 Tiramisu | Status Approved | | Name |  Tiramisu | | Category | Desserts, Italian | | Serves/Yields | 9 servings | | Source | Kate | | Difficulty | Easy | | Prep. Time | 25 m | | Cook Time | 10 minutes | | Introduction | | This recipe was given to me by a lady I worked with years ago. Olga was Russian but married to an Italian and she learned to make this from her Mother in law. It is in my opinion still the best recipe I’ve found. | | Ingredients | | 6 large eggs, separated
3 tablespoons sugar
1 pound mascarpone cheese
1 cup strong espresso, cooled ( you may have some left over)
6 Tbsp amaretto ,
24 (about)packaged ladyfingers (preferably Savoiardi biscuits if you can find them)
1/2 cup bittersweet chocolate shavings, for garnish
12 Amaretti cookies, crushed (optional) | | Directions | | Step: 1 |  In a heat proof bowl over simmering water, whisk egg yolks and sugar until thick and the custard produces ribbons when whisk is lifted from the bowl.
Cool mixture to barely warm.
While egg mixture is cooling, whip the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Add mascarpone cheese to egg mixture and beat until smooth. Add 1 tablespoon of espresso and 2 tablespoon* amaretto and mix until thoroughly combined.Gently fold in the whipped egg whites.
* Sometime the marscapone is extra thick and if this is the case, more ameretto can be added if you like. Whoooope!
| | Step: 2 |  In a small shallow dish, add remaining espresso and amaretto. Dip each ladyfinger into espresso mixture, but don't let them soak up too much. Letting the ladyfingers soak will cause them to fall apart and the finished dessert will be runny. | | Step: 3 |  Place the ladyfingers 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 dipped 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 and crushed cookies. |
