Tiramisu With Starbucks Coffee Liqueur Recipes

CLASSIC TIRAMISU

Steps:

• Combine egg yolks and sugar in the top of a double boiler, over boiling water. Reduce heat to low, and cook for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and whip yolks until thick and lemon colored.
• Add mascarpone to whipped yolks. Beat until combined. In a separate bowl, whip cream to stiff peaks. Gently fold into yolk mixture and set aside.
• Split the lady fingers in half, and line the bottom and sides of a large glass bowl. Brush with coffee liqueur. Spoon half of the cream filling over the lady fingers. Repeat ladyfingers, coffee liqueur and filling layers. Garnish with cocoa and chocolate curls. Refrigerate several hours or overnight.
• To make the chocolate curls, use a vegetable peeler and run it down the edge of the chocolate bar.

CLASSIC TIRAMISU

Steps:

• For the coffee syrup: In a small bowl, combine hot coffee, 2 tablespoons sugar, and liqueur. Mix until sugar dissolves. Set aside to cool.
• For the filling: Place egg yolks, sugar, and Marsala in a medium heatproof bowl and set over a bain marie (i.e. place the heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water on a low heat; the bowl should not touch the water). Whisk constantly using a whisk, or preferably a hand mixer, until the mixture doubles in volume, is hot to the touch, and has a thick, foamy consistency (around 5-7 minutes). Remove from heat and set aside to cool slightly, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, in a mixer bowl, whisk heavy cream using an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Once egg yolk mixture has cooled, add the mascarpone and whisk until smooth. Then gently fold in the whipped cream in 2 additions until smooth.
• Assemble tiramisu: Dip ladyfingers very quickly (less than a second) into the coffee syrup and line them in one layer in an 8-inch baking dish. If necessary, break a few ladyfingers to fit them in the dish. Spoon half of the filling over the ladyfingers and smooth the top. Repeat with a second layer of coffee-dipped ladyfingers, then with the rest of the cream. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days. I don't suggest freezing tiramisu since it will ruin its texture. Right before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder or grated chocolate. Serve cold.
• For individual glasses: Spoon a dollop of the mascarpone cream mixture into the bottom of the glass. Break each ladyfinger into 4 pieces, soak in the coffee and place on top of the cream. You don't have to use all 4 pieces at once; it depends on the size of the glass. Repeat with layering filling and ladyfingers, creating 2-3 layers in total. The amount of ladyfingers you use is up to you. For each ladyfinger, add about 2-3 heaping tablespoons of cream. It doesn't have to be exact - if you like more cream, go ahead and add more. Cover and refrigerate for at least 6 hours or up to 2 days. Right before serving, dust the top with cocoa powder. Serve cold.

TIRAMISU WITH STARBUCKS COFFEE LIQUEUR

Steps:

• Separate egg whites and yolks into two large bowls.
• Beat egg yolks while gradually adding sugar until smooth and pale in color.
• Fold mascarpone cheese into egg yolks gently.
• In the other bowl, beat egg whites into stiff peaks.
• Fold egg whites into mascarpone cheese mixture gently.
• Refrigerate until ready to assemble tiramisu.
• I brew the espresso like coffee in my coffee machine to save time. I use 4 Tablespoons of freshly ground espresso beans to 6 oz. water and I usually have to make it in 2-3 batches because the basket in my machine won't hold enough of the grounds to make it all at once. I suggest adding the grounds first, then matching that amount with water.
• Combine room temperature espresso with coffee liqueur and set aside.
• To assemble tiramisu:.
• Dip ladyfingers two at a time (one in each hand) into coffee mixture for one second on each side, then place immediately into pan. Continue until pan is covered in one layer of ladyfingers.
• Spoon half of mascarpone cheese mixture onto ladyfingers in the pan, carefully spreading evenly to sides of pan.
• Repeat with another layer of ladyfingers dipped in coffee mixture, then the remaining mascarpone cheese mixture, making sure to smooth top out evenly.
• Put the unsweetened cocoa powder in to a fine sieve or strainer and tap gently over the tiramisu, covering it with a thin layer of cocoa powder.
• Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least one hour, overnight is preferred.
• Tip: use leftover coffee mixture to make delicious adult iced coffees in the blender. Just add lots of ice, cream and sugar, then sprinkle cinnamon on top!
