Chocolate Zabaglione Tiramisu Recipes

Steps:

• Add cream and chocolate to a heavy small saucepan. Cook over low heat, stirring often, until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth. Set aside and keep warm.
• Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, Marsala, and salt in a large glass bowl until blended. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, but do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water. Whisk the egg mixture over the simmering water until it is thick and creamy, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Using a large rubber spatula, fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture.
• Divide the strawberries among 6 coupe dishes. Pour the warm zabaglione over the strawberries and serve.

Steps:

• Place the chopped chocolate in a large bowl. In a saucepan, bring the cream to a simmer over medium-high heat. Quickly pour the hot cream over the chocolate and let sit for 1 minute; then whisk together until the chocolate is melted. Whisk in the mascarpone, then strain into a bowl big enough to whip the mixture in the next day. Cover and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Remove the chocolate mixture from the refrigerator and whip until fluffy and slightly stiffened, being careful not to overwhip (like heavy cream, the mixture can turn to butter if whipped too long). Refrigerate.
• Combine the espresso and coffee liqueur in a shallow dish. (I wear rubber gloves for the next step to keep my fingers from getting stained). Pick up 1 ladyfinger, then place it in the espresso for just as long as it takes you to pick up the next 1 and place it in the espresso (about 10 seconds). Fish the first 1 out and place it in the bottom of a 9 by 13-inch baking dish. Repeat with the remaining ladyfingers, arranging them in rows in the bottom of the dish and continuously adding and removing the ladyfingers from the espresso mixture. (This will allow them to soak for the perfect amount of time without getting soggy--they should be wet on the outside but still have an unsoaked core at the center.)
• When you have made a complete layer of ladyfingers, spread half of the chocolate mixture over the ladyfingers and cover lightly with some of the chocolate shavings. Repeat, making 1 more complete layer of ladyfingers, chocolate, and shavings. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve, at least 2 hours.
• Serve cold, dishing out spoonfuls with a large serving spoon. Sprinkle with powdered sugar, if desired.

Steps:

• Place the mascarpone cheese in a large bowl and set aside. With an electric mixer, beat the cream and 1/4 cup of the sugar in a medium bowl until soft peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone. Then fold in the chilled Chocolate Zabaglione. Cover and refrigerate.
• Whisk the warmed espresso and the remaining 1/4 cup of sugar in another medium bowl until blended. Line a 9 1/4 by 5 by 2 3/4-inch metal loaf pan with plastic wrap, allowing the plastic to extend over the sides. Working with 1 cookie at a time, dip 8 cookies into the espresso, and arrange in a single layer side by side over the bottom of the prepared pan.
• Spoon 1/3 of the mascarpone mixture over the cookies to cover. Repeat dipping 8 of the cookies in the espresso and layering the cookies and remaining mascarpone mixture 2 more times. Dip the remaining 8 cookies in the espresso and arrange side by side atop the tiramisu. Press lightly to compact slightly (the last layer will extend above the pan sides). Cover the tiramisu with plastic and refrigerate at least 6 hours.
• Unwrap the plastic from atop the tiramisu. Invert the tiramisu onto a platter. Remove the plastic. Sift the cocoa over the tiramisu, and with a vegetable peeler or sharp knife, make dark chocolate shavings and sprinkle over top.
• Add cream and chocolate to a heavy small saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the chocolate chips are melted and smooth. Set aside and keep warm.
• Whisk the egg yolks, sugar, Marsala, and salt in a large glass bowl until blended. Set the bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, but do not allow the bottom of the bowl to touch the water. Whisk the egg mixture over the simmering water until it is thick and creamy, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Using a large rubber spatula, fold the melted chocolate mixture into the egg mixture. Cover and refrigerate to chill completely.

Steps:

• Prepare Zabaglione by placing egg yolks in top of a double boiler.
• Add sugar and beat with portable mixer or rotary beater at medium speed until mixture is pale yellow and creamy.
• Place water in bottom of double boiler and bring to a boil over high heat.
• Reduce heat to lower and place top of double boiler over simmering water.
• Gradually beat 1/4 cup marsala into egg yolk mixture.
• Beat 1 minute.
• Gradually beat in remaining marsala and 1/4 cup white wine.
• Continue cooking custard over the simmering water approximately 4 to 8 minutes or until mixture is fluffy and soft peaks form from beaters.
• Beat constantly, scraping sides and bottom of pan frequently.
• DONOT over cook custard!
• Immediately remove from heat and whisk custard briefly.
• Cover and refrigerate Zabaglione until well chilled.
• Beat cream with 2 TB sugar in large bowl until soft peaks form.
• Gently fold in mascarpone cheese, then Zabaglione.
• Refrigerate at least 3 hours or until well chilled.
• Combine espresso, cognac and remaining 2 TB sugar and vanilla extract.
• Layer 1/4 of ladyfingers in a flower-petal design in a trifle dish.
• Generously brush ladyfingers with the espresso mixture.
• Spoon 1/4 of cheese mixture over ladyfingers to within 1 inch of sides of dish.
• Sprinkle with 1/4 of grated chocolate.
• Repeat these layers 3 more times.
• Sprinkle remaining 1/4 of chocolate around perimeter of cheese mixture and sift cocoa powder over the top of the cheese mixture.
• Cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes.
