Beer Tiramisu Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the mascarpone with the vanilla and 75ml of beer until everything is thoroughly mixed together. Whisk the cream with the icing sugar until smooth, then fold in the mascarpone mix.
• Pour the remaining beer into a bowl (sweeten with more icing sugar if you like). Take one sponge finger at a time and dip it in to the beer. Set aside and continue with the remaining biscuits.
• Line four serving glasses with four sponge fingers, breaking them in half if you need to. Spoon the mascarpone mix in until you reach the top of the glass. Refrigerate overnight to allow the flavours to infuse.
• Remove the beeramisu from the fridge. Grate a little chocolate over the top of each one and dust with sifted cocoa powder to serve.

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over high heat. Add 1 1/2 bottles root beer and bring to a boil. Cook until syrupy and reduced to about 1/2 cup, 7 to 8 minutes. Cool completely, then cover and refrigerate.
• Combine the mascarpone and 1 1/4 cups confectioners' sugar in a mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Beat on medium just until smooth and light (do not overbeat). In another bowl, whip the cream and vanilla with the remaining 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar until it holds soft peaks. Fold about 1/4 of the cream into the mascarpone to lighten it, then fold in the remaining cream.
• Pour the remaining 1 1/2 bottles root beer into an 8-inch square baking dish or other container for soaking the ladyfingers. Working with a few ladyfingers at a time, dip briefly in the root beer (just a few seconds to lightly saturate; don't oversoak) and line the bottom of a trifle dish. Spread a quarter of the mascarpone mixture in an even layer over top. Sprinkle with a quarter of the crushed root beer barrels. Repeat with 2 more layers each of soaked ladyfingers, mascarpone and crushed root beer barrels. Make 1 final layer of soaked ladyfingers and a smooth layer of mascarpone on the top. Reserve the remaining crushed root beer barrels. Cover and refrigerate the tiramisu until well chilled, about 4 hours.
• When ready to serve, sprinkle the top of the tiramisu with the remaining crushed root beer barrels and drizzle with some root beer reduction. Scoop out portions into serving dishes and drizzle with the remaining root beer reduction.

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.
