Enter the Tower of Top Chef, home to some of the world’s most talented culinary artists. Here, Chef Marco, the man behind the Tower’s most famous tiramisu recipe, has agreed to share his secrets with us. So grab your apron and get ready to become a tiramisu master.
First, let’s get the ingredients sorted. Here’s what you’ll need:
– 6 egg yolks
– 3/4 cup sugar
– 2/3 cup milk
– 1 1/4 cup heavy cream
– 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
– 1 pound mascarpone cheese
– 24-30 savoiardi (ladyfingers)
– 1/4 cup brewed espresso, cooled
– 1/4 cup coffee liqueur
– Cocoa powder for dusting
Now, it’s time to get cooking. Follow these steps carefully to ensure that the end result is a perfect tiramisu.
1. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and sugar until they are light and fluffy.
2. In a separate saucepan, heat the milk until it begins to steam. Slowly pour the milk into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly so that the eggs don’t curdle.
3. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until it thickens and coats the back of a spoon. This should take around 5-7 minutes.
4. Remove the mixture from the heat and let it cool to room temperature.
5. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the heavy cream and vanilla extract until soft peaks form.
6. In another bowl, beat the mascarpone cheese until it’s smooth and creamy.
7. Gently fold the mascarpone cheese into the yolk mixture, then fold in the whipped cream.
8. Combine the espresso and coffee liqueur in a shallow dish.
9. Dip each savoiardi in the espresso mixture for a few seconds, so that they soak up some of the liquid. Be careful not to soak them for too long, as they will become too soft and fall apart.
10. Arrange the soaked ladyfingers in a single layer on the bottom of a 9×13 inch dish.
11. Spread half of the mascarpone mixture over the ladyfingers.
12. Repeat the process, making a second layer with the remaining ladyfingers and mascarpone mixture.
13. Cover the dish with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
14. When you’re ready to serve, remove the tiramisu from the fridge and dust the top with cocoa powder.
And there you have it – the Tower of Top Chef’s tiramisu recipe. This dessert is sure to impress your guests, and with a little practice, you’ll be a pro in no time. Give it a try and let us know how it turns out!
