Hi and a huge welcome to Steve's Kitchen Today we're going to make that
tiramisu I've got the Italian colors on so I'm feeling all Italian this is a
wonderful
light delicious dish from Italy and it uses the Mascarpone cheese
and I'm going to be using those lady fingers that I made the other day you
can buy them in the shops they're very easy to get
Let's get on and make this fantastic tiramisu
Right first things first we just want to get a cup of
superfine sugar or caster sugar into a stand mixer
and I've separated by eggs into 6 yolks and the six whites over here
and I'm just going to pop those egg yolks into there and we want to get this going as
its going to take a good 10 minutes
so it's good to get the eggs and sugar going early on because we want to bring
that up to a wonderful
think consistency like a mayonnaise and whilst the egg yolks are whipping up we're just going to
whip our egg whites up into stiff peaks
that's what we're looking for lovely stiff peaks like that and you want your peaks stiff enough
that you can put the bowl above your head
without them coming out. Now after 10 minutes we're going to have this
wonderful thick batter in here. Now I'm just going to remove the whisk out of the
way briefly
and I'm going to put 500 grams of Mascarpone straight in there
it's all nice and soft and at room temperature so for me that is
two tubs which is equal to a pound of Mascarpone
Now put the whisk back on there we're going to turn this very slowly now just
to incorporate the Mascarpone
into our egg yolk mixture
and we don't need to do this for a very long as soon as that's blended together
we're ready for the next stage we've got this wonderful
golden Mascarpone and eggs yolks mixture in there which by the way is absolutely
delicious
and the next stage we're going to do by hand I've got those wonderful light
egg whites and I'm just going to pop them in on top
and using a wooden spoon I'm going to mix this through gently
keeping all the air bubbles in there until I get a wonderful even
light and fluffy texture. Now this is what I'm looking for lovely smooth texture like
this and don't be tempted to go too fast and knock all those beautiful air bubbles
Now it's time we going to assemble this tiramisu
I'm going to be making individual tiramisu's here you could do this in a big bowl
it wouldn't matter. I've got those lady finger biscuits and we want to infuse those with
some coffee so I got an espresso coffee or large
cup of espresso coffee here just going to pop it in a bowl
and I like to infuse that with something like a marsala or fortified wine
probably just a whatever takes your fancy really
then we're going to construct this now we want to dip
our biscuits in pretty quick I'm going to go biscuits first people do it different
ways around you don't want to soak it
in there too long I'm going to pop a whole biscuit then I'm going to take
half a biscuit I'm just going to break these in half little dip into our delicious
sauce
pop it in there and that gives me a nice
biscuit layer and then I'm going to take that wonderful
Mascarpone mixture and I'm just going to
pour that over the top and so we've just got a little coating
I'm just going to give that a little shake and let it down and then we'll go in
with biscuits again
a little dip in our sauce pop it on there
and then we're going to layer that again on top with our Mascarpone
and then again I'm going to
layer some biscuits on here this is my third layer biscuits
and then finally we're just going to top that off
with our cream and Mascarpone mix right the way to the top.
Now another way you could make this
would be to actually pop a little bit of the Mascarpone in first
I'm going to make this one my one because this is possibly the way I prefer to do it
break some of our little biscuits in half dip them in our sauce
and I'm going to stand them around the outside
of the bowl so I end up with those little soldiers around the outside I'm going to put
a little biscuit
in the middle as well, a couple of half pieces
and this one's going to err a little bit more on the biscuit
but it's the way I like it I'm going to pop the Mascarpone sauce
on top of that a couple more biscuits dipped in our
coffee sauce and then we're going to fill that to the top
with our Mascarpone cream sauce I mean this one is going to be absolutely
delicious
and you look at that one that's going to run down into the inside
then we going to set this in the fridge until it's completely set about three
to four hours
should do it
And once they come out of
the fridge I left mine overnight they'll have set fairly firm
that Mascarpone mousse now is just waiting to be eaten
but first of all I'm going to sprinkle some cocoa over the top
fairly liberally and I'm going to grate a little chocolate on top there as well
just to add some texture and flavor
and there you have it,there is my tiramisu Now these are not bite sized servings but
I'm going to give this a try now
Now do you think I made them too big, these are a huge tiramisu but fortunately
I love them so let's give this a try going to get some of that
biscuit there as well. My that is
heavenly absolutely light and fluffy
I could probably eat this quite comfortably anyway please share the love
