traditional tiramisu

Recipe video above. You will be amazed how silky rich and yet LIGHT this Tiramisu tastes! This is slightly adapted from this recipe by Vanessa Martin, a well regarded Australian-Italian chef. This is a traditional recipe made using raw eggs that are not cooked or tempered, and with only mascarpone - no cream! You just can&#x27;t achieve the same mouthfeel if you use normal cream. :) (Read in post or note about raw egg concerns)

Easy Tiramisu (Chef Recipe)

eggs (, yolks and whites separated)

(110 grams) caster sugar (superfine sugar)

tsp vanilla extract

black coffee (, hot and strong! (Note 2))

tbsp (or more!) Frangelico

Cocoa (, for dusting)

Beat yolks and sugar in stand mixer or electric beater on speed 6 to 7 for 10 minutes or until it changes from yellow to pale yellow (almost white), and is thick (see video for consistency).

Add vanilla and mascarpone, beat until just combined and smooth. Transfer mixture to a bowl, set aside.

Clean bowl and whisk. Add egg whites and beat until it&#x27;s stiff (3 minutes on speed 7, should be all white foam, see video!)

Add 1/2 the cream mixture into the egg whites. Gently fold through. When most incorporated, add the remaining cream mixture and fold through until just combined - don&#x27;t bash out all the air in the egg whites! (Note 4)

Mix coffee and liquor together. Quickly dip biscuits in and line the bottom of a 8”/20cm square dish. (See video or step photos above to see how I arrange them).

Spread over half the cream, then top with another layer of coffee dipped biscuits.

Spread with remaining cream.

Cover, refrigerate for at least 4 - 5 hours, preferably overnight

Dust with cocoa powder just before serving - either before you cut or after placing onto serving plates.

This Classic Italian Tiramisu is seriously one of the easiest desserts to make! It&#039;s picture perfect with a sweet mascarpone filling, espresso dipped lady fingers and all the cocoa powder on top!

Classic Italian Tiramisu

Dutch Processed cocoa powder,

espresso (optional to add a few tablespoons of dark rum)

vanilla extract

egg yolks, cold (I use pasteurized eggs)

white sugar

salt

tubs mascarpone cheese, chilled

heavy cream,

ladyfinger cookies

Whisk together the cocoa powder, espresso and vanilla in a bowl and set aside

In a mixer or using a hand mixer, beat the egg yolks and sugar until pale and thick, about 5 minutes. Add in the salt, mascarpone cheese and continue to whip until smooth. Add the chilled cream and continue to whip, until light, creamy, smooth and can hold a soft peak.

Dunk each ladyfinger in the espresso mixture to absorb the liquid and start to line a 7x11 oval baking dish with the cookies. Top the first layer of cookies with ½ of the whipped mascarpone mixture and use the back of a metal spoon to spread it into an even layer. Dust with cocoa powder. Repeat for another layer and then finish by dusting with cocoa powder on top. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at least 2 hours before serving.

Tiramisu Recipe - classic Italian coffee flavored dessert. Made of ladyfingers (savoiardi biscuits) dipped in coffee syrup, rich mascarpone custard, and whipped cream or whipped egg whites.  for this time I chose to make my tiramisu with whipped cream but you can make it with whipped egg whites (like the traditional tiramisu). Follow this easy recipe to learn how to make one of the best desserts in the world.

This oreo tiramisu has all of the flavours of a traditional tiramisu with a very nontraditional swap of ladyfingers for chocolate sandwich cookies. Oreos soak up the coffee so beautifully and give the tiramisu a deep chocolate flavour. They make the perfect swap if you can’t find ladyfingers or want an equally delicious twist on the classic!

Oreo Tiramisu

yolks (room temperature)

eggs (whole, room temperature)

sugar

tsp pure vanilla extract

coffee

mascarpone cheese (450 grams, slightly softened)

heavy cream (cold (whipping cream))

cocoa powder

Pour a few inches of water into a medium saucepan. Find a heat safe bowl that fits well on top of the pan without touching the bottom or the water. Bring the water in the saucepan to a simmer.

