Tiramisu Alessi Recipes

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.
• In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form.
• Whisk mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth.
• In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Split ladyfingers in half lengthwise and drizzle with coffee mixture.
• Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a 7x11 inch dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat layers and sprinkle with cocoa. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.

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:

• In a large bowl, using an electric mixer with whisk attachment, beat egg yolks and sugar until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Add mascarpone cheese and beat until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and mix until thoroughly combined.
• In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and rum. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso for only 5 seconds. Letting the ladyfingers soak too long will cause them to fall apart. Place the soaked ladyfinger on the bottom of a 13 by 9 inch baking dish, breaking them in half if necessary in order to fit the bottom.
• Spread evenly 1/2 of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Arrange another layer of soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mascarpone mixture.
• Cover tiramisu with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, up to 8 hours.
• Before serving, sprinkle with chocolate shavings.

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.

Steps:

• Blend egg yolks and sugar until pale yellow in color. In bottom part of a double boiler, bring water to a boil. Place egg mixture over water and reduce heat to medium. Add Marsala gradually whipping continuously. Scrape bottom and sides of pan occasionally and cook for 6-10 minutes. Transfer to bowl, cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• Whip cream with 2 Tbsp. sugar until soft peaks form. Fold in Mascarpone and Zabaglione and mix until well blended. Cove 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" (approximately) pan. Carefully spoon one tablespoon coffee mixture over each cookie until soaked but not falling apart (You can also dip each one in the mixture quickly.). Arrange them in the bottom of the pan. Cover with 1/3 of the cheese mixture and sprinkle cocoa powder on top. Repeat two more time. Cover and refrigerate 5 hours or overnight. Garnish (by sprinkling cocoa powder on top or by using chocolate shavings) and serve. Makes about 12 servings.
