual Italian Tiramisu is not to be missed. It&#039;s the same one we serve at the restaurant and I have made thousands of these since I put them in the dessert line. It makes an elegant presentation, it&#039;s extravagant and beautiful but most important you&#039;ll savor every bite of the light as air filling and the intense coffee rum sponge.

Individual Italian Tiramisu

eggs,

+ 1T cake flour (100 grams)

+2 T water

coffee espresso

Meyer's Dark Rum, preferred

gelatin

water

heavy cream

sugar (200 grams)

Tahitian vanilla

sugar (30 grams)

Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper and spray the paper but not the sides of the pan.

With the mixer fitted with the whisk attachment, beat the yolks and 1/3 cup (65grams)sugar in a mixing  bowl until very, very light in color (almost white) and very thick.  This took about 8 minutes in my Breville. Other mixers may take more or less time.  Remove to a large bowl.

In a clean mixing bowl with a clean  whisk attachment beat the egg whites and 1/3 cup (65 grams) sugar together until soft peaks form.  Beat to medium peaks.  This took about 4 minutes in my mixer.

Sift the cake flour over the yolk mixture, scoop the whites over the flour and fold everything together.

Spread evenly in the prepared pan and bake 13 to 15 minutes.  This is a little longer than normal, but the sponge should be a bit dry.

This may be made several months ahead, wrapped well and frozen.  Thaw at room temperature to use.

Sponge Cake

Combine all of the ingredients, stirring well.

Brush the sponge with the soak, using all of it.  Some will go through to the bottom of the sponge and that is fine.

Using a round cutter the size of the ring or glass, cut rounds from the sponge.  If your ring or glass is about 2&quot; as was mine, cut very close together (see photo) to ensure  you have enough.  You will need 2 rounds per tiramisu.

Coffee Rum Soak

Make sure the mascarpone is room temperature before starting.

Fit the mixer with the whisk attachment.  Beat the cream until fairly stiff.  Remove to another bowl.

Without cleaning the bowl or beater, add the powdered sugar, egg yolks and vanilla. Beat until very, very light and fluffy – about 7 to 10 minutes.

Add the gelatin to the water in a very small bowl and stir to combine completely.

Add the room temperature mascarpone in thirds on low.  Combine completely.

Heat the gelatin in the microwave just until liquified.  Do not let it get really hot.  Add it to the mixer and beat it in until it is incorporated.

Fold in the whipped cream

Mascarpone Filling

Place one soaked round soaked side up in each container.

If using the size ring I did, fill with about 1/2 cup of mascarpone filling.  A #8 disher/scooper does a good job. Make sure the disher is leveled off.  For other sizes, you want about twice the filling as the soaked round - see the photo.

Place another round on top, soaked side down.   If using glasses, refrigerate the tiramisu.  If using rings, freeze them.

They will keep, well covered, in the freezer for a couple of months at this point.

Make the chocolate curls. Place a piece of parchment or waxed paper on the table.  Use a piece of chocolate that is about 1/3&quot; or more thick.  Using a vegetable peeler, &quot;peel&quot; the chocolate over the paper.  Refrigerate.

To release from the rings, place a tiramisu on the table and go around it with a blow dryer.  Push it out of the ring and place it on a parchment covered sheet pan.  Place back in the freezer.  If using glasses, skip this part and go to the next instruction.

In any case if they are in the rings, they should be frozen before proceeding.

Whip the cream and powdered sugar to fairly stiff peaks.  Place in a piping bag fitted with a #4 or #5 open star tip.  Pipe around the edge and in the middle of the tiramisus.

Decorate with the chocolate curls.  Refrigerate until serving.  These may be finished the day before if desired.

These will keep for several days in the refrigerator is covered.