Combine yolks, eggs, sugar, vanilla, and coffee in the heat safe bowl. Whisk until combined.

Place the bowl on top of the saucepan and whisk. Continue whisking with a wire whisk until the mixture foams up and thickens considerably.

Remove from heat and let cool for 10 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and whisk it into the egg yolks and whisk until smooth. If it’s still lumpy you can use a blender to help make it smooth.

Whip the cream until medium-stiff peaks with a whisk or stand mixer. Be careful not to overwhip or it will become grainy.

Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture with a whisk until smooth.

Filling

Dip the oreos into the coffee and place in a single layer in a 8” by 11” oval dish or a similar sized dish. Break up pieces of oreos to make up the gaps.

Spread half of the filling on top of the oreos. Layer more coffee dipped oreos and spread the rest of the filling on top. Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.

Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder and sprinkle with crumbled reserved oreos.

To serve, slice or scoop the cake onto plates and serve!

Fill a medium size saucepan with water to a depth of 2 inches. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. Place the egg yolks and sugar in a heatproof bowl large enough to fit atop the saucepan. Beat the mixture using a hand mixer on medium speed until the mixture is thick and pale yellow, about 4 minutes. Slowly drizzle in ¼ cup of the Marsala wine, beating on low speed until incorporated, about 2 minutes. Place the bowl over the simmering water in the saucepan. Continue to beat the mixture on low speed for 5–8 minutes, until the mixture thickens, becomes glossy, and reaches about 150°F (65°C). Remove from heat, and let the mixture cool to 115°F (46°C), about 5 minutes.

Add the mascarpone cheese to the cooled yolk mixture. Beat on low speed for about 3 minutes, or until smooth and fully combined. Let cool to room temperature, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Beat the cold heavy cream and vanilla bean paste in a chilled bowl on medium speed until stiff peaks form, 3–5 minutes. Gently fold 2½ cups of the whipped cream into the cooled mascarpone mixture until smooth and creamy. (Set aside the remaining 1½ cups whipped cream in the refrigerator until ready to use.)

Stir together the brewed espresso and remaining ½ cup Marsala wine in a bowl. Dip each ladyfinger into the mixture for 2 seconds per side, working quickly to avoid oversoaking. Arrange 2 rows of soaked ladyfingers in the bottom of a square 9-inch springform pan, 8 ladyfingers per row. Spread one-third of the mascarpone filling evenly over the ladyfingers. Repeat the layering 2 times for a total of 3 layers. Smooth the top with an offset spatula.

Cover the tiramisu loosely with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 8 hours or up to 12 hours, until the flavors meld and the texture sets.

Release the springform ring from the pan, and remove the springform base. Transfer the reserved 1½ cups whipped cream to a piping bag fitted with a large plain piping tip. Starting at the top left corner of the tiramisu, squeeze the bag with even pressure, allowing a dollop of cream to form on the surface of the tiramisu. Once the desired dollop size has been made, stop squeezing, and lift the bag straight up to create a clean break. Repeat this process across the middle and bottom rows, until the entire tiramisu is covered. (There will be around 8–13 rows, but the amount can vary depending on the dollop size.)

Using a coarse grater, grate the chocolate bar evenly over the tiramisu to create a thin layer. Using a fine mesh strainer, dust the top with the espresso powder.

Cut the tiramisu into even squares using a sharp knife, wiping the knife clean between cuts for neat slices. Serve.

Tiramisu leftovers can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days. To freeze, remove all toppings, and tightly wrap the tiramisu in a double layer of plastic wrap, followed by aluminum foil. Store in the freezer for up to 3 months. To thaw, place the frozen tiramisu in the refrigerator for 6–12 hours (depending on the size), and add fresh whipped cream, grated chocolate, and espresso powder just before serving.
