Donut Tiramisu Recipes

DOUGHNUT TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Combine the mascarpone, 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar, the coffee liqueur and vanilla in a large bowl and beat with a mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute (do not overmix).
• Combine the heavy cream and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar in a separate bowl; beat on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form. Fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture in 3 additions; set aside.
• Combine the espresso and the remaining 1 tablespoon confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl. One at a time, dip 12 doughnut halves in the espresso mixture and arrange in a single layer in a 9-by-13-inch baking dish, breaking the doughnuts as necessary to cover the bottom of the dish.
• Spread one-third of the mascarpone mixture over the doughnuts. Dip the remaining 12 doughnut halves in the espresso mixture and arrange on top. Spread the remaining mascarpone mixture on top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 4 hours or overnight. Cut into pieces and dust with cocoa powder.

COFFEE AND DONUTS TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Whisk milk and pudding mix together in a large bowl until smooth. Fold in whipped topping and set aside.
• Pour coffee into a shallow bowl. Dip one donut into the coffee and hold for 5 to 10 seconds on each side. Place in the bottom of an 8-inch square baking dish. Repeat with 11 more donuts to fill the bottom of the dish.
• Spread 1/2 of the pudding mixture over the donuts. Repeat the process with remaining 12 donuts and pudding mixture. Lightly sprinkle cocoa powder over top.
• Cover and refrigerate, 8 hours to overnight. Serve chilled.

CLASSIC TIRAMISù

Steps:

• Using an electric mixer in a medium bowl, whip together egg yolks and 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until very pale yellow and about tripled in volume. A slight ribbon should fall from the beaters (or whisk attachment) when lifted from the bowl. Transfer mixture to a large bowl, wiping out the medium bowl used to whip the yolks and set aside.
• In the medium bowl, whip cream and remaining 1/4 cup/50 grams sugar until it creates soft-medium peaks. Add mascarpone and continue to whip until it creates a soft, spreadable mixture with medium peaks. Gently fold the mascarpone mixture into the sweetened egg yolks until combined.
• Combine espresso and rum in a shallow bowl and set aside.
• Using a sifter, dust the bottom of a 2-quart baking dish (an 8x8-inch dish, or a 9-inch round cake pan would also work here) with 1 tablespoon cocoa powder.
• Working one at a time, quickly dip each ladyfinger into the espresso mixture -- they are quite porous and will fall apart if left in the liquid too long -- and place them rounded side up at the bottom of the baking dish. Repeat, using half the ladyfingers, until you've got an even layer, breaking the ladyfingers in half as needed to fill in any obvious gaps (a little space in between is O.K.). Spread half the mascarpone mixture onto the ladyfingers in one even layer. Repeat with remaining espresso-dipped ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
• Dust top layer with remaining tablespoon of cocoa powder. Top with shaved or finely grated chocolate, if desired.
• Cover with plastic wrap and let chill in the refrigerator for at least 4 hours (if you can wait 24 hours, all the better) before slicing or scooping to serve.

DONUT TIRAMISU

Steps:

• In the bowl of a mixer fitted with whisk attachment, add the egg yolks and sugar and beat until pale yellow and thick (5 minutes), scraping down sides as necessary.
• Add the mascarpone, heavy cream, 1 tablespoon almond liquor and vanilla. Beat until soft peaks form (6-8 minutes). Set aside.
• Add the boiling water to a medium bowl and stir in espresso powder. Allow to cool slightly. Stir in 2 tablespoons almond liquor.
• Have ready 4 martini glasses.
• Add 4 donut holes to the espresso mixture and allow to soak 2 minutes, turning. Add one donut hole to each of the glasses. Top with 2-3 tablespoons cream mixture.
• Add remaining donut holes to espresso and again allow to soak 2 minutes. Add 3 donuts to each glass and top with the remaining cream.
• Refrigerate at least 2 hours. When ready to serve, sprinkle with grated chocolate.
