Recipe: Easy Tiramisu

Posted by Chef Jim on April 15, 2010  |  Comments Off

Here’s what you need:

1 cup cold whipping cream
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla extract
8 ounces Mascarpone cheese
1 1/2 cups espresso or very strong coffee, cooled
1/3 cup Amaretto
1 1/2 cups bittersweet chocolate chips (or shaved chocolate)
20 ladyfingers
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 Tbsp. cocoa powder

Here’s how to make it:

In a bowl in a stand mixer, whisk together whipping cream with powdered sugar and vanilla until
stiff peaks form. Reduce speed to low and mix in mascarpone just until blended. Take care not to
overbeat since this will cause the cream to start to separate.

In a small bowl, combine espresso and amaretto. Dip ladyfingers, one at a time, in espresso mixture
for 1 second, then allow to drain for 2 seconds and place in a single layer in the bottom of a loaf
pan. With a rubber spatula, spread 1/3 of the cream mixture evenly over ladyfingers. Sprinkle with
1/2 cup chocolate chips. Repeat layers 2 more times until all cream and chocolate chips are used.
Sprinkle with cinnamon and refrigerate for 30 minutes before slicing and plating.
