Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 6 egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 1/4 cups heavy cream
- 8 ounces mascarpone cheese, softened
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Yolks
In a heatproof bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined and creamy.
Step 2: Heat the Milk
In a saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until it starts to simmer. Remove it from the heat.
Step 3: Add Milk to Egg Mixture
Slowly pour the hot milk into the egg mixture while whisking continuously. This will temper the eggs, ensuring they don’t scramble.
Step 4: Cook the Mixture
Transfer the mixture back to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon. This will take about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Step 5: Add Mascarpone and Vanilla
In a separate bowl, beat the softened mascarpone cheese and vanilla extract until creamy and smooth. Gradually add the cooled egg mixture to the mascarpone mixture, beating until well incorporated.
Step 6: Whip the Cream
In a chilled bowl, whip the heavy cream until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the mascarpone mixture until well combined and fluffy.
Step 7: Refrigerate and Serve
Transfer the Tiramisu cream to a covered container and refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld together. Once chilled, use it as a filling for your Tiramisu dessert or enjoy it simply as a creamy treat on its own.
Now that you have mastered the art of making the perfect Tiramisu cream, you can impress your family and friends with this delightful dessert. With its creamy texture and delicate flavor, this homemade Tiramisu cream will take your desserts to new heights. Enjoy!
