Ingredients

  1. 3 cups heavy cream
  2. 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  3. 10 ounces mascarpone cheese
  4. 1 egg yolk
  5. 1 1/2 tablespoons sweet Marsala
  6. 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  7. 1/4 cup instant espresso powder
  8. 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  9. 1 tablespoon coffee extract
  10. 1 1/2 cups water
  11. 1/4 cup sweet Marsala
  12. Vanilla extract
  13. 6 Italian lady fingers
  14. 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  15. Chocolate shavings

Instructions

  1. To make the tiramisu filling: In the bowl of a tabletop mixer, with whip attachment, beat cream and sugar until fluffy and soft peaks form. Reserve 1 cup and refrigerate to use later as garnish. Add cheese to remaining cream on low speed, gradually increasing to high speed for 30 seconds or until thoroughly incorporated. Whisk yolk in bowl over pot of simmering water until warm and pale yellow in color. Add the Marsala and vanilla. Cover and refrigerate until ready to assemble.
  2. To make the coffee syrup: In a medium sauce pot combine all ingredients except Marsala and vanilla. Reduce syrup to 1 cup. Let cool. Add Marsala and vanilla, to taste.
  3. To assemble: Break the ladyfingers in half and dip into coffee syrup. Count 5 seconds and remove from liquid to drain on baking tray. Repeat until all cookies have been dipped. Place 2 pieces of soaked ladyfingers into sides of 2-ounce Sherry glasses. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of syrup over ladyfingers and let absorb. Spoon tiramisu cream filling into each glass. Sprinkle tops with cocoa powder. Garnish with dollops of whipped cream and chocolate shavings. Serve immediately.

You will not be disappointed in this recipe. It tasted really good. I prefer non-chocolate tiramisu as it bring out the flavors and taste of coffee and cheese the best. With chocolate based tiramisu, you run the risk of it tasting more like a chocolate cake. BTW, you can easily substitute pound cake squares or rounds for ladyfingers. Also, I skipped the egg completely.

I changed the two ladyfingers to however many fit into my serving glasses (I used 8 oz drinking glasses, it was all I had) and omitted the step to drizzle syrup onto the already soaked ladyfingers. It would have been way too much. Also, a little too much whipped cream to mascarpone ratio, so would cut that down by half a cup next time. Otherwise, a yummy hit with me and my tiramisu-loving hsuband!
