Alessis Tiramisu Recipes

Steps:

• Zabaglione Cream: In the top part of a double boiler, beat eggs and sugar together until the mixture is pale yellow in color.
• In the bottom part of the double boiler, bring water to a boil then reduce heat to simmer.
• Place egg yolk mixture over water and gradually add Marsala, beating continously.
• Scrape bottom and sides of pan occasionally and cook 6 to 10 minutes or until soft mounds can be formed.
• Transfer to bowl, cover and refrigerate 30 minutes.
• Whip cream with 2 Tbsp.
• sugar until soft peaks form.
• Fold in Mascarpone and Zabaglione and mix until well blended.
• Cover and refrigerate 1 hour.
• In a separate bowl, mix espresso, 2 Tbsp.
• sugar, Brandy and vanilla.
• Arrange cookies on the bottom of a 9" by 13" pan.
• Carefully spoon about 1 Tbsp.
• of the coffee mixture over each cookie so they are well saturated but not falling apart.
• Spoon 1/2 cheese mixture over cookies and sprinkle with 1 Tbsp.
• cocoa.
• Repeat one more time ending with cocoa.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 5 hours or overnight so that cookies can soften as they absorb moisture.
• Garnish and serve.

Steps:

• Combine egg yolks and sugar in a bowl and beat with an electric mixer until light and creamy. Add mascarpone cheese and 2 tablespoons amaretto. Beat well.
• Beat egg whites in a glass, metal, or ceramic bowl with clean beaters until stiff peaks form. Fold beaten egg whites into the mascarpone mixture.
• Pour espresso and remaining 2 tablespoons amaretto into a shallow dish. Stir well. Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture and line the bottom of an 8-inch glass dish.
• Once the bottom of the dish is covered in an even layer of espresso-soaked ladyfingers, top with 1/2 the mascarpone mixture. Repeat with another ladyfinger layer, followed by the remaining mascarpone mixture. Chill in the refrigerator for about 4 hours.
• Dust with cocoa powder before serving.

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, whip together egg yolks and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until very pale yellow and about tripled in volume. A slight ribbon should fall from the beaters (or whisk attachment) when lifted from the bowl. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, wiping out the medium bowl used to whip the yolks and set aside.
• In the medium bowl, whip cream and remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until it creates soft-medium peaks. Add mascarpone and continue to whip until it creates a soft, spreadable mixture with medium peaks. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the sweetened egg yolks until combined.
• Combine espresso and rum in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Using a sifter, dust the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish (an 8x8-inch dish, or a 9-inch round cake pan would also work here) with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
• Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture -- they are quite porous and will fall apart if left in the liquid too long -- and place them rounded side up at the bottom of the baking dish. Repeat, using half the ladyfingers, until you've got an even layer, breaking the ladyfingers in half as needed to fill in any obvious gaps (a little space in between is O.K.). Spread half the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers in one even layer. Repeat with remaining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
• Dust top layer with remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder. Top with shaved or finely grated chocolate, if desired.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (if you can wait 24 hours, all the better) before slicing or scooping to serve.
