This dessert is relatively new, having only become popular in the mid-1980s. Today, tiramisu has become one of the most popular desserts not only in Italy but in restaurants of all kinds. With a little care, it is indestructible!
Ingredients (for 4 people):
1 egg
62 g granulated sugar
200 g baby sponge cake
1 dl espresso coffee
5 g cocoa powder
Preparing the tiramisu:
The whipping cream is cooled. Place the eggs and granulated sugar in a stainless steel mixing bowl and heat over steam, stirring constantly. When it reaches 65-70 degrees Celsius, you have reached the right temperature. You can easily check this with a core thermometer. If you don't have a thermometer handy, touch the mixture with the tip of your finger. If it feels hot, remove it from the steam and strain it into a clean mixing bowl using a fine sieve (i.e. filter out the ice). Then whisk with a hand mixer until it reaches kitchen temperature. Add the mascarpone to the egg mixture and mix until smooth. Add the cooled whipping cream to the for mascarpone and whisk on low speed until you get a light, creamy consistency. Refrigerate until ready to use. Brew the pressed coffee and prepare a glass bowl. Dip the baby biscuits in the coffee and place a row in the bottom of the glass bowl. Spread half of the cream over the top and smooth it out using a silicone spatula or a foam pad. Repeat the process once more. Cover the glass bowl and place in the fridge, it's worth waiting overnight. To serve, sprinkle the top with cocoa powder.#
