Tiramisu

Tiramisu

(serves 12)

 INGREDIENTS:

• 2 cups heavy cream
• 3 cups mascarpone, room temperature
• 12 egg yolks
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp honey
• 1/4 cup water
• 1 cup espresso
• 1/2 cup Kahlua
• 1 package ladyfingers

METHOD:

• In a stand mixer fitted with a whip attachment, whip heavy cream until it reaches soft peaks. Fold into mascarpone and set aside.

• In a small pot set over medium heat, combine sugar, honey and water and bring the mixture up too 260 degrees.

• While syrup is simmering, begin to whip egg yolks until pale yellow and doubled in volume in a standing mixer.

• Slowly stream in hot syrup down the side of the whipping egg yolks, being careful not to splatter. Once syrup had been incorporated, continue to whip until mixture has cooled.

• Fold into mascarpone and cream mixture.

• Combine espresso and liqueur. Break up ladyfingers in half and dip into the espresso mixture for a few seconds and place into a 9×13″ dish or personal ramekins, repeating until you have an even layer.

• Spoon over half of the mascarpone mousse mixture over the ladyfingers. Follow with another layer of espresso soaked ladyfingers and top with remaining mousse.

• Chill for several hours and dust with cocoa powder before serving.
