Welcome to another episode of the Daily Recipes podcast! Today, we're making a classic Italian dessert: Tiramisu.
Here are the ingredients you'll need:
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup white sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pound mascarpone cheese
- 1/4 cup strong brewed coffee or espresso
- 2 tablespoons rum or brandy (optional)
- 24 ladyfingers
- Cocoa powder, for dusting
Now, let's get started.
Step 1: In a medium saucepan, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in the milk and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and coats the back of a spoon. Remove from heat and let cool.
Step 2: In a large bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract until stiff peaks form. In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until smooth. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone cheese until well combined.
Step 3: In a shallow dish, combine the coffee or espresso and rum or brandy (if using). Dip each ladyfinger into the mixture for a few seconds, then arrange in a single layer in a 9x13 inch dish.
Step 4: Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers. Repeat with another layer of soaked ladyfingers and the remaining mascarpone mixture.
Step 5: Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or overnight.
Step 6: Before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder.
And there you have it, a delicious Tiramisu that's sure to impress your guests. Thanks for tuning in to the Daily Recipes podcast, and we'll see you next time!
