Luxury Tiramisu
Serves 6
100g caster sugar
5 tablespoons water
3 large free range egg yolks
250g mascarpone
100ml crème fraîche
5 tablespoons greek yogurt
250ml double cream
1 teaspoon good vanilla extract
about 12-15 Italian Savoiaradi ‘Lady Finger’ biscuits
200ml of strong fresh coffee
2 tablespoons Marsala
2 tablespoons Tia Maria
Cocoa powder or grated chocolate to finish
1. Put the water and sugar in a heavy based pan and dissolve gently, don’t stir once the sugar has dissolved. Increase the heat and boil for approx 5 mins until the syrup is at ‘soft ball’ stage (when a dribble dropped into cold water forms a soft, clear ball) or it’s at 120°C.
2. While you’re waiting for the syrup, whisk the egg yolks with a handheld mixer put the bowl on a silicone mat to it moving. Get the yolks thick and pale.
3. Once the syrup is ready, trickle it into the yolks whisking all the time. Continue to whisk until the mix is cool (approx 3 mins).
4. Put the mascarpone, crème fraîche and yogurt in a bowl and beat well to a smooth consistency. Add the vanilla extract and combine.
5. Gently mix in the egg yolk mixture.
6. Whip the cream until softly stiff and fold gently into the mixture.
7. Mix the coffee and alcohols in a shallow bowl. Quickly dunk the sponge fingers into the liquid one at a time (don’t allow them to become soggy) and layer the bottom of pretty glass dish or individual glasses. Spoon over half the cream mixture. Add another layer of dunked sponge fingers and cover with the remaining cream. Chill for at least 2 hours. Just prior to serving sprinkle with cocoa from a fine mesh sieve, use a template or stencil to achieve a pretty effect. You can substitute grated good quality dark chocolate - or use both!
Sometimes the creme mixture can be a bit thin in consistency so I’ll whip it some more and put in the fridge to thicken. It is best to allow at least 24 hours from making to serving to allow it to set to a consistency that allows it to be served. Alternatively I often make individual servings in a shallow coffee cup.
