Description
For those who prefer not to use raw eggs, you can easily manage with just mascarpone cheese. 250 grams of cheese may be insufficient for some, depending on the size of the dishes you use. I prepared it in small bowls. I brewed the coffee in a Turkish coffee pot, which yields a richer and more intense flavor. Ladyfingers (savoiardi) can be found at common grocery stores, or you can substitute them with a light sponge cake that will soak up the coffee well. It’s very delicious to add pistachios—sprinkle crushed pistachios on each layer of the tiramisu. The chocolate should be very firm to make grating easy. You can also sprinkle with white chocolate, garnished with shavings of dark chocolate. Just place it in the refrigerator for 20 minutes before use. Additionally, you can top it with a few coffee beans dipped in chocolate beforehand. Ideally, let the dessert rest for at least a couple of hours (even better overnight) - this will make the tiramisu much creamier.
Ingredients
- Chicken Egg - 2 pieces
- Mascarpone Cheese Unagrande - 8.8 oz
- Savoiardi Cookies - 30 pieces
- Powdered Sugar - 2.6 oz
- Instant coffee - 7 fl oz
- Coffee Liqueur - 4 spoons
- Cocoa Powder - 2.8 oz
Step by Step guide
Step 1
Place the mascarpone in a wide bowl and vigorously beat it with a spatula or whisk until smooth — the consistency of the cheese should become almost as creamy as that of heavy cream or thick sour cream.
Step 2
Separate the egg whites from the yolks. In one bowl, whisk the yolks and powdered sugar until pale, then gradually add this mixture to the mascarpone, whisking everything together. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites, and then gently fold them into the yolk and mascarpone mixture one spoonful at a time.
Step 3
Combine the chilled strong coffee with four tablespoons of rum in a wide plate or a shallow bowl — the container should be deep enough to comfortably dip the cookies in whole.
Step 4
Carefully dip a third or half of the ladyfingers in the mixture of coffee and rum, depending on the width of the dish in which you plan to serve the dessert. If the dish is not too wide, you can make the tiramisu three layers thick, using ten ladyfingers per layer.
Step 5
Layer the soaked cookies at the bottom of the dish, then pour one third of the mascarpone cream on top. Dip the second batch of cookies in the coffee mixture and place them tightly over the cream. Add a second layer of mascarpone cream on top. Finally, layer the remaining soaked cookies.
Step 6
Pour the remaining cream over the top layer of the ladyfingers and gently tap the sides of the mold with a spatula to level the layers and help the cookies soak in the cream. Place the mold in the refrigerator for at least three hours, preferably overnight.
Step 7
Before serving, dust the finished dessert with cocoa powder — it's best to use a fine sieve for this purpose to ensure there are no clumps on the surface and the layer is even.
Step 8
Using a sharp knife, carefully cut the tiramisu into portions and arrange them on plates. Serve the dessert immediately, before the cream warms to room temperature and begins to melt.
