Title: Small Town Tiramisu
Categories: Desserts, Dairy, Wine, Booze, Cheese
Yield: 10 Servings
1/2 c Kahlua
1/2 c Water
3 tb Instant espresso powder
6 tb Sugar; divided
1 c Heavy cream; softly whipped
6 Whole Egg Yolks
2 tb Medium-sweet Sherry
1 lb Mascarpone
36 Whole ladyfingers
2 tb Unsweetened cocoa powder
This is an adaptation of 2 recipes, one from Giada de
Laurentiis and the other from Gourmet, that scraps certain
crucial elements (from an Italian perspective) and makes do
with small town substitutes.
Bring the Kahlua, water and espresso powder to a boil. Add 2
tablespoons of sugar and simmer until the sugar is
dissolved. Set aside.
Prepare the whipped cream; do not overwhip, you want it
softly whipped. Set aside.
Beat the egg yolks, sherry and remaining sugar in a double
boiler or heat safe bowl over barely simmering water. Beat
until pale and tripled in volume, about 6 minutes. Remove
from the heat, and slowly beat in the mascarpone, a dollop
at a time. Once the mascarpone is incorporated, fold the
whipped cream in until they are combined completely.
If you are using crisp ladyfingers, dip each one completely
in the Kahlua mixture. Shake it off gently, and place it in
the bottom of a 9 x 13 baking dish. If your ladyfingers are
soft, as mine were, lay the ladyfingers out in the pan until
the entire layer is covered. Brush the Kahlua mixture over
the ladyfingers. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over
the ladyfingers. Repeat, ending with the rest of the
mascarpone mixture. Cover with plastic wrap and chill for at
least 4 hours and up to 8 hours. Sprinkle the top with cocoa
powder before serving.
