Recipe: Tiramisu

Rebecca ConnorsNovember 21, 2024

Tiramisu is a no-bake Italian dessert that tastes much more complicated than it is. Made with espresso-dipped ladyfingers layered with a sweet, creamy mascarpone cream.

When individually portioned (either in a single-serving container or after being cut into neat slices) the smooth, slightly porous surface of this dessert is the perfect canvas for a Dessert customized print using our Ripples Foam printer

For best results with your customized dessert choose a design with bold colors and thick lines so it stands out on your dessert.

We’ve absolutely “fallen in love” with this beautiful Tiramisu
from Isabelle Osteria’s fall menu.

Ingredients

6 egg yolks
3/4 cup white sugar
2/3 cup milk
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1 pound mascarpone cheese (room temperature)
1/4 cup strong brewed coffee (room temperature)
2 tbsp rum
6 oz ladyfinger cookies

INSTRUCTIONS:

Step 1:

In a medium saucepan, whisk together egg yolks and sugar until well blended. Whisk in milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils. Boil gently for 1 minute, remove from heat and allow to cool slightly. Cover tightly and chill in refrigerator 1 hour.

Step 2:

In a medium bowl, beat cream with vanilla until stiff peaks form.

Step 3:

Whish mascarpone into yolk mixture until smooth.

Step 4:

In a small bowl, combine coffee and rum. Split ladyfingers to half lengthwise and drizzle with coffee mixture.

Step 5:

Arrange half of soaked ladyfingers in bottom of a 7 x 11 dish. Spread half of mascarpone mixture over ladyfingers, then half of whipped cream over that. Repeat layers. Cover and refrigerate 4 to 6 hours, until set.

Step 6:

Print and serve.
